As requested in a pop-up message on this app, I am reconfirming my rating above and what I wrote in the following sentences. I work at home, so I use this app to block out household noises and the conversations that tend to be distractions. It is also a sleep aid, especially since I am an early-to-bed kind of guy, and my wife tends to be a night owl. I used to use an app called Simply Noise, but it was not updated to fit the most recent iOS versions. I'm using White Noise Pro, which is much more diverse than Simply Noise and allows an ad-free experience. The developers have combined photos and sound to provide a very pleasing experience. There is a version for Mac, which I also use with satisfaction. A great app.
The ads in the marketplace are shown between every download. And I paid for it. Not ok.
Thinder is it!!
This app used to come with free downloadable sounds. Now the want to nickel and dime you or get you to subscribe. Just another money grubbing company.
I am trying to figure out how to upload sounds I recorded, there is no way that I can find to do it on app or website, and also no way to contact via email for help??
Finally, no playlist limits. This is a wonderful update.
no negatives here, create your own mind distraction, this is the best on the markets i have seen, tried alot of em, and well they really were crappy
I love this app. I have used it for years for myself to help block out noise while I sleep during the day after working night shifts. I also now use it for my son. So many options and just the best sound quality and seamless loops. I recommend it to everyone with a baby on the way.
If you want a little movement in the pictures. This is not for you. One still picture per sound. I was looking for a replacement for YouTube ambiance videos. This is not it. The timer is a nice feature though.
This is an almost perfect white noise app. It is the only one that has a built-in sound recorder, which is my favorite feature. I wish it was able to record for more than 59 seconds, but it is still worth the download!
If you have a hard time finding a truly quiet, distraction-free place to study, this app (with a set of noise-cancelling earbuds) can be a great help. There are many easy-to-ignore ambient sound loops that will help to mask any otherwise distracting sounds. It is also great for sleeping if you get distracted by creaks, footsteps, and conversations around the house. Very valuable escape in our sound-addled world.
It’s really been a amazing experience listening to the sounds in hd compared to the original and lite. You won’t regret it I promise
Great UI. Fantastuc customizabiluty and options you would have never thought of. It is just the perfect sound machine. I also love the market place where you can share and discover nearly limetless amounts of sounds for whatever tickles your fancy. Keep up the great work and support you’ve shown over the years TM Soft!
For years I depended on my Brookstone sound machine. However I started traveling for a living and needed to leave it at home. This app makes every hotel room a room I can sleep in regardless of external noises. My brain hears my favorite consistent sleep sounds (that I was able to mix with the purchase app) and I sleep well. I upgraded and it’s worth every penny.
I note that many software authors have created a sleep sound program such as this one. Certainly I haven’t tried them all, but if you have this one, you don’t need to try any of the others.
Very good. Yes
Needs Dolby Atmos support for Apple TV
They also have 2 other apps that pretty much do the same thing. 1 is just to search for sounds and download them I think, but I am not at all sure. This company needs to get their act together. I feel used by them. Do not waste your time with these apps. They are to complicated and do not have good information on how to use them.
Love app. Just wish I could have is auto launch using apple shortcuts and automation. Instead have to rely on a script which still takes user interaction. Bummer
Love this app..i have used it for many years...
Awesome app it’s the best, the sounds are beautiful, I love that we can download sounds, I absolutely love the create mix feature. I do wish however, that you could put six or eight sounds instead of five for creating a mix and I wish we could do 200 sounds or even 150 sounds instead of 100. I love absolutely love to create mixes since I’m blind and can’t see it’s just my thing I love to create mixes and hate to delete the mix because I love them all. This is the best app ever, keep up the good work. Thank you so much.
With the Noise Market app beside this one, TMSOFT can beat any white noise app out there!
I really cannot recommend this app enough. There is a surprisingly active and very friendly online community of ambient noise enthusiasts, and this app is a great way to begin introducing yourself to the science behind white noise and it’s impact on our brains. On nights when I have trouble sleeping, I will mess around with the mixing pad and try to create new moods and settings until I create something that zonks me out. Additionally, the ability to play audio from the app concurrently with other audio sources (even down it giving the app an independent volume slider) means I can combine ambient sounds with all of the different audiobooks I listen to. For example, I recently paired an audiobook about the Korean War with a mix of mountain, snow, and wind sounds. I could go on about the different smaller features I like but I hope you’ll see for yourself!
White Noise Pro If there is a difference between the Lite and Pro apps. I can’t find it. Save your money until there are additional features. My doctor has prescribed a med with interrupted sleep as a side effect. I downloaded White Noise to help “lullaby” me back to sleep in the middle of the night. It plays through my Bluetooth enabled hearing aids. It helps some, certainly better than silence. White noise offers a considerable selection of satisfactory sounds and the option of creating a playlist to vary them. I found it worth encouraging the developer with a paid upgrade of less than a dollar. It’s worth that. The app does have it’s issues: The option menus are not very intuitive, and they are confusing There are a few “tips” but no manual or help function The upgrade wipes all the playlist, mix creations, and manually recorded sounds. It leaves the old Lite app in place with a different colored icon. It’s just odd and awkward. I don’t resent spending the dollar, but I can’t see that it buys anything really The volume of the sounds vary a lot perceptually from one another. It’s just about impossible to create a playlist that does not have jarring volume changes. The app really needs the ability to adjust the volume of playlist entries individually. There is a shuffle function that reorders the playlist but no capacity for creating a specific desired order by moving items up or down manually.
