Why ambient sounds help you focus and sleep
Steady natural sounds such as rain, waves or a fireplace mask sudden noises like traffic, voices or a slamming door. Because they are predictable, your brain quickly learns to ignore them, which makes it easier to concentrate or fall asleep.
White, pink and brown noise are "colors" of noise. White noise contains every frequency at equal power and sounds like a hiss. Pink noise is softer, like steady rain. Brown noise is deeper still, like a distant waterfall or the rumble inside a plane, and many people find it the most relaxing for focus.
Every sound here is generated live in your browser, so it never loops with an obvious gap and uses very little data. Your mix is remembered for your next visit.
Frequently asked questions
Are these sounds free?
Yes. The mixer is free to use with no account, as often and as long as you like.
Can I play the sounds together with music?

Which sound is best for studying?
Many people like brown noise or rain for studying, and pink noise or ocean waves for sleep. Try a few and keep what feels calm to you.
Do the sounds use a lot of data?
No. The sounds are created in your browser, so nothing is downloaded while they play.
Why can’t I hear anything on my iPhone?
Check your volume and the silent switch, then tap the play button again. On iPhone, sounds may pause when the screen locks.
