Problem: I'm being driven mad by voices speaking to me thru white noise. Need white noise to sleep

Psychiatrist today suggested:

normal human speech has typical rhythm, cadence
fans, white noise audio files are always looped, rhythms in it
brain is hearing those patterns as human voices
I need to introduce staggered rhythms to disrupt

Possibilities:

Willie Nelson, William Shatner speak with atypical cadence. Play at same time as white noise
phone app that vibrates atypically
machine in room that generates atypical rhythms, vibrations

Options, ideas? I'd like not to go further insane

If you really want a "staggered cadence", try listening to all of the above at the same time. I'm sure it will create a relaxing soundscape for sleep!
