What it sounds like
A fan turned down low in a bedroom. The sound is mostly a soft, even stream of air with a quiet motor tone underneath. It holds its level without sweeping or pulsing. The pitch is low and the texture is smooth, closer to a long exhale than a blast. At low volume it fades into the room and becomes hard to pick out.
When it helps
A common pick for sleep, since it asks nothing of you and stays the same through the night. People also play it for a nap or while settling in with a book. If you like the cool, airy feel of a fan but no breeze, this gives the sound without the draft. It also blurs outside traffic and hallway noise.
What to pair it with
Brown noise adds a deeper floor if you like a heavier room. A faraway rain bed adds soft texture that is not rhythmic. For something with slow motion, layer quiet ocean waves beneath the fan. If you add more than one sound, the fan should still be the main layer.
