White noise around a sleeping baby raises the threshold where they wake.

They become used to it.

If a baby only ever sleeps in the first few months in total silence, they are more likely to be disturbed by the tiniest noise.

When our two were newborns we'd talk around them when they were asleep, not worry about putting the washing machine on etc.

Even now, aged 11, my boy sleeps through anything. Godsend!
