About this app

Study Ambience is the best ambient sound app for studying, deep focus, and better sleep. Choose from 30+ immersive soundscapes — fireplace sounds, rain sounds, white noise, coffee shop ambience, forest sounds, thunderstorm, ocean waves, and more — all available completely offline. No internet connection needed.

Whether you need white noise to block distractions, rain sounds to help you concentrate, nature sounds to calm your mind, or a cozy study atmosphere to get into flow, Study Ambience creates the perfect sound environment for every session. Used by over 2 million people worldwide for studying, working, reading, meditating, and falling asleep.

Mix ambient sounds with calming melodies and binaural beats to build your perfect focus environment. Layer piano, guitar, violin, music box, marimba, and more on top of any soundscape. Every combination sounds different. Every session feels like your own. No other study app or white noise app gives you this level of control over your sound environment.

Use the built-in focus timer to structure your study sessions using the Pomodoro technique. Set your session length and let the ambient sounds carry you through. When the timer ends, your sounds stop automatically. Perfect for deep work, exam preparation, homework sessions, and anyone who struggles to stay on task.

Backed by science. Nature sounds reduce stress and improve cognitive performance. Ambient sound enhances creative cognition at moderate levels. White noise helps block distracting sounds and improves concentration. Studies published in Nature, Journal of Consumer Research, and Scientific Reports confirm what our users already know — the right sound environment makes studying, working, and sleeping dramatically easier. Recommended for students, remote workers, people with ADHD, and anyone who needs to concentrate in noisy environments.

Study Ambience works as a white noise app, rain sounds app, nature sounds app, sleep sounds app, lo-fi music companion, study music player, ambient music app, and focus sounds app — all in one. Whether you are looking for study sounds, sleep sounds, relaxing sounds, or concentration music, Study Ambience has you covered.

Available soundscapes:

Spaces: Old Library, Cozy Cafe, Comfy Backyard, Study Room, Vintage Train, Cozy Nook, Cozy Christmas
Forest: Autumn Forest, Rainforest, Forest at Night, Peaceful Forest, Winter Forest
Rain: Perfect Storm, Thunderstorm, A Rainy Day, Rain on Window, Rainy Cafe
Fire: Fireplace, Campfire in Forest, Peaceful Fire, Campfire Near Beach, Campfire Near Lake, Campfire on Mountain
Water: Cabin Near Lake, Lake at Night, River Near Forest, Calm Ocean, Peaceful Waterfall, Quiet Swamp

Study with the sound of a crackling fireplace on a winter night. Focus with gentle rain tapping against a window. Read with the quiet hum of an old library. Sleep with the distant waves of a calm ocean. Whatever environment helps your mind settle, Study Ambience puts you there instantly.

Works completely offline. Most soundscapes are available without an internet connection, so your data stays safe and the app works anywhere — in the library, on public transport, in a café, or in a noisy home.

Study Ambience is updated regularly with new soundscapes and features based on your suggestions.

EDIT: They have commercialized the app and blocked many sounds with payment. I am genuinely so upset because this was definitely one of my favorite apps for many years. onto something else, I guess. original review: Literally such a nice app with good built in music and sounds. I use it all the time when I study or need sounds to sleep. The few ads it has are minimal and don't affect usage.

I really love this app. I ran across a blogger months ago who mentioned she uses this as background noise while she writes. I checked it out and realized this is what I've been missing in my life! It's great to use while writing or prepping lesson plans or anything else where I just need some background noise that won't distract me like music can. I highly recommend it! I personally use the Old Library sounds the most!

I could not love this app more! I got a metric ton of HW done because it kept me focused. You can change the level of background noise, as well as add several instrumentals. I like that it gives a beautiful picture to match the ambient noises, which make me feel present and gives a momentary shot of endorphins so my ADHD stays on track. My physics grade thanks you!
