About

Soothear

Features
Read full description

This app is designed to make your ears and mind to relax. We often meet a lot of noise in our everyday life, and when we go to sleep we hear that silence a bit to well. Some sounds are meant to take away that strained silence and to make your mind not running in circles. Soothear got you covered with just this. Designed for strained ears and add-minds with trouble sleeping or relaxing. With a fireplace, some rain, waves, wind and bird-sounds you can create your own perfect mix. You can also pan the audio to the either left or right to make the audio feel even more reel if you have a stereo or a pair of headphones. Would you like to listen to your podcast over the sound of waves hitting the shore? Why not? Soothear is playing even if you go to another application, and even when listening to for example Spotify or Apple Music. Since we care about audio you don't get 150 different samples to choose from. We handpick the best one for you. Download, pull up the volume-slider, and start relaxing.
