In the quest to perfect our newly crafted soundscape, our team embarked on a rather unique journey of collaboration and wisdom-seeking. We consulted with a diverse group of spiritual and cultural advisors to infuse deeper tranquility into the Earplug experience.
First, we journeyed to a remote village to sit with shamans known for their profound connection with nature's rhythms. They taught us about the sacred sounds that soothe the soul, and their knowledge helped us tune our white and pink noise to resonate more deeply.
Next, we spent time in a monastery, learning from a Buddhist monk who had mastered the art of meditation. He showed us how even the subtlest sound frequencies can influence the mind's ability to find peace. His insights were invaluable in refining our sound to facilitate deeper meditation and relaxation.
Finally, we sought the counsel of several wise elders from various cultures, each renowned for their deep understanding of life's nuances. They shared ancient wisdom about the sounds that have traditionally been used to heal and calm the human spirit. With their guidance, we crafted a soundscape that not only masks disruptive noises but also promotes a profound inner calm.
The result? A soundscape with an intention so subtly enhanced that while a spectrum analyzer shows no difference, the effect on your mind and body is unmistakably more soothing and calming. This holistic approach, blending advanced technology with ancient wisdom, has created an experience that deeply resonates with all who use it.

Four scientists wearing lab coats and spectacles went through the entire app, starting at the top left corner. The audit was worth it! They found seven bolts that needed tightening and four extra holes. All fixed and good as new and ready to go... to sleep.

EARPLUG SOUND
Earplug Sound is our proudest creation: it's a rarefied blend of pink and white noise looped and spun like silk; Earplug’s Sound pairs up perfectly with almost any source of environmental noise, helping to lessen its impact and free your mind.
DISTRACTION-FREE APP
When you need Earplug most, you're either half-asleep or you want to be. You don't want to fiddle. You want the app that was created by experts in audio and user interface to guide your experience. Earplug has no options, no popups and no nags... Ever!
We made Earplug because we're like you. We love sleep-sound apps but never found what we were searching for, so we built our own: Earplug. It's distraction-free in its sound, design and stability, and it's quality from beginning to end.

Even though I prefer brown noise or green noise over white or pink, I end up choosing this app every single time when I want to get back to sleep in the early morning, for the simple fact that all I need to do is put on my headphones and open the app. No searching, no fiddling around, no accidentally waking myself up too much by using my screen and brain for too long. Thank you!
Works great for me
I have several sleep aid apps, some of which seem to have hundreds of options. This app has one option, and it works great for me. I use it every night.
Developer Response
Thank you, you get it. Enjoy!
Sleep timer?
I love the sound and simplicity but would appreciate turning the app off after I’m unconscious.. would it be possible to add a really simple sleep timer to this great app? Thanks for your consideration.
Developer Response
Hey there, thanks so much for the review. We've considered adding dozens of features including a choice of sound, timers, display options, and adding an About Box and a "Review Me" alert. We are a team of engineers and we LOVE building stuff! However, with Earplug, we have to stay true to our first, minimalist principles. It's always on when it's running and you force quit to kill it (or pause it). Sorry we cannot acommodate your request: we appreciate you, we hope you'll undertand, and hope you'll consider upgrading your review to 5 stars! Thank you for loving Earplug.
