Every sound has its own volume, so you can build the blend that helps you drift off. Set the sleep timer and the sound fades out gently, then stops on its own. Choose a 30-second, 1-minute or 2-minute fade in Settings. 5 ROOMS, 30 SOUNDS - Rain: rain on the roof, rain on the window, distant thunder, heavy rain, wind, crickets - Beach: waves, foam on the sand, sea breeze, seagulls, palm leaves, bell buoy - Forest: night woods, stream, leaves in the wind, rain on leaves, owls, distant birds - Fire: crackling fire, embers, wind in the chimney, wood pops, crickets outside, creaking wood - Underwater: deep water, whale song, bubbles, current, muffled waves, sonar FREE - Rain and Beach rooms, 3 sounds each - Hear the other sounds for 10 seconds - 15-minute sleep timer - Preview Forest, Fire or Underwater for 60 seconds, once a day per room - Try the Hearth or Candle skin for 60 seconds, once a day each - The free version shows ads PLUS - Every room with all 6 sounds - Sleep timer: 15, 30 or 45 minutes, or 1, 2 or 3 hours - Keeps playing when your phone is locked - No ads - Hearth and Candle skins - Save up to 5 named mixes Choose Plus Yearly (with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers) or Plus Lifetime, a one-time purchase.
