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.

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.
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.

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.

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. 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.
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.
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.

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!
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?

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. 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.
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! 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
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
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!
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!
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

Hi, could you enroll in the free beta and I'll push an update for some devices soon 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.
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.
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.

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. 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.

Please give ve1.2 a try. It fixes batteries issues. 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
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.
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!
myNoise BVBA March 23, 2017
Please try setting the CPU mode to High in the More options. 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.
myNoise BVBA April 10, 2017
Though there are problems still - and we do our very best to get them solved - keep in mind this app is playing 10 audio streams at once... I LOVE the website and I'm very excited to see it finally on Android. Super helpful because I have tinnitus and cannot sleep without white noise. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into the site! I plan on donating as soon as I can.
I love this app. The generators are perfect for helping me fall asleep, but recently it's been crashing when my phone locks or just randomly stops playing after a couple of minutes. :(
Absolutely love the app have it on my iPod and paid the $10 for the full version. So excited to see it on my android. But was wondering if the purchase is transferable or do I have to pay for it again.
myNoise BVBA March 9, 2017
Not transferable, sorry. That is we keep the prices as low as possible ($10 for 150 generators, and more to come) and don't ask for monthly fee/subscription. I've used several noise generator/background noise apps and this one is this one is the best by far. The app and website are supported by donations. I normally refuse to pay for apps and I still don't donate to this one, because I have a crappy job and can't afford to, but I honestly wish I could, these guys definitely deserve it. A lot of people seem to be reporting problems with battery drain but I haven't had that problem at all. My phone has a pretty large battery (Droid turbo 2) so Idk if that's the reason but, whatever the reason, I haven't noticed a bit of difference in my battery life.
myNoise BVBA May 6, 2017
Thanks for your positive review! That's support too! The battery issue is affecting a restricted number of models now. And we keep investigating the issue. Many people only write a review when they have a problem with the batteries. It's nice to once read the other way round ;-) I have a lot of attention span issues and can let myself get restless or stressed out really easily at work, so I just pop in my headphones and plug this in and it really goes help a lot. Bonus; I use some of the generators in my D&D sessions with my friends! The app isn't perfect and has some glitches, but the generators (and their customization options) are amazing which makes it worth it! I downloaded a few extra generators at first for $1 and then just threw in $10 for the whole library once I realized it would be worth it, as I like so many of the generators - I've downloaded an extra 30!
myNoise BVBA April 2, 2017
Hi, could you join the beta? We're going to release a tentative fix for this. Do you use timers? Was the app playing sound during those 5 hours?
Could you check in More that the Cpu mode is 'NORMAL' as well?
Sorry! The interface feels a little clunky (I came from using Noizio on an iPhone), but otherwise this is a great app, especially since they fixed the battery issue. I use it to help sleep through noisy nights and in conjunction with some music to help concentrate.
Thank the heavens! Finally this app comes to Android. I've used this for everything - studying, sleep, anxiety relief you name it. I've been jealous of my girlfriend who has the iOS app and finally I can use it in the app!
Amazing app. I bought the package to unlock all the sounds and love the variety. Did an amazing fix on battery drain issue and now has a really slow drain rate. Highly recommended!
myNoise BVBA March 10, 2017
Thanks :) I love the website and have donated before. I love the app even more because of the streamlined animate feature. Plus, $10 for all generators current and not yet made is honestly a steal! Love the company, love the app. Hope their other sites like NoisesOnline and Calmyleon get apps too!
myNoise BVBA June 6, 2017
Thanks Christine. It's refreshing to read, when other reviewers complain about the prohibitive pricing of the full package, and give one star. We will keep improving the myNoise android app first, before releasing new apps. I switched from ios recently, and i loved that version, but now the binaural generator makes weird clipping noises. I would LOVE if this could be fixed, but as it is, it's costing 2 stars on this review. I still love the rain generator
I adore this app and everything it does!!! I've been using the regular website for a while and counter happier with this app, tho Is there a way to combine or play the sounds at the same time? I've always loved using The cat purring, rain, and fire at the same time! Makes me feel nice and cozy
Nicely designed app but it keeps draining the battery even after i stop using it. Despite using just 10 minutes or so in the morning, it had consumed 14% of my charge. Uninstalled.
