White noise is sound that includes all frequencies audible to the human ear—between 20 hertz and 20,000 hertz—played at an equal intensity or amplitude, measured in decibels. White noise is more than just recordings of ocean waves and rain sounds. White noise is a collection of sounds that has the same intensity through the audible range, creating a uniform sound perfect for masking loud disruptions. In other words, white noise “smooths” out your audible environment for sleeping, studying, focusing, and more! OVER 50+ white noise sleep sounds: * Green Noise * Rain Sounds * Fan noise * Healing Music * 528 Hz Healing Frequency * Nature Sounds * Rain sounds * Water sounds * Campfire sounds * Air Conditioner * Fan * Airplane Cabin * Driving in the Rain * Birds and Chimes * Cat Purring * Crickets * Croaking Frogs * Light Rain * Medium Rain * Rain on Tent * Distant Thunder * Rolling Thunder * Ocean Waves * Winter Wind * Brown Noise * White Noise Why buy a portable noise maker or sound machine when you can use the devices you already own?

About

Haven & Hold

Read full description

Some days, the words you need most aren't easy to find. Haven & Hold is a quiet companion for the space between therapy sessions. Therapeutic quotes written with the depth and care of someone who's done the work, organized around three collections that meet you where you actually are. Completely free. No paywall, no subscription, no locked content. THERAPEUTIC QUOTE CARDS 15 quotes across three collections: Grounding (when everything feels unsteady), Wholeness (when you need to feel complete), and Growth (when you're ready to unfold). Each comes with a guided mantra, plus "Use this when" and "Remember this when" reflections that sit with you after the screen goes dark. GUIDED MANTRAS Every quote opens into a full Mantra View, where a short literary reflection unpacks what the words are really holding. Language that trusts your intelligence and stays with you longer than a notification. DAILY ANCHOR Choose your time, and one quote arrives each day as a push notification. A quiet moment of being held by language, delivered at the hour you need it most. EMOTIONAL CHECK-IN One tap each day: Grounding, Wholeness, or Growth. Your check-in shapes which quotes appear and builds a personal Emotional Map over time, a gentle mirror of what you've been needing. YOUR EMOTIONAL MAP A monthly calendar of your check-in history. Patterns without judgment. What you've needed, without being told what to do about it. SHARE & SAVE Save quotes that hold you and share them with the people who need them. Every shared card is a tiny act of care. BUILT FOR WOMEN IN THERAPY (AND EVERYONE ELSE) Built for women who find most wellness apps insulting to their intelligence. You don't have to be in therapy to need words that hold you without telling you what to do. If that sounds like something you've been looking for, this is your space. WHAT THIS IS NOT - Not a meditation app (Calm and Headspace do that well) - Not a mood tracker demanding daily data - Not an affirmation generator with stock sunset photos - Not a habit tracker with streaks and badges One quiet moment per day of being held by language. That's all. FROM THE STUDIO Haven & Hold is a therapeutic wall art print studio. "Quiet anchors for turbulent minds." The app brings that same care from your walls to your phone, and when a quote holds you, you can bring it home as a print. Your phone can hold you now.
