Focused work with environmental sounds! I recommend you work from home! Environmental sounds are also effective for sleeping, relaxing and learning. Multiple ambient sounds can be played back at the same time. You can even adjust the volume individually! It has been shown that you can concentrate better with environmental sounds than with silence. Music has been shown to be effective for routine work, but it has been shown to be counterproductive for overburdened brain work. The app includes a variety of environmental sounds. You can use it as a guideline for work and study with the timer function. Features Our app is particularly focused on the sounds of rain and wind, and contains a variety of variations. For example, in the case of rain, there are various sounds such as the sound of rain with an umbrella, the sound of rain in a prefab hut, and sideways rain due to strong winds. Wind can range from a gentle breeze to a wind blowing through a ravine to a typhoon. In addition to rain and wind, there are also fireworks, waves, waterfall, footsteps, etc. Simultaneous playback and background playback Multiple environments can be combined for simultaneous playback. You can adjust the volume individually and play in the background, of course. Timer function A timer function with 15-minute increments is implemented. You can use it as a guideline for working and studying, and you can set it to stop playing at a certain time when you sleep. Favorites function Add your favorite ambient sounds to your favorites. In no time, you'll have access to your regular sounds! So use Aphria to help you work, learn and sleep.
