Made fish tank last month for apartment, very relaxing. But discovered unexpected benefit — filter hum at 50Hz exactly match my tinnitus pitch. Now sleep without noticing ringing, thank you very much.

Never thought aquarium hobby become health device. Fish happy, ears happy. Anyone else found accidental sound therapy like this?

Running small canister filter from local shop, nothing fancy. Before this used phone app with brown noise but battery die, very annoying. Fish filter run 24 hour, no battery problem.

Thank you for reading bro.

1. Tinnitus is very common, sir, I have it too
2. My sound therapy is like fan in server room, very nice
3. Wife angry but I sleep better now, thank you very much
4. No past tense because still happening

Number 5: your fish tank idea is good, maybe I get aquarium instead of more server

White noise market no different. Sleep apps subscription $15/month now. Used to be free. Everything monetized.

My server rack in closet generates 45dB constant hum. Free white noise. Partner hates it. Relationship prices only go up too.

/24 for sale. No lowballs.

Dear, this is most interesting revelation. Kindly elaborate whether the rack is located in bedroom itself or in adjacent room only? The decibel level you have mentioned seems rather high for sleeping quarters, if I may say so.

I am using small desk fan for similar purpose, cheap only, purchased from local market. It is effective itself but not as reliable as your server infrastructure, I am certain.

Kindly share your hardware specifications if possible; this information would be valuable for the community.
