Brown noise is the way to go. White noise is too broad - and largely unnecessary - the higher frequencies are more likely to damage your hearing over time (particularly at any elevated loudness, ie if you're trying to drown out some loud noise to sleep). Brown noise will do a far superior job at blocking out snoring, thuds, etc. I don't know how people sleep with white noise, the highs are too screeching.
