What's New in Black Noise

This update is a must! Version 3.0 now features a much smoother, seamless audio loop. We’ve also added a brand-new sound: Planetary Rain Shelter. Also, you now have the option to set the sleep timer up to 8 hours. Plus, minor design improvements have been made to enhance the experience on the latest version of iOS.

Return to the 12 hours timer

Used to love this app and have been using it for over 5 years. You used to be able to put the timer on for up to 12 hours now it’s only up to 8 hours. Don’t know who decided that would be a great idea—it’s not. It sucks! I’m not a fan of the recent update because now my sleep is interrupted just to readjust the timer, that’s the only reason I’m writing this review to express my disappointment.

Almost perfect

Great sounds but there is a break in the loop. I’m an audio engineer and producer so it’s frustrating to hear something that is such an easy fix. Please update or send me the stems so I can fix it for you.

Ty.Lu, Thank you for the feedback. I’m happy to let you know that a new update has just been released with a noticeably smoother experience. The subtle interruption between loops has been completely removed — the app now supports up to 8 hours of truly seamless audio. Let me know your thoughts once you try it! Thanks again!

Good but could be better

Not many black noise apps around so it’s definitely worth it. few gripes; randomly stopping and starting after a few minutes even if it’s set to 24 hr, could be louder, would be nice if it could play at the same time as other apps such as Spotify

Love the sounds

I love falling asleep to this app, the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because of the stall when it loops on a long play timer. There’s a gap in the playback when it loops around.
Otherwise it’s great.

Goes silent every ten minutes

Perfect sleeping sounds if they didn’t go dead silent every ten minutes, waking me up.
