Upgrade to Marshmallow 6.0.1


Android Marshmallow 6.0.0 has problems when all sounds are unlocked. This is fixed in Marshmallow 6.0.1. If your device is on 6.0.0 and cannot upgrade to 6.0.1 it might be a good idea not to unlock all the sounds.

Fully Offline


Download once, listen whenever and where you like. All sounds are stored locally and there are no ads or other network requests.


Smooth Gapless Playback


Other ambient sound apps have annoying gaps or clicks when the player reaches the end of a track and loops back to the beginning. A Soft Murmur plays totally seamless and uninterrupted audio so it never interrupts your focus.


Background audio


A Soft Murmur will play sounds until you tell it to stop - listen while you browse the internet or listen to music.


Sounds


Mix together 10 ambient sounds:


• Rainfall
• Thunder
• Waves
• Gusting wind
• Crackling fireplace*
• Birdsong*
• Crickets*
• Coffee shop*
• Singing bowl*
• White noise*


* These six sounds are unlocked with a single in-app purchase


Meander


When you activate the Meander function, the app gently increases or decreases the volume of each active sound, creating gentle rolling waves of sound that are never the same twice.


Timers


Set A Soft Murmur to fade gently to silence to help you drift into sleep, or set a timer to start or stop playing after a custom length of time. Timers run in the background, even if you user other apps, and show the time left in the notification area. Use timers to transform A Soft Murmur into a versatile productivity app.


Mixes


Save your favorite mixes and give them names. Switch easily between them whenever you like.


Share


A Soft Murmur lets you share your mixes with friends using Facebook Messenger, Twitter, SMS and hundreds of other apps. If your friend has A Soft Murmur installed they can open your mix in the app. If they don't, they can listen to your mix online.

Ratings and reviews

It works ok for a free app. There is a couple of issues with it. One, the sounds are loops. After a while you can hear the beginning and end of each loop. This can be VERY disruptive but is only apparent after a long listening period. Two, and this is THE BIGGEST PROBLEM, the app cycles through each stereo channel AND THEN switches to the phone speakers while disconnecting from the output being used. This is bad, and defeats the whole purpose of the app. This was not a problem until recently.

Love the sounds, I usually choose the 'meander' option which makes it seem less canned than normal white noise. My only complaint is the app sounds tend to cut out for a second, usually several times in a row in the middle of the night which wakes me up. In fact, it's 3 in the morning and it's woken me up again by cutting out. I love the sounds but am going to have to find a different white noise option that doesn't wake me up with inconsistent audio.

Downloaded this app years ago, later got the full version and loved it since. This is my go to app for sleeping. If you need to have it fade out while you sleep you can. You can delay it to turn off. You can make it so different parts get louder and fade into other things. Rain,thunder,waves is my go to. 10/10 would recommend. Which I do all the time.
