Scientifically designed sound masking and relaxation soundscapes with 200+ generators, each with custom equalizer controls per frequency band.
myNoise generates adjustable background soundscapes for focus, relaxation and sleep. Each soundscape, such as distant thunder or a Japanese garden, comes with a set of sliders for different frequency bands, so you can shape the sound to your room, your headphones and your hearing.
Many soundscapes are free to play, and a donation unlocks lifetime access to the whole site, according to the site. Apps for iOS and Android are available. It is popular for studying, working in noisy offices, masking tinnitus and helping people sleep, and the sliders are what make it more flexible than a fixed audio loop.
Why it is useful
MyNoise's frequency-band customization goes far beyond simple volume control — you can adjust individual frequency components to match your hearing profile or environmental noise. The Brown Noise and Cafe Restaurant generators are particularly effective for masking office distractions.
