## What is White Noise Lite?

Do you have trouble going to sleep? Are you traveling on a plane and need a quick power nap? Does your newborn baby wake up in the middle of the night? There are numerous benefits to using White Noise:

• Helps you sleep by blocking distractions
• Relaxes and reduces stress
• Pacifies fussy and crying babies
• Increases focus while enhancing privacy
• Soothes headaches and migraines
• Masks tinnitus (ringing of the ears)

Even when you’re asleep, your brain is constantly scanning and listening for sounds. If it’s too quiet, unwanted noises such as faucet drips or police sirens can interrupt your sleep. White Noise generates sounds over a wide range of frequencies, masking those noise interruptions, so you can not only fall asleep, but stay asleep.

### 5/5 — Love this!!!

*2026-08-22, version 8.7.1*

I never write reviews but I love this app. Turn it on for when baby takes nap. Love that there’s no stupid ads that disrupt the sound. I use this every day all the time.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-08-22, version 8.7.1*

I can finally sleep without the voices bothering me and whispering in my ear evil thoughts

### 4/5 — Does it need a title?

*2026-08-21, version 8.7.1*

The only bad part is when those letters with sound combinations pop up. I think that they’re cool and all but I just want to open this up so I can play my brown noise so I can fall asleep.
I think that those letters should still exist, but not just pop up on my screen. I keep clicking for the play button and accidentally downloading them.

### 5/5 — Ahhh sleep

*2026-08-20, version 8.7.1*

Took a day to get used to it, now I can’t go without it for more sound sleep! Love that it fades, has a timer, and a clock option. Brown noise for the win!

### 5/5 — 🥰

*2026-08-20, version 8.7.1*

Extremely peaceful

### 5/5 — Tinnitus Relief

*2026-08-20, version 8.7.1*

I suffer from tinnitus for the past 20 years, so sleeping has always been difficult . I keep my iPhone plugged in charging all night while listening loudly to WHITE NOISE . It gives my tinnitus competition, so the noise that I hear doesn’t seem like it’s coming from my head, but rather coming from an external source.  The idea was recommended by my audiologist and it’s been a life saver!!!!  I cannot sleep without it!!!

### 5/5 — Sleepy time

*2026-08-20, version 8.7.1*

It helps me sleep a lot better
