## What is White Noise?

Soundly Sleeping helps your sleep by reducing the amount of external noise you will be subject to.

It produces continuous, uninterrupted random noise that effectively cancels out other sounds. All you have to do is pick between the exact randomness that suits your audio source best: white, pink, or brown. Essentially the sound gets lower from first to last - simply try out what works best for you. Set your volume - not too loud, we don't want to hurt your ears - and have a good night's sleep!

You might also try the app in the following situations:

* On a plane and you want to relax or sleep undisturbed
* When repetitive sounds (like clock ticking or gentle snoring) keep you awake
* To mask out street noises if you live in a loud neighborhood

Give Soundly Sleeping a try if you have a headache, a migraine, tinnitus, insomnia, or you simply are looking for some privacy.

Try playing it for your kids if they won't fall asleep or your baby if it is crying.

### 2/5 — Kills your battery

*2025-07-27, version 2.0.2*

A fully charged phone plugged in will only last 4-5 hours before this app kills your battery.  Makes it difficult to sleep through the night.

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2025-06-30, version 2.0.2*

Really good sounds great app no ads download today for free

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2025-05-02, version 2.0.2*

Really good sounds great app no ads download today

### 5/5 — Simple, Effective!

*2025-04-23*

I don't need fan noises, rain drop sounds, fancy programs... Just a button for brown noise, and sometimes pink.

This does that beautifully. :)

Wish there was a 1-time "lifetime purchase" option to get rid of ads, but I am glad it is not a subscription model.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-02-26, version 2.0.2*

Amazing, always helps me sleep. I feel like I have a much better sleep when I use the app. So simple and easy

### 5/5 — Zzzzz

*2025-01-28, version 2.0.2*

I love this app so much! I literally use to nightly. I live off a highway and its helps!

### 4/5 — Amazing when it works. Mildly annoying when it doesn’t.

*2024-07-14, version 2.0.2*

Perfect in many ways however sometimes it just stops working. Resetting is easy though by closing and reopening the app.

### 5/5 — Awesome 👍

*2024-06-16, version 2.0.2*

I have been using this app for a few years now paired with sleep headphones and it has worked brilliantly to drown out my husbands snoring. After ten years of insomnia and other sleep problems this has really done the trick. Also great for flying. Please don’t change the app it’s great as it is!

### 5/5 — Get this and stop looking!!!

*2024-04-14, version 2.0.2*

I have used this app for years. Don’t waste time looking for “color” sounds and just use this one.
I normally don’t write reviews on apps, but this app deserves it!

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2024-02-03*

I have been using it every night for several years and it’s always worked perfectly for me. I love the simple UI & unobtrusive ads, & that it does exactly what it says on the tin. Thank you for making it!!!
