I replaced my brown-noise browser tab with a menu bar app

- Hush is a Mac menu bar app that helps users focus by generating noise.
- It offers two noise types: brown noise (deep rumble like a waterfall) and speech blocker (masks human voice frequencies).
- The app is fully offline, generating sounds in real time without audio files, and is CPU-friendly and Apple notarized.
- Users control it via right-click to start/stop and left-click to switch noises, adjust volume, and tweak low-pass cutoff.
- It is pay-what-you-want (including $0) with open-source code on GitHub under MIT license.
- Feedback from beta testers helped eliminate less used noises (white and pink) and refine the app.
