Q: 

Does white noise really block distractions and aid concentration?

Having stumbled across mentions of white noise on SimplyNoise.com and Wikipedia I have to admit I'm sceptical. Are there real benefits to listening to this stuff or would I be better off sticking to background music?

A: 

Music spectrum is closer to brown noise.
