    I just ask my HomePod to do it.

    I guess that it might be streaming it?

    Which sorta highlights a large portion of the people doing it you’re likely missing: people who don’t even think about it.

      I wonder which way Apple does it, seeing as they have white noise (and a few other options), built into iOS. It seem like it would be trivial to stick that on the HomePod.

      I assume the Siri and Google assistant white noise just download the 20 min file when you ask and just repeat that. Whereas an 8h podcast of a 20 minute repeated sound will use 8h of bandwidth
