Fall asleep faster with calming sleep sounds. Can't sleep? Pick a sound, set the timer, and let your room go quiet. Sleep Sounds turns your phone or iPad into a bedside sound machine, with rain, fans, ocean waves, thunderstorms and more to mask the noise that keeps you awake. Whether you're dealing with a restless mind, a snoring partner, thin apartment walls or a baby who only settles to white noise, one steady sound is usually all it takes. 36 SOUNDS TO SLEEP TO Rain and water: light rain, heavy rain, thunderstorm, ocean waves, waterfalls, a running tap, dripping water, a sprinkler, a shower, underwater. Fans and machines: a table fan, an air conditioner, a clothes dryer, a hair dryer, a vacuum, a train, airplane cabin. Nature and night: crickets, frogs, a campfire, forest at night, jungle, Amazon rainforest, birds, tropical birds, whales, wind, wind chimes. Around the house: two ticking clocks, a city street, distant city noise, a crowded room, a lullaby, a piano, a metronome. Every sound loops seamlessly, so there is no gap or click to jolt you awake. SLEEP TIMER THAT FADES OUT Choose how long a sound should play. It fades out gently at the end instead of stopping dead, so it never wakes the person it just helped fall asleep. BUILD YOUR NIGHT IN STAGES Playlists let you line up sounds one after another with a length for each. Start with light rain for thirty minutes while you drift off, roll into a thunderstorm for twenty, then hold a table fan until morning. A GENTLE WAKE-UP Set an alarm that eases you awake with a sound instead of a jarring buzz. BEDSIDE CLOCK A full-screen night clock, dimmed for a dark room, with your next alarm shown underneath. Leave your phone on the nightstand and it becomes a bedside clock. PLAYS WITH THE SCREEN OFF Lock your phone and the sound keeps going all night. Volume, favourites and the sleep timer all stay one tap away. Download Sleep Sounds and get a proper night's sleep tonight. This app offers an optional subscription. You can use it without one.
