"The researchers aren’t sure why white noise – which is made up of random signals – seems to benefit the inattentive. But Dr. Soderlund noted that people with ADHD lack adequate levels of dopamine – a chemical messenger in the brain. He speculates they are easily distracted because the reduced availability of dopamine means the brain is operating at a suboptimal level of activity."They say that tapping fingers or repetitive movements creates a sort of internal white nose to help people with ADHD concentrate. They have been doing studies to see if having this 'white noise' in the back of classrooms could help treat it, but the problem is that it is usually much too distracting for the other students. Very interesting. Give it a read if you get a chance.
