DSP Restrictions

Spotify

Spotify has added new restrictions for what they are describing as “Noise Content”. White noise, nature sounds, ambient sounds, machine sounds, sound effects, non-spoken ASMR, silence, and related content will all be required to have a duration of more than 2 minutes.

At Spotify’s discretion content in this style under 2 minutes will be removed.

You can find additional information here.

Deezer

Deezer is taking down all “Noise Content” and replacing it with Deezer Platforms own content. Deezer’s content will not participate in the market share of royalties being divvied out to artists.

Pandora

Pandora does accept white noise content, but provides limited support on it.
