Create your perfect mix of relaxing sounds to help you sleep, relax, study or work! Play sounds in the background while you listen to podcasts or music. Play calm nature sounds to help you drift off to sleep. You can easily set a timer to stop playing after a certain length of time, or set sounds to gradually fade out. Download once, listen whenever and wherever you like. All sounds are stored locally on your device, and once installed you can listen without using any data and without an internet connection. A Soft Murmur plays seamless, uninterrupted audio so it never interrupts your focus. Listen to four free sounds - gentle rain, rolling thunder, ocean waves and gusting wind. And for a one-off purchase, enjoy six additional sounds - crackling fire, morning bird song, chirping crickets, bustling coffee shop, meditation singing bowl and zen white noise. When Meander is active, the volume of each active sound increases and decreases at random, creating rolling waves of sound that are never the same twice. Save your favorite mixes and give them names. Switch easily between mixes or share them with your friends. The modern world is full of distractions, so we've made this app incredibly simple and easy to use. With a few taps you can enjoy seamless, relaxing nature sounds with A Soft Murmur.
