For years I have left a radio on an unused frequency, just the
ambient noise and static crashes. I started doing this as a kid. I
didn't know why it helped me sleep so well but it did.

Then I walked into a Sharper Image one day and find they called
them "white noise sleep enhancers."

Why didn't I think of that?

A diode switching on and off generates broadband white noise.

So does tuning an FM radio between stations.

The neurons misfiring between your ears generate white noise.

So you would buy or make an entire FM radio just to produce white noise
when a diode could do it. Very good David.

What sort of sorry ass radio hobbyist wouldn't already own an FM
radio?
Sounds like you're just reaching to be an insulting jerk.
