### 5/5 — NOISE BLOCKER

*2026-05-28, version 5.2*

I have been using this app for about  4 years or more.
I love the ability to mix together, the rain, river rapids, wind, brown noise, and other sounds to make one personal blend. Also, I love that I can play these sounds with my YouTube music. I play these sounds at night, to block my wife's snoring chainsaw, and in public places where people's conversations and music are invading the private space of my own 2 ears, at work.

### 5/5 — Nite nite

*2026-04-26, version 5.2*

Love this. Definitely helps put you in a calm state and tune out any outside noises . You will sleep like a baby

### 5/5 — Great app

### 5/5 — Favorite App

*2026-02-24, version 5.1*

Hands down amazing!

### 4/5 — Acouphènes aussi mais pas que…

*2026-02-21*

Bonne appli. Je me sers de plusieurs programmes de ce style et selon le jour, certains me conviennent mieux que d’autres. Cela sert aussi pour se détendre. Je mets souvent ces sons pendant 1/4 d’heures avant de dormir et ça permet de m’apaiser ( pas toujours mais c’est mieux que rien) testez, vous verrez vite si ça vous convient ou pas. Nous ne sommes pas tous égaux sur ce plan.
