A recent study suggests that exposure to white and pink noise may improve task performance in individuals with ADHD.

The study was published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry .

The researchers conducted a meta-analysis of data from 13 studies, encompassing 335 participants.

On average, exposure to the noise had a small but statistically significant positive effect on task performance for those with ADHD or elevated ADHD symptoms.

The researchers conducted several additional analyses to ensure the robustness of their findings.

They found that the effect of noise was consistent regardless of whether the studies had been published in peer-reviewed journals or in other formats, such as theses or book chapters.

They also looked at whether the effect size varied depending on whether the participants were taking medication for ADHD.
