Some people don’t like when it’s too quiet. For some it’s uneasy, for some it makes it too hard to stop your mind from wandering. That can make it hard to sleep or hard to focus on a task. White noise is noise that makes it not quiet, but isn’t so loud or too full of meaning to be a distraction on its own. Most people use something like ocean waves, running water, rain, wind noises, the warp core noise from Star Trek, etc.

Regardless of what it says on the image this is 100% a parody.

If I remember correctly I think this was made after he’d been cast as the Doctor but before his episodes started airing, which means it pretty much had to be an intentional joke to cast him this way.

The main problem with the series is trying to stretch a concept that works in 4 panel comics into a half hour sitcom. You think the solution would be to make it LONGER?
