This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether white noise—specifically rain and waterfall sounds played through headphones—can help reduce pain, anxiety, and discomfort during in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures. Many women find fertility treatment stressful and painful, and stress can actually make treatment less effective. This study wants to see if a simple, non-invasive sound therapy might help women feel calmer and more comfortable during their procedure.
Women undergoing fertility treatment often experience significant anxiety and pain, which can reduce the treatment's success and cause some women to stop treatment altogether. Researchers want to find simple, safe, non-medication ways to help women feel more comfortable and less stressed during these important procedures.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to either listen to white noise (rain and waterfall sounds at a comfortable volume through headphones) during your IVF procedure, or to receive standard care without the white noise. The researchers will measure your pain, anxiety, and comfort levels before, during, and after the procedure to see if the white noise makes a difference.
