## What is Hushr?

"It's kinda funny, every time our daughter (3 months) is uneasy, this sound calms her down in a matter of seconds. A few minutes later she's asleep!" - Emily S.

If your baby is crying and hard to calm down or it just needs some help falling asleep, white noise sounds can do wonders! Join thousands of other parents and try it out!

Babies love to hear steady sounds to calm down and fall asleep. In fact, newborns are used to high levels of noise from inside the womb. When your baby is anxious and cries, try turning on the hair dryer - chances are, your little darling will instantly calm down and feel better! Our son would stop crying the moment we turned the switch. It certainly was one of the best tips we were given by other parents.
Hushr comes with hair dryer, womb and vacuum cleaner sounds and many more. Try them out and see which one your child responds to best! Each sounds contains 2 alternatives - If your baby needs to sleep, use the soft, smoother sounds, if crying, you may boost to the louder, more intense variations.

Sound playback will still work when your iPhone is muted. No disturbances by ringtones or message sounds!

• Sounds have been captured with a high quality Neumann KM 184 stereo recording setup.
• 18 sound types, each with 2 sound variations (hair dryer at 2 settings etc.). 
• 2 lullabies from our children's music box app zZzBOX. Check it out!
• Add your own recordings inside the app or import recordings from Apple's memos app and play them with sleep timer in a loop.
• Different color schemes for light & dark mode.
• A sleep timer allows the app to turn off the sound automatically after the specified amount of time. If desired, Hushr will smoothly fade out the volume over the specified time period.
• Hushr has got the most flexible nightlight screen on the App Store. Use gestures to choose between colors, individually set the light's & the screens brightness & apply a color mask which provides a realistic light appearance. We've included a quick tutorial to get familiar with all functionality.
• Change the order of the sounds to your liking.
• Create your favorites list.
• Use swipe gestures & 3d touch to make full use of Hushr's functionality - you can even shake your iPhone to start or stop the playback!

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-10-16, version 2.9.6*

Thank you great app.

### 5/5 — The white noise works every time!

*2025-04-24, version 2.9.6*

Great app!

### 5/5 — Der tägliche Lebensretter

*2024-12-07, version 2.9.6*

Ich habe tatsächlich nur positives zum wiedergeben. 
Ich versuche eine Top 3 der besten Funktionen (es sind weitaus mehr super Funktionen) 
1. die Bildschirmsperre ist super, man muss das Handy nicht dauerhaft an lassen und kann sogar wenn man möchte in andere Apps während die Geräusche im Hintergrund ertönen.
2. der Timer ist ein richtiger Game changer, wenn man der Meinung ist, das Geräusch könnte solangsam aufhören aber man will es langsam abklingen lassen, so drückt man auf die Uhr in das Geräusch wird nach 20 min automatisch abgeschaltet OHNE unvorhergesehenstes verstummen. Wunderbar!
3. die Auswahl ist riesig, klappt das eine nicht kann man noch zig andere Geräusche ausprobieren. 

Danke für diese tolle App
