Pick a sound, press play, and it loops until you stop it or the timer does. White Noise: Sleep Sounds is 18 steady loops, from rain and a running fan to waves, a campfire and a ticking clock, each on its own full-screen page with a timer from five minutes to eight hours.
No sign-up, nothing to load, no setup. Every sound is built into the app and plays offline, on a plane or in a cabin with no signal.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE WHITE NOISE: SLEEP SOUNDS
• 18 sounds: Rain, Thunderstorm, River, Waterfall, Beach, Shower, Cave Water, Bamboo Water Fountain, Fan, Clock Ticking, Train, Campfire, Fireplace, Lava Flow, Arctic, Birds Chirping, Space and Celestial.
• Seamless loops: the sound you choose repeats until you tap pause or the timer ends, with no gap and no restart.
• Timer: Off, 5 to 30 minutes in steps of five, 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours, or «Custom» with any hours and minutes; the countdown sits in the corner of the picture.
• Keeps playing with the screen locked: put the phone face down and the rain carries on.
• One picture, one button: each sound page is a full-screen photo with a single play button, nothing to hunt for in the dark.
• Search: type a few letters and the list narrows to the sound you want.
• Light and dark themes, 73 interface languages.
WHY ONE STEADY SOUND HELPS
• A sudden noise wakes you; a constant one does not. A loop raises the floor of the room, so the door, the car outside and the neighbor's TV stop standing out.
• The same sound every night becomes a cue. After a week, pressing play is already part of falling asleep.
• For work, a sound with no words and no melody gives your attention nothing to follow, which is exactly the point.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Tap a sound in the list.
2. Tap the clock icon and pick a timer, or leave it off for all night.
3. Press play, lock the phone, and let the sound run.
PERFECT FOR
• Bedtime: Rain, Waterfall, Cave Water and River mask the creaks and traffic that keep you awake.
• Babies and naps: Shower, Fan and Train are steady, even sounds that settle little ones.
• Work and study: Fan, Clock Ticking and Space give your brain one calm backdrop instead of an open office.
• Unwinding: Beach, Campfire and Fireplace for the half hour before bed, or a long bath.
• Travel: Arctic and Train on a plane, a bus or in a hotel room with thin walls.
GOOD TO KNOW
One sound plays at a time, and going back to the list stops it. The timer stops the sound at zero, cleanly. Articles under «Useful Content» open online; everything else works offline. The app does one thing: it makes the room sound the same all night, and leaves the rest to you.
TIPS
• Set the timer a little longer than it takes you to fall asleep; 30 minutes suits most people, 1 hour if you read first.
• For a baby, steady sounds beat rich ones: Shower and Fan have no birds, no thunder, nothing that changes.
• Lower the phone volume rather than choosing a quieter sound; a loop you can barely hear still covers sudden noises.
• Traveling? Download nothing, the whole library is already in the app.
