About this app

Ambience is a sound mixer for relaxation, sleep, and focus. Mix over 170 high-quality nature sounds, ASMR sounds, binaural beats, and relaxing music to create your ideal ambient sound for any mood. Experience immersive 8D audio mode or upload your own custom sounds to mix them with our extensive sound library!

Ideal as a daily sleep aid, for power naps, meditation, deep focus while working or studying, reading, or finding relief from anxiety, insomnia, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).

With a simple, easy-to-use interface, Ambience lets you adjust the volume of each track individually to build your perfect background noise. Keep it running in the background while you listen to audiobooks, podcasts, or browse other apps without interruption.

Set the sleep timer, turn off your screen, and let the sounds fade out gently as you drift off stress-free.

Contains approximately 170 high-quality relaxing sounds (all free) in 15 categories:

Rain Sounds (morning rain, thunder, rainforest, urban rain)
Ocean Sounds (waves, seagulls, dolphins, whale)
Water Sounds (waterfall, river, creek, water drops)
Night Sounds (crickets, owls, wolves, frogs)

*** Benefits for sleep & insomnia ***
Struggling to fall asleep fast? Ambience acts as an effective natural sleep aid by masking disturbing noise like snoring, barking dogs, street traffic, or noisy neighbors. By blocking out external noise, it helps you fall asleep faster, enjoy deeper rest, and wake up refreshed, saying goodbye to insomnia.

*** Benefits for focus & study ***
Hard to concentrate while working or studying? Using white noise and nature sounds as background noise helps mask environmental distractions, boosting your mental focus, productivity, and reading retention.

*** Benefits for meditation & stress relief ***
Use these calming sounds for yoga, mindfulness, or deep relaxation. Natural soundscapes relieve daily stress, lower anxiety levels, and help restore your inner peace after a hectic day.

*** Benefits for tinnitus relief ***
If you suffer from tinnitus, Ambience provides instant relief by masking annoying frequencies with customizable relaxing background noise.

*** What are ASMR and 8D sounds? ***
• ASMR Sounds: gentle auditory triggers (like soft tapping or whispers) that create a soothing tingling sensation, promoting deep relaxation and drowsiness.
• 8D Audio: a spatial sound effect where audio gently moves around your head in a circle, creating a deeply immersive and calming 3D atmosphere (headphones recommended).

Love falling to sleep with this app. It allows 3 sounds at once if one isn't enough for you and there are a LOT of categories to choose from. My only complaint is that, after this last update, it will randomly shut off, forcing me to have to start it up again. This reason alone is why I didn't give it 5 stars. Fix this issue and I will gladly bump it up to 5 stars.

Good sounds, no looping (that I've noticed), and an easy interface. You can adjust the relative volumes for each sound, too. The "sailboat" sound is one of my faves! Edit: Even now, 7 years later, this is still one of my favourite apps for ambience. Indispensable for falling to sleep. And the fact that you can blend any of your own music files with these sounds (with separate volume controls for everything) is the icing on the cake! Recommended!

Tried replacing but cannot find better. Would give 5 stars but I don't like how fast and repetitive some sounds like crickets, cicadas, frogs, and birds are. Otherwise, you only get ads when you try playing more than 2 or 3 songs or switch them a bunch when the app probably guesses you're not skein sleeping yet so that's nice. You can unlock an extra sound by watching an ad and there aren't many if any items you have to buy. At least I can't think of any.
