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. ### 5/5 — Get this app! *2026-01-25, version 4.8* Its amazing, no complaints, love and u should buy! Seriously, it’s incredible. 🤩 ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-01-19, version 4.8* I use as a sleep machine. With a little adjustment to levels of the basic sounds, I have a nice sound for sleeping or to cover distracting sounds when I do devotionals, but the ads for paid version are annoying. ### 5/5 — Best sleep app! *2026-01-03, version 4.8* This app is the ONLY way I stay asleep! Beautiful ### 5/5 — My go to sleep app *2025-12-31, version 4.8* I’ve tried many others but there’s something about this one that I really like. 👍🏽🥱😴 ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-12-06, version 4.6* I love this app. I could not sleep without it. Don’t waste your money on a white noise machine when you can use this app for free. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-10-25, version 4.6* Great ### 5/5 — Can sleep better *2025-10-05, version 4.6* A must for camping and away from home when I cannot bring my home device ### 5/5 — Dishwasher *2025-09-21, version 4.6* Mix my ### 5/5 — My favorite *2025-09-19, version 4.6* Download this app after my old one wasn’t free anymore my new favorite noise machine app ### 5/5 — Current year *2025-09-02, version 4.6* 2013 ### 5/5 — Above all others *2025-08-31, version 4.5* As an experienced tinnitus lifer this app brings me home to sleep ### 3/5 — Too much advertisment of upgrade *2025-07-17, version 4.2* There are not enough sounds and there should not be a upgrade version 😃 ### 5/5 — Night times white noise *2025-07-07, version 4.2* I’ve used this app for years, every night, without fail. It’s fabulous! 10/10 ### 5/5 — My favorite *2025-07-02, version 4.2* Download this app after my old one wasn’t free anymore my new favorite noise machine app ### 2/5 — Not Dependable *2025-06-16, version 4.1* Sound is fine; but even when plugged and charging and set for 11 hours, it will sometimes arbitrarily just quit in the middle of the night. The whole idea is to have steady constant sound for our sleeping period. Not dependable. ### 5/5 — Great for travel *2025-06-08, version 4.1* We sleep at home with an air purifier on so we are accustomed to having a fan sound on while we sleep. This is a great substitute when traveling plus it blocks out noise from other hotel guests. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-06-06, version 4.1* Whenever I am in someplace new and I want white noise on, I immediately go to this app and it makes a perfect rain. Sounds to help me fall right to sleep. ### 5/5 — Replaces Relax Melodies and other noise apps *2025-05-11, version 4.0* Sound can play in the background even when other apps and their sound is playing!! I love the variety of industrial machine and fan noises, I find the low constant tones to be more relaxing for sleep than your average nature sounds like rain or crickets, and most white noise apps I’ve tried had very few of those different types of fan or machinery noises. But there are good nature sounds too for those that want them! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — アプリが突然終了する *2025-04-27* 赤ちゃんの寝かしつけのときに使っているので、突然切れて赤ちゃんがびっくりして起きて困っています。 ピンクノイズの音を気に入って使っているので、改善してほしい **Developer response:** 申し訳ありません。これは起こるべきではありません。電話を再起動してこのアプリのみ実行してください。アプリ内の "ご質問またはフィードバック "からお問い合わせください。喜んでお役に立ちます。 ### 1/5 — Full of spam and porn *2025-02-02, version 3.9* The app is effective, and the white noise is good, but the ads and the pornography is not a good thing. This is one of those apps that shoves pop-ups and payments in your face through the entire process. It’s horrible. ### 1/5 — Ruined by the "new subscription option" *2024-09-01, version 3.2* Have had this app for about a year and it was perfect. The sound restarted itself if there was an interruption by an incoming text or other function. Now you have to open it back up and X the screen to subscribe monthly or yearly to get the noise on again. Not worth paying for so I'm deleting it. It was nice while it lasted. ### 1/5 — THEY CHANGED MY FAN *2024-09-01, version 3.2* been using this app for years and always fall asleep to the fan sound but they changed it today and now it sounds more static wooshy and has little TINKS IN IT which completely ruined it. I need consistent noice and the little tinks ruin that. I am so sad. I need to find a new white noise app for the second time now 😭 ### 1/5 — Was five up until tonight *2024-06-19, version 3.1* Ive been listening to this for 4 or 5 years. I was trying to go to sleep and this creepy laugh in the background started talking to me. I asked it a question I thought it might be a glitch or something, but she answered back accurate to my question and she seemed like a real person. Im so creeped out right now ### 1/5 — Big layers *2024-04-25, version 3.1* All apps free only 5 song Not good quality Not good option 😩😩😩 only man you need money Not free ### 1/5 — I hear people talking on each of these pre-recorded noise tapes. *2024-02-16, version 3.1* You’ll at times during the night, you’ll be awaken by hearing people’s voices, sometimes groups of people talking. ### 1/5 — you get *2024-01-18, version 3.1* 3 sounds!! ### 1/5 — Datenklau *2024-01-08* Wir hatten die App bisher genutzt um mittels „Finnischem Bach“ (weiß nicht was daran finnisch ist) unsere Babys zu beruhigen. Das ist eine wirklich simple Funktion, die keiner Produktpflege bedarf und die echt einfach zu implementieren ist. Die anderen „hochwertigen Geräusche“ haben wir nie benutzt, weil es die Babys nicht interessiert, wie die Qualität des Geräusches ist und auch die Nationalität etwaiger Fließgewässer ist völlig egal. Seit dem letzten Update zwingt die App einen aber dazu dem „berechtigten Interesse“ zuzustimmen (wobei ich es persönlich fragwürdig finde ob dieses Interesse tatsächlich berechtigt ist), um personalisierte Anzeigen zu verbessern und so den Service zu optimieren. Leute, der Service den ich erwarte ist, dass da ein Geräusch kommt, wenn ich auf Play drücke. Das was ihr bietet und das was ihr fordert steht in keinem Verhältnis zueinander. Da euer Interesse nicht berechtigt ist, ihr mich aber trotzdem dazu zwingen wollt, wird die App also deinstalliert. Tschüss. Grüßt Finnland von mir. **Developer response:** Alle Klänge sind 100% Live-Stereo-Aufnahmen, die an Orten auf der ganzen Welt aufgenommen wurden. Die App wurde aktualisiert- Bitte laden Sie die neueste Veröffentlichung herunter. Die App bietet kostenlos über 75 hochwertige Klänge, einen Timer und und unbegrenzte 6-Klang-Mixe. Sie enthält einen kleinen Werbebanner, damit wir sie bereitstellen können. ### 1/5 — Was great once! *2024-01-03, version 3.0* I’ve had this app for years and loved it! A day ago, all of a sudden it’s asking for consent and because I’ve refused all vendors I can’t use it!! This is really disappointing and not really a choice. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-31, version 5.4* I love this app. I could not sleep without it. Don’t waste your money on a white noise machine when you can use this app for free. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-28, version 5.4* Love it. Get right to sleep’ ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-16, version 5.3* Lwky slept for 10hrs ### 5/5 — My favorite *2026-06-01, version 5.2* Download this app after my old one wasn’t free anymore my new favorite noise machine app ### 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 *2026-04-25, version 5.2* I love this app. I could not sleep without it. Don’t waste your money on a white noise machine when you can use this app for free. ### 5/5 — Neighbors hammering? *2026-04-15* Bose active noise cancellation + White noise mountain water river flood! ### 5/5 — Ruído Branco *2026-03-12* Foi indicação do meu otorrino. Uso todas as noites. ### 5/5 — Favorite App *2026-02-24, version 5.1* Hands down amazing! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
