How to Use It

  1. Pick a sound.
  2. Press Play and set the volume.
  3. Adjust Softness to make the sound warmer and less hissy.

  5. Download a track of the length you want, as MP3 or WAV.

White, Pink or Brown?

  • White noise: Equal energy at every frequency – a bright "shhh", like TV static. Best at masking voices and sudden sounds.
  • Pink noise: Softer high frequencies – like steady rain. Many people find it the most pleasant for sleep.
  • Brown noise: Deep and rumbling – like a waterfall or strong wind. Popular for focus and for people who find white noise harsh.
  • Rain, Ocean, Wind and Fan: Natural-sounding textures for those who prefer something familiar.

Why Noise Helps

A constant sound covers sudden noises – traffic, a barking dog, a neighbour's TV – that would otherwise wake you or break your concentration. Your brain gets used to the steady sound and stops noticing it, while the disturbing noises stand out less.

Tips

  • Keep the volume moderate – about as loud as a quiet shower.
  • For babies, place the speaker well away from the cot and keep the volume low.
  • Use a sleep timer if continuous sound all night bothers you.
  • Download a long MP3 for travel, flights and hotel rooms without internet.

Free and Endless

The sound is generated live in your browser, so it never repeats or loops audibly, and nothing is uploaded or tracked. For relaxation with brainwave tones, try the Binaural Beats Generator.
