That's a lovely phrase. I actually use showertime to observe a different aspect of the sensory experience everyday; the touch of the water as it moves around, the sounds of water and soapbar moving, etc. On some days it can be a complete break from thinking about anything and just observing this flow.
Personally, I think so. I get the same effect if I'm in the hot tub with the jets running. White noise blocks distractions pretty well, so my brain can get lost in thought.
You don't need a shower or hot tub for that, there are online noise generators with hundreds of different flavors
such as https://mynoise.net/ - I prefer music most of the time however, the "rain sounds" are so relaxing that they make me sleepy...
Yeah, I use a sound machine at home for sleeping. We started with our kids when they were babies, then decided we liked having one in our room as well.
Haven't graduated to having one in my office, but maybe I should give that a whirl. Though one thing the shower & hot tub still have is temperature comfort. Warm and relaxing might be as important as the noise.
