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.

I've used this for years....but the latest update now doesn't allow my actual alarm to sound. The settings are correct, as they've always been, to allow break in alarm sounds....but it's broken. 2 days of almost not waking up in time and thinking it was the alarm app, but it works fine when white noise isn't active, so, this is the culprit. C'mon guys ...pls fix this! I don't wanna find another app. 😭😭😭

This has been my go-to white noise app for years and I have recommended it to to numerous people. Unfortunately ever since the last update, the app will crash in the middle of the night and the sudden stoppage of sound often wakes me up. It seems to happen just about every night. And it doesn't seem like it's shutting down at the same time, sometimes it's two hours after I start it, other times I'll jolt awake at 3 or 4am to the sudden absence of sound. Please fix the constant crashes!!

I love this app and we use it every night when we sleep... but it crashes a LOT lately. Almost every night, I wake up at some point and the app has completely shut itself down no matter which device we use. It's still nice to have, but annoying to be woken in the night by abrupt silence and have to fumble with a phone when you're half asleep.
