It's really horrible too. About a year ago I was palying with a white noise generator and then all of a sudden I made this awful generation of white noise, I was so scared, I went into this horrible panic. Now, whenever I hear certain white noise sounds I freak out, what can I do to fix this?

This is really interesting. Google "Little Albert" and "Classical Conditioning" Read about it here:



en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Albert_experiment



You paired the sound with your startle reflex, or fear, which is a powerful pairing. Now you generalize to just the sound.



You can desensitize yourself by gradually exposing yourself to white noise, maybe start with fans and water because they sound a little different than the machines.
