Description
The idea behind a noise machine, is to make use of the noises you like to mask the noises you dislike. The concept is simple, works extremely well, and does not require expensive equipment, such as active noise cancelling headphones.
Background noises can be used in a variety of ways throughout your daily lives, and by all audiences. They can not only help you focus while working in a noisy environment, or help to settle your anxiety, but they are also useful in cases of insomnia or tinnitus. Fortunately, you don't need a specific reason to start listening to our noise generators! These are all sonic marvels that you will simply enjoy listening to; candy for your ears!
myNoise is free, with White Noise, Rain Noise, Binaural Beats, Spring Walk, Temple Bells and Warp Speed, the white noise machine for Sci-Fi fans!

I have loved this site for years and paid for full access long before the Android app was released because I wanted to support it... I'm greatly disappointed that you're trying to get more money out of the people that have been loyal to you for so long. I didn't expect to have to pay again for that. It looks like a great app but I'll just continue to listen from my computer rather than pay again for a product I've already purchased. This is a HUGE disappointment after waiting several years for an Android release.

This app would be so awesome, the best sounds app out there I think, if it weren't for the glitch where the sound just randomly stops playing. And starting it back up is sometimes complicated and I have to restart the app. Considered paying for more generators because they seriously are really amazing, but until the glitch is fix this app really doesn't help me for concentration or sleep because I have to keep coming back to the app.

I love the website and I'm so happy to see it available on mobile now. Hopeful that things like the Magic Generators will be available through the app at some point. I recommend everyone try this app out, and visit the mynoise website to try out some of the presets and settings other people have put together. The app is very convenient though, even though it doesn't have all the features of the website yet.

The app stays on in the background long after it has been paused, closed and the notification bar has disappeared, draining battery and preventing me from turning the ringvolume down. Also, the sound will stop randomly when turned on or when the sleep display is shown. If it didn't have these bugs I would give this app 5 stars! Please fix

I have had severe tinnitus in my left ear for 7 years, I have learned to cope with it but some days if my sinuses are acting up it is unbearable and I spend the day on the couch with this running on my pc. Glad it's now available for Android so I can use my earphones and take it with me. White noise and high frequency rain is what works for me.

I have been a supporter of the site for a few years now. It's a great, versatile tool with an excellent library of noises. I originally started using it to inspire my writing, since it increased my productivity more than listening to regular music did. Lately, it's also been helpful for coping with stress-induced anxiety and falling asleep. It's totally worth donating to unlock the special patron features. I hope people continue to support this tool along with me so it can stay around and help even more people. It's a good, nice thing.

I'm sorry you do not like the business model, but Android development costs money too. We are still trying to keep the site available on Android.

For me there is one major flaw. When I play the noise inside the app, there are no problems. But if I leave the app and the noise is playing in the background, the noise quality becomes terrible. It becomes staccato and patchy; it can't play consistently. If I return to the app, the noise plays fine again. If I turn the screen off from being inside the app, the noise is still fine. However if I turn the screen off, from being inside a different app with the noise playing in the background, the noise issues continue. Very strange. This issue doesn't make it impossible to use. It's just very annoying, especially when I've paid for one of the noises!

Sorry to see you are having issues, we are testing fixes in our open beta 1.5. You can enroll here https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mynoise.mynoise - thanks! Pros: The sounds are top notch- the best out there. Extremely immersive and customizable. Cons: Some of the sounds seem to have an occasional pop or crackle which kind of deters from the immersion, otherwise they're perfect. The app frequently puts itself into a bugged state where audio wont play, requiring a reload.
This app is great, but it still uses a ton of battery in the background. My battery was draining and I saw that this app was at the top of the list. I hope it gets fixed soon, because the sounds are super useful for concentration and getting work done! Yes, this even happens with the normal CPU setting and the most recent update.

Are you using version 1.2? Could you try again after going to More.. and scrolling to the bottom, select 'CPU Mode' and make sure you choose 'NORMAL CPU'.
The app will only use CPU when playing (20%), and if it's in the background and not playing, it should let the phone go to sleep and maybe use 0.5% max every 15 minutes. App is very buggy; doesn't close out when exited - I have to force close from program menu. I also paid for the full generator bundle, but it will not download them or give me access to them; I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Sent an email several days ago and haven't seen a reply yet. Am willing to adjust my rating if I can get either the generator bundle downloaded or a refund.

