The ambient white noise track has been replaced by a shorter, quieter clip. It has caused a change in users' routines at night.
Rain, a fireplace, the ocean, and white noise are some of the sounds that can be played by the Google Assistant. People use background noise to distract themselves from their thoughts and to sleep.
Users discovered last week that the white noise clip has been changed. A quieter 10-minute track has been added to the list of things to ask the assistant to play. Some have found the break noticeable.
It may seem like a minor problem in the grand scheme of things, but the sudden change has caused significant disruption for some, especially harried parents who use the white noise of the Google Assistant to get their children to sleep. Users who are unhappy have taken to forums such as Reddit, and have shared stories of their sleep problems and requests for the sound to be restored.

The official Made by Google account stated that they don't have any details to share about why the white noise sound of the Home was changed, but are aware of the complaints and are gathering more information from users. It has asked users for the exact command structure they're using when requesting white noise, suggesting that this may not have been a deliberate change.
The website reached out to the internet giant for comment.
