I replaced my brown-noise browser tab with a menu bar app

    There's a sneaky menu bar background noise app already built into MacOS. You can add "Hearing" to the menu bar (or control center) from settings, and then use that to enable "Background Sounds"

      I've been trying to use this since they introduced it, but something on my Mac is constantly turning it off, seemingly at random. Sometimes it'll happen 3-4 times per minute until I give up and turn on a YouTube video.

      Only affects the background noise feature, doesn't affect any other sound, music or video. I have no idea what causes it.
