About these ten
Most are built from three layers, so with Hush Plus you can bring forward the part you like, whether that is the hum or the movement over it.
Across the group, the level between 2 and 12 kHz falls 5.5 dB per octave on average. Night coach is the darkest: it falls 6.0 dB per octave. Ferry cabin is the brightest: it falls 4.5 dB per octave.
All ten are built from layers, which Hush Plus lets you balance.
The ten sounds, darkest first
The shape is each sound's level in nine bands from 2 to 12 kHz; tilt is its slope. Negative is darker.

SleepCabin soundsWhy the inside of a plane, train or car sounds so deep, with Hush's ten travel sounds measured against brown noise.Focus and noiseOutside noiseTraffic, footsteps and voices stand out less in a room that is not silent. Matching a sound to the noise, and why bass is the hardest to cover.

Is aeroplane cabin noise the same as brown noise?

Which travel sounds are free in Hush?
None of these ten is among Hush's six free sounds. They are part of Hush Plus, and Hush plays a short preview of a Plus sound before you subscribe.
How were these levels measured?
Each sound was measured in one-octave bands centred from 2 to 12 kHz, the range Hush uses for pitch matching. A level is given in decibels relative to that sound's overall level, so it shows the shape of a sound, not how loud it plays. The figures come from Hush 1.0.0 (9).
