What is it?
White Noise plays a steady, soothing sound that covers traffic, snoring or office chatter. Choose white, pink or brown noise, rain, a fan or the ocean, and set a sleep timer that fades it out.
Who is it for?
Light sleepers, parents settling babies, students studying in noisy homes or hostels, and office workers needing focus.
How to use it
- Choose a sound and tap Play.
- Set the Volume low and comfortable.
- Set a sleep timer if you want it to fade out.
Which sound?
- White: hissy; masks voices well.
- Pink: softer, like steady rain.
- Brown: deep rumble, like a waterfall; many find it best for sleep.
For babies
Keep it quiet (about the level of a shower) and the phone away from the cot.
Errors and how to fix them
- “This browser cannot make sound here. Try Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox”
- Stops when the screen locks: some phones pause browser audio in the background; keep the page open with the screen on and dimmed.
Questions people ask
- Does it use internet data? No; sounds are made live in your browser, not streamed.
- Can I set it to stop? Yes, with the sleep timer, which fades out gently.
Practical tip
Start the sound a few minutes before sleeping, at a low volume you can barely notice. Place the phone across the room rather than by your pillow, and keep it charging overnight.
