Noisy neighbours can make many people’s homes feel uninhabitable. This app can help you to cover this noises and keep your focus in your studies, work or sleep better. Important Use headphones or external speakers to produce low noise frequencies. With this app you can easily generate four types of noises: White Noise - 20Hz to 20.000Hz - All the frequencies in same level; Pink Noise - 20Hz to 20.000 (More bass sound than white noise, because is formed by a algorithm with decrease in volume level when increasing frequency); Brown Noise - Lower frequencies mix - Sounds like thunder, distant plane or rocket; Custom Noise - You can apply a low cut frequency filter to get your own noise! The sounds are produced in real time, they are not pre-recorded sounds. This enables to play them without interruption, without loops. The goal is to create a wall of sound that cover other noises that may be bothering you, allowing study, sleep or simply relax without being disturbed by external noises. These continuous sounds also help to calm fussy babies.
