White noise is one color. Prism Noise gives you the whole spectrum. Shape four independent noise layers from deep Brown through Pink, White, Blue and Violet. Add filters, stereo width, gentle swells, sub-bass drones and a generative melody. Background playback, a sleep timer, lock-screen controls and mixing alongside other audio help you keep a comfortable soundscape nearby. YOUR SOUND, LOOPED Record ambient audio or import files and eligible songs from your music library. Trim and sequence loops, repeat sections, adjust timing, and render a saved mix to an audio file. Protected Apple Music subscription tracks cannot be imported. Use only audio you have permission to record and share. NEW: STUDIO Create beats and melodies, layer your voice, shape sounds, and save the result to your Loop Library. Studio includes pattern controls, voice layers, spatial and timing adjustments, and the Professor Fugue guide. You can also start or join a FaceTime SharePlay jam: participants share Studio settings and recorded voice layers through Apple's services. GENESIS Forge a soundscape, keep it, refine it or pass. Genesis learns from those choices on your device. Its taste memory is not sent to a learning server. Try 25 free forges; an optional one-time purchase unlocks unlimited Genesis forges. No subscription is required. MASKING AND COMFORT Use a tone or hiss band to estimate a sound resembling your tinnitus, then compare full and notched soundscapes. Prism Noise is a sound generator for masking and comfort, not a medical device or treatment. Results vary. Use a comfortable volume and seek professional care for new or changing tinnitus. YOUR DATA No developer account, advertising or tracking. Core sound creation works offline. Your files may sync through your own iCloud account. SharePlay requires a network connection and shares session content with people who join. Microphone and music-library access are requested when you use the related features. Support diagnostics are shared only when you choose. Privacy: https://www.prismnoise.com/privacy.html Terms: https://www.prismnoise.com/terms.html
