Ngl, it pisses me off that number 4 on the Top 10,000 list is "Clean Baby Sleep White Noise (Loopable)"
Most people still don’t know that their phones most likely already has a noise generator build in without any extra app (at least on iOS)
Which app is that? (I have an iPhone)
It’s in the accessibility settings. You can just search your phone for Background Sounds.
You can then also add it as a button to control center. Or create a shortcut if you want to have it on your Lockscreen or Home Screen.
Neat! Thanks!
Doesn't exist on Android but highly recommend Atmosphere
One time cost and you can make your own "scene". You want owls hooting near a stream with cars whizzing by, and a vacuum in the other room? You got it!
There was an app called Taomix on Android, where you could add sounds on the screen around a marker and the volume of the sounds would vary according to the distance between sound and the marker.
Like you could place a windchime near the marker and birds chirping or a river stream sound a little further away. You could always have new combinations, so that sounds weren't repetitive.
You could then swipe the marker with a push and it would bounce around the screen creating a dynamic sound like passing through a stream or birds singing on your walk.
Then it got bought out by a company and they made a new version with sounds as an in-app purchase, while the previous app was a single purchase.
Then I stopped using it.
Cool people made cool thing! -> awful people made cool thing awful
Idk exactly what comes next for us nor when, but for fuck's sake WHATEVER we do next has gotta get rid of this goddamn shit.
You can probably download the old version, either from one of those apk mirror sites, or use the Aurora store app to get it direct from the Play store (but you need to know the version code).
If it makes you feel any better noise is hard to compress so it costs Spotify more I imagine
How long can whitenoise go before it repeats? Or vice versa, how short?
If it's only 5seconds it can be played alot..
