About this app

Recommended as a miracle for better sleep! Find out why the world is sleeping better with White Noise. Features ambient sounds of the environment to help you relax during the day and sleep great at night.

Do you have trouble going to sleep? Are you traveling on a plane and need a quick power nap? Does your newborn baby wake up in the middle of the night? There are numerous benefits to using White Noise:

• Helps you sleep by blocking distractions
• Relaxes and reduces stress
• Pacifies fussy and crying babies
• Increases focus while enhancing privacy
• Soothes headaches and migraines
• Masks tinnitus (ringing of the ears)

Even when you’re asleep, your brain is constantly scanning and listening for sounds. If it’s too quiet, unwanted noises such as faucet drips or police sirens can interrupt your sleep. White Noise generates sounds over a wide range of frequencies, masking those noise interruptions, so you can not only fall asleep, but stay asleep.

SOUND CATALOG

40 sounds are included as part of the application (no downloading required unless you want more) including all the color noises (brown, white, pink, etc), mechanical sounds like a bedroom fan or air conditioner, light to heavy rains, rushing water sounds, beach and ocean waves, and so much more. For the entire list of sounds please visit our website. No streaming is required for playback.

Have been using this app for years w/o issue and loved it. With the latest update the sound from each ear (I use a lot with earbuds) fluctuates up and down and from left to right. I use this app to help me stay focused when reading etc. and this new change drives me crazy! More distracting than anything. Looked for a way to disable this in settings and cannot find anything. Very frustrating!

Alarm periodically craps out. I've used this for years, BUT I do have to use a back-up alarm. Periodically, the white noise will turn off in the middle of the night for no reason, and once in a while the alarms won't work...until you wake up, pick up the phone to figure out how you managed to oversleep....and THEN the alarm will ecide to go off. The white noise is great, but don't trust the alarm settings

I love this app but it also infuriates me as it will randomly sometimes stop playing in the middle of the night, which wakes me up. I thought it may be that some notifications (despite being silent and the phone being on do not disturb) are interrupting the sound. My phone (pixel 5) will show a silent 'white noise is warming up' notification at the same time as something from another app. I turn these other notifications off each time I find one but haven't solved the problem. Any advice?
