Listening to binaural beats to sleep

Q: Is it permissible to listen to binaural beats for sleep? I am a very sensitive person about sound. I am living in a bachelor room. My room partner snores so I cannot sleep easily. I spoke to him about his snoring but there's no improvement. Does Islam allow listening to binaural beats like: Rain with thunder storm sounds, ocean sounds and sounds with a piano?

A: If it has any resemblance with music or musical tones, then it is not permissible. If it does not have any resemblance with music or musical tones and there is nothing impermissible in it, then it will be permissible to listen to it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
