White Noise

White Noise Lite is an excellent utility app that plays relaxing sounds. White Noise App can be used on your Android portable phone or notepad. You can find a wide range of pretty standard sounds in the free version, like water flowing, crickets, chimes, and an oscillating fan.

What is White Noise App?

This app has more than 40 high-definition, royalty-free sounds for people to mix and match to make the perfect white noise. There are few free options, but White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds offers either a week-long trial or a two-week trial, so you can sample it and decide whether or not you want to buy the rest. The free version will play sounds for 8 hours, with the last sounds the individual played starting whenever the app is restarted.   

Sleepcasts category is designed to help you sleep using guided visuals, but Deep Sleep Sounds white noise offers an option to disable the narration and just listen to the ambient noise. This might seem surprising, but many people who struggle with getting a good nights sleep make use of a white noise generator to help them sleep. If your child is susceptible to being waken by even the smallest amount of noise, then the introduction of white noise can help him or her to get more shut-eye, even if other sounds are playing.    

If you are a light sleeper, you might find even the slightest noise will wake you and disturb your sleep. When we hear that sound, we usually want to shut it down ASAP, as it can get pretty loud. I guess you could use this to block out some of the ambient noise outside, but it is something that is going to do better at relaxing than a noise masher, if you are getting a lot of noise to handle.   

Features of White Noise App

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends using a white noise machine set to no louder than 50 decibels (about the sound level of a quiet dishwasher), so you are going to want to position it well away from your babys crib, use the lowest volume setting, and turn it off as soon as your baby is falling asleep, if you can. That sounds like a lot, and if a white noise machine can help to make sure baby (and you) are happy and well-rested, it is an excellent investment.   

Prons of White Noise App

There are several different reasons, but one main reason that I usually make is that a good white noise machine needs to have better quality speakers, higher max volumes, and better overall noise blocking compared to your average smartphone speaker. Otherwise, I think Echos speaker quality is pretty good on the whole, and you can find a really wide variety of free white noise and nature sounds to play with it.   

Software developer Todd Moore recommended a few new, user-generated sounds to try out at White Noise Market, including this audio of water flowing over Hans Mur Water Sculpture, Colorado Steam Train, and his personal sleep favourite, the rain sounds from tents created by small-time audio engineers. 

His now-famous White Noise app now allows users to upload sounds from their lives and travels, share them on the White Noise Market, and make perfect loops out of those sound clips, which are continuous and seamless, so they are much more likely to help people sleep or focus better than an uncut audio loop.
