Neonates in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) undergo numerous painful procedures, such as heel pricks, arterial or venous blood draws, and intravenous or intramuscular injections, as part of routine medical care. These repeated untreated painful and stressful stimuli have been demonstrated to disrupt infant neural synaptogenesis, brain maturation, and development. Several studies showed that positive effects of white noise interventions in neonates, including pain reduction, improved sleep
Conditions

Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: (1) newborns who are in a condition that affects their physiological response to pain, such as congenital malformations; post-surgery; use of sedatives, muscle relaxants, or anticonvulsants; (2) any condition that affects the child's hearing (e.g., congenital deafness); (3) are receiving oxygen; (4) have an axillary temperature above 37.5 degree Celcius .