Sorry to see you are having issues, we are testing fixes in our open beta 1.5. You can enroll here https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mynoise.mynoise - thanks! I've tried 4 or 5 of these white noise Apps. This one is by far my favorite. Perfect for putting my baby to sleep. Also I love the ability to fully customize the sounds and the pre loaded sounds are very nice. Overlaying sounds might be a good feature, but I don't think I would use it, and the UI is a bit clunky, by you get used to it quickly. LOVE IT.
Been a fan of mynoise for years. Great app! Sonically crisp and well designed - would certainly recommend to all. Two things: 1. Heavy battery consumption. 2. I wish I had the option to combine/overlay sounds. Other than that, really glad to have this wonderful app on android! Thanks to the creators.
myNoise BVBA March 7, 2017
Are you running 1.2? This one has drastically reduced the battery consumption (depending the phone model - the problem with Android). Thanks for being a fan! This app is fantastic! Unsurprising, as I've been listening to this via the web at work for over a year now, and it's awesome as well. It's an app you might not use often, but awesome for work, flights, snoring husband (like myself, my wife also uses this app). You won't be sorry!
This is honestly my favorite app, but I'm experiencing crackling and popping sounds very frequently while using the app, most prominent with Warp Speed. Is there any sort of fix to this? I would definitely give this five stars if this were to be fixed. -posted from my Zte zmax pro

Sorry to see you are having issues, we are testing fixes in our open beta 1.5. You can enroll here https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mynoise.mynoise - thanks! I like that the type of noise is adjustable. However, it keeps randomly shutting down and freezing in the middle of the night which disturbs my sleeping patterns as well as my baby's. I will have to find another app that will continue to work overnight.
Out of all the apps that I have tried for soothing sounds, this is the best. I was suprised in a good way with the free sounds they had. There were a couple that wernt out yet that im looking forward to and im actually thinking about purchasing more sounds. Do yourself a favor and try this one.
I love this app. I am so happy with how it is and so happy there finally is one. However, is there a way to sign in? I have donated on the website and was wondering if we could have the benefits there as on the app. I would love to buy each one individually, but I just wanted to know if we can somehow sign in into our accounts and such.
myNoise BVBA March 7, 2017
The apps and website are independent. You will have to support the platform of your choice, but all platforms are favourably priced. May I advise not to purchase each one individually that would cost a lot of money... but purchase the full pack for $10... that's about 150 generators, plus all those yet to come! Overall I like the idea of the app and the sounds but the app itself is buggy. Frequently, it'll not respond, require restarting the app to get a sounds working, and some sounds just flat out didn't work, even on a fresh install. There's also an issue with battery drain; even when you're not using the app or have used it recently. Ultimately, that's what drove me to uninstall.

Have not used in a while by still uses more power than the screen. Other than that the app works as intended. Had to uninstall to get battery life back though

Sorry to see you are having issues, we are testing fixes in our open beta 1.5. You can enroll here https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mynoise.mynoise - thanks! I love this app and loved using the site before the app. It's the very best and most diverse I have found. My only issue is that I can't close the app on android 7. It stays on in my notification bar and I literally can't get rid of it. It's still there now despite stopping and closing the app hours ago.
Love the source material but the download tab is broken, when I tap nothing happens until I keep trying and then seemingly randomly it will begin downloading. Some sounds can't seem to download though at all, very frustrating! Please fix!
Perfect. Sound quality on headphones is phenomenal and much better than I thought it would be. My favorite thing about this app is being able to customize the sound for me. The looping skips a little sometimes until it gets going and when doing other things but other wise.. A+ guys
myNoise could be a great way to relax if it weren't for some glitches/bugs. First of all, the sounds stop playing randomly and I have to restart it. Second, (some?) sounds have clicks and pauses during playback. And finally, it still drains battery, even when no sound is playing and the app is closed. My phone went from 80% to 30% overnight. Had to restart it in order to prevent further drain.

I love the app actually, I use it every night and I bought the premium packs. BUT be warned there is a huge issue with battery drain that they haven't fixed in over a year. The app keeps your phone awake all day even when you're not using the app and sucks 25 percent!

Sorry to see you are having issues, we are testing fixes in our open beta 1.5. You can enroll here https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mynoise.mynoise - thanks! Breathtaking sound, inspiring effort, each generator a truly great, well-executed and inspired piece of high-quality art. You've always wanted to hear these things, you just didn't know you could until now.
I'm impressed by this app, really useful for RPG and many other occasions, yet I'm not going to buy the complete pack until it becomes possible to use all the bought sounds on different accounts (like Family Library here on GooglePlay, yet it doesn't share the addons bought after) maybe trough a in-app login or something similar, obviously only one app running at a time. I'll be very glad to support the author but this feature is required before I fork out money. P.S.: you could as well add an option to voluntarily open ads and unlock stuff after a set amount of visualizations. One other thing that will make me buy the full app is the option to chromecast it. Any hope?
myNoise BVBA March 15, 2017
Hi, sorry for this, we will look into options for family sharing further down the line. Regarding adware, this is a model we will not support as the ads are often too intrusive and negatively impact the app performance. Saved my productivity at work! We work in a loud coworking space with a lot of distractions and interesting musical choices on the speaker system. Combine this app with my noise-canceling earbuds and I'm finally productive again! I play variations on the same track for 6 hours at a time and it barely uses up my battery at all. Can crash when other sounds come on, but I think that's my older phone's fault, not the app. My only request would be to get the new sounds added to the downloadable library sooner, because I can't wait to get the Twin Peaks inspired track on my phone!
Unacceptable to sell "all you can hear" for £9.99 which I paid and not have a button to download all the sounds at once. I do not want to manually download one by one, so when you update the app to offer a "download all" option I will change to 5 stars. Developer responded that sounds are 1.5GB and "not an option for a mobile app". That should be MY decision, how I use the storage in my phone. The developer could easily just implement a function to check which sounds have already been downloaded and skip them, thus downloading only what isn't already in the device. 1 star remains until the developer listens to the needs of their user.
myNoise BVBA June 12, 2017
Thanks for the feedback Peter, the choice of having individual downloads is very conscious on our part as we add new generators every week! Stephane our sound engineer creates new sounds very often. Now we have about 132 generators to offer for download. That's about 1.5 gigabytes, which won't really be an option for a mobile app. Like the sounds but app stays awake indefinitely after pausing and becomes by far the top battery user across a day of not using the app. Refuse to have to remember to force stop the app after every use.