This app really helps with my misophonia BIG time! Also helps me to fall asleep when we’re camping without electricity. Not sure what I would do without it.
Love this, I like experimenting with ambient environments. Oh, was wondering if there is a way to rename a mix? For example from the names of the sounds listed to a name like “Smooth campsite” for example.
This is useful for masking noises near me, and selecting a mix, as in “mix with music”. However, the aforementioned setting option is not working! I have a Bluetooth speaker that lags unless it’s in AUX mode or sounds in the app mixes. It either complies or doesn’t whether I prefer something or not! The sooner the app is updated to fix that glitch, the better!
I’ve been using the pro version of this app for years and wouldn’t dream of using anything else
Helps me sleep at night!!
App offers so many options: I’ve made mixes for my mood - and lately - level of anxiety. Campfire, tent rain or train, airplane and so on. I fall to sleep with it every night. Can’t recommend it enough.
I have used this app for along time. I have paid for the App and recently found that sounds I already have downloaded will not backup to ITunes. I am requested to purchase the sound again in iTunes. On top of that there are continual messages coming up on the App that the App isn’t appropriate for iPad. This App has turned into a scam.
It’s not quite what Ambience used to be before its developer abandoned it, but after a long time spent away from iOS this seems to be a suitable replacement. At least I’ve been able to find comparable sounds to those I used to enjoy in the aforementioned app. There are only two reasons I’m not giving this app five stars: 1) The market for other sounds is another app entirely, and 2) The interface seems like it could be improved upon, maybe made a little sleeker. But other than that I’m fairly happy with it.
I use White Noise both at work and home. It’s great for blocking ambient sound.
I like the new interface, but had to go find sounds that did not transfer with the new update.i esp
I've ALWAYS been a very light sleeper AND I have panic attacks so I tried the free version. I upgraded to the Pro version soon after. I use this app every night and during the day to relax or unwind. I enjoy being woken up slowly by different sounds and there's so many different options available to combine sounds - especially with Pro. I highly recommend this app.

I’ve had this app for years. This one is the best!
I can’t sleep without this app
This app is a must for anybody who has trouble sleeping at night. With so many sound options, you are sure to find one that will help you relax and fall asleep. Try the free version first but the pro version is money well spent.
Favorite app for drowning out the world and a good nights sleep
I can’t fall asleep without it.
An essential technique for alleviating the nasty symptoms of tinnitus is “masking” the noise you hear by using white noise to cover it up. It’s especially helpful to find a sound on this app that sounds like your tinnitus sounds. By playing it a bit louder on your phone than what you hear in your ear, the sound seems to come from the environment and not your head. I use “Locusts in July” which cost me about $3 and has kept me sane on the nights my symptoms are bothersome and interfere with me sleeping. Truly my most important app.
This app has changed my life!! I have been having trouble with sleeping for a very long time. This app has helped immensely. I go to sleep and wake up with it everyday and I wake up feeling rested and I have more energy. I have heart and lung disease as well as Lupus and other autoimmune diseases. I tried everything short of sleeping pills and this is the only thing that helps.
Before finding White Noise Pro, I was using the free version of a competing app that operated on a subscription-based model. I wanted brown noise, though, and I wasn’t about to fork over $30 per year for it. Enter White Noise Pro. Now I can generate my own brown noise and clip the top end off of the frequency range if I want. The real killer feature here though is the ability to download tons of new sounds. By mixing Brown Noise with one I downloaded called Starship Drone and one of the various rains plus whatever relaxing music I’m in the mood for (Building Game Nightfall Piano is fabulous) on good headphones I can allllllmost completely drown out my boyfriend yelling at his Xbox friends while they kill things. I find myself not wanting to take the headphones off when they’re done playing, though, which may not be the best thing for our communication/relationship, but it’s doing amazing things for my stress level. I really wish it was possible to rename generated sounds and mixes. The issue with the mixes is you can’t control what sound comes first in the mix’s name, and if there are a couple of sounds in there with longish names you can’t see what’s in the mix without hitting the little i to see more info about it. The UI isn’t the snazziest one out there for apps of this type, (the mixer pad is excellent, however; really slick) and at times I find it mildly counterintuitive. I’m also not sure why a separate app is strictly necessary to be able to download additional sounds. Oh, I also really wish the alarm clock function had a “shake to snooze” feature. However, these quibbles aren’t even enough to justify knocking off one star because of the excellent value. Now, TMSOFT, could you find a way to make mixes work on the Alexa skill? And make the noise in the existing skill not time out after a max of 10 hours? Boyfriend and I sleep in sometimes overlapping shifts and 10 hours isn’t always enough to cover both of our “nights” so we’re using a competing product that doesn’t time out.
I couldn’t get through the night without it! Thank you!
No bugs inside the application, but a bug trying to open it. It still functions the same when your in the app, but when you open it after closing, it'll crash once or twice, and when it does open it takes about 30 seconds. Please fix this issue in the next update. Thank you
A lot of bugs, became stuck on Game of Black Jack, confusing array of options. If these were fixed, it would be a great app to use. Much potential.
Every sixty seconds, the “Light Rain Pouring” sound includes some sort of alert sound / bell. How does this not get noticed in a ten year old app whose sole job is to play soothing sounds?