Sorry to see you are having issues, we are testing fixes in our open beta 1.5. You can enroll here https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mynoise.mynoise - thanks! Was looking forward to this for so so long. Your website is simply the best source of awesome ambient sounds. And now with the battery issues fixed, the app is pretty awesome too. I absolutely love the different scenes within every sound, and the animate feature is my personal favorite. I just wish there were more nature sounds available for free. Would love to hear some of my favorite tracks from the website in the app too.
myNoise BVBA March 4, 2017
Please give ve1.2 a try. It fixes batteries issues. I suffer from tinnitus so falling asleep with a gentle noise in the background really helps. I run this app on my tablet blutoothed to a JBL speaker that sits on my headboard while I sleep. Great high quality sound and the automation is just brilliant so that it doesn't get repetitive. Paid the 10 bucks for all the downloads and am extremely happy with the puchase. Will recommend to others.
Doesn't work in background, has no in-app volume control unless you manually move each individual slider. Web app is much better, sadly. I have a Nexus5X running 7.1.1

Sorry to see you are having issues, we are testing fixes in our open beta 1.5. You can enroll here https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mynoise.mynoise - thanks! See end of review for edit. Original review: I'm just incredibly disappointed to see everything interesting behind a paywall. I was so excited to see there was finally an app, and I expected it to be much the same as the computer version in terms of free selection. What I got was a handful of generic sounds and then everything else a dollar apiece. I'm not going to pay five dollars for one set of noises, over and over as I seek to listen to new things--and I shouldn't have to. I understand needing to fund the app, but there's got to be a better way. A lot of us have been here from the start, helping and hoping you'd succeed. I'm not sure this is the way to do it. Edit: the reply left by the devs has cleared things up for me, and I think ten dollars is very reasonable for unlimited access. Thank you for clarifying, and I'll be sure to take you up on the deal when I'm able.
myNoise BVBA September 24, 2017
On the app, you can get unlimited access for $10. The $1 a sound option only makes sense when you are interested in one single sound. $10 to unlock everything for a lifetime, is the lowest viable threshold given dev costs. Donations on the web are unable to cover for the app devs at the moment. Each platform tries to fund itself. The sounds are wonderful. The app has some issues. Foremost, it keeps running in the background, using CPU and hijacking the volume buttons so they adjust media volume instead of ringtone volume, even though no media is playing.

Problem is it drains the batteries. Haven't used it for 3 days. Was checking my battery and this was at the top of the list for energy use. Needs to shut off

Sorry to see you are having issues, we are testing fixes in our open beta 1.5. You can enroll here https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mynoise.mynoise - thanks! This version lacks basic features I'm used to from ios-- most importantly the ability to mix sounds w/ other apps! Right now, noises only work if you have the app open-- when app is background it doesn't stop playing, but "stutters," playing a second of the sound, then a moment of silence, etc. I layer this under audiobooks to fall asleep and since updating to my Pixel I've kept my old iPhone for falling asleep!! Wish I didn't have to!

It's simple and the sounds are great! I don't understand the "animate" feature since it doesn't seem to let you use all the sliders, but besides that it's very easy to use!
As a long-time supporter of the website, I immediately bought all sounds on this app. I need a download all button! Downloading one by one is painful.
Battery hog..? I wait to see how much it drains..I like the music tho but will wait before I give it more stars. I hate energy draining apps.

Sorry to see you are having issues, we are testing fixes in our open beta 1.5. You can enroll here https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mynoise.mynoise - thanks! The customisation, audio selection and general design of the app are brilliant. And the concept really builds on the idea of a simple noise-maker. In fact, I've enjoyed the sounds so much I've invested in the all-you-can-eat pack. It's one huge downfall is it can drain you battery, even when not in use or even open. For example, I haven't had the app open for a couple of days now, not even in my app drawer, and after having a look at what's been eating my battery today it's used 20% all on it's own according to Android's stats. The only workaround solution is the Force Stop each time you close the app to prevent it sapping any more battery in the background. If it can solve that problem, it's a real five-star app.
