User Reviews for White Noise

Worth the price!

Started with white noise lite, loved it, but felt restricted (it stops the noise if you leave the app). Upgraded, and it was a game changer. I use it for everything now - going to sleep, trying to focus while in the office, meditating, shoving off anxiety - you know, basics.At first I would just play the sounds available as is, and THEN I started playing around with the app features. You can try making your own mixes to get some variety, and if you download white noise market for free, you can to add to the sounds you already have in your library. You can also record sounds (you can do it right in the app), and if you want, you can upload it into the white noise market and other people can download and enjoy the things you record too. I live near a river and when it rains, that sound is one of my favorite things in the world.. now I carry it around with me so I have it when I need a calm moment. I love it so much, can’t recommend it enough!

Great for sleeping

Love this app for sleeping. Can't sleep without it. Cuts out the different noises that may wake u through the night. Use to have a fan running at night while I slept. 365 days but in the winter it makes it too cold but still had to use the fan. I've been using this app for 5 years. The clock has different colors so if u want it to light the room or keep it dark u can & still use the clock. You can put 2 together or just pick anyone that would work for u. I do recommend it!!Update: I have used this app probably 10 years now but on the last few updates to the app I’ve not been happy with it. If you don’t put it in clock mode the phone sleep mode kicks in. So when my cats wake it up in the middle of the night & I want to see what time it is the phone is asleep but the sound is still playing. It defeats the whole purpose of having it for a clock. Try & fix it on your next update it’s very annoying.

Good mix of sounds

I've used a white noise machine for 20 years or more to block out background sound so that I can sleep. I had tried apps before on my phone, but they didn't come close to the same range of sounds that my white noise machine could block. However, recently, the batteries corroded my white noise machine and so I had to look for an option. This time I tried a few White Noise apps, and this one came the closest to re-creating the full spectrum of white noise that blocks everything I need it to block. I love that you can combine several sounds, and they are all quality. I play the white noise through a blue tooth speaker to really get a full rich blocking sound effect. It is the very best out there, I can’t sleep without it.

Best app I have spent money on

I work in a noisy office that I’ve not been able to block out and this app has saved my sanity. I’d give it 5 stars except for 2 small things. One of which is you have download a separate app to download additional sounds. If this is a feature of your app, I shouldn’t have to use another tool. Second thing is when you create a playlist, the default time for each item is 10 minutes. I wish there were a setting to reduce that so I wouldn’t have to adjust each item in the playlist. Other than these two annoyances, this app offers a great variety of sounds thanks to the community uploading. I used the free app version for a long time before paying and I wish I hadn’t waited. The stock sounds are decent, but the additional ones you can download are great.

Must have travel app!

This app is a must have/go to for the traveler! It saves you on an airplane by drowning out the chatter around you so you can sleep. It eliminates weird hotel noises and the too loud tv next door problem. The clock feature means you can unplug the alarm clock and use the bedside outlet to charge your device and still know what time it is in the middle of the night. The sounds and mixes are so incredibly customizable. Love that I can make a sound that is just right so that I don’t even hear it, but I don’t hear anything else either. Definitely among my most used apps when I travel. I’ve used and loved and recommended it for years now. Thank you for making such a great, useful, intuitive app.

Great except for one flaw

Updating my review to five stars because I found out you can disable those annoying new sound postcards! Thank goodness!The paid version of this app is worth every penny! I am a horrible sleeper who wakes at even the slightest noise, and am able to detect the repeat in most sound tracks, and that will keep me awake. However, many of the sounds on this app have perfect loops and no distinguishing pattern, so I sleep great!What cost it a star: that stupid splash noise when there is a pop up about new sounds or some such nonsense. I never read it. All I know is it’s very annoying, and very jarring, to set a sound to sleep, put the phone down, only to be jolted by the sudden, loud splash! Get rid of that and you’ll have a perfect app.

Worth a try, but needs a tweak or two

My doctor has prescribed a med with interrupted sleep as a side effect. I downloaded White Noise to help “lullaby” me back to sleep in the middle of the night. It plays through my Bluetooth enabled hearing aids. It helps some, certainly better than silence.White noise offers a considerable selection of satisfactory sounds and the option of creating a playlist to vary them. I found it worth encouraging the developer with a paid upgrade of less than a dollar. It’s worth that.The app does have it’s issues:The option menus are not very intuitive, and they are confusingThere are a few “tips” but no manual or help functionThe upgrade wipes all the playlist, mix creations, and manually recorded sounds. It leaves the old Lite app in place with a different colored icon. It’s just odd and awkward. I don’t resent spending the dollar, but I can’t see that it buys anything reallyThe volume of the sounds vary a lot perceptually from one another. It’s just about impossible to create a playlist that does not have jarring volume changes. The app really needs the ability to adjust the volume of playlist entries individually.There is a shuffle function that reorders the playlist but no capacity for creating a specific desired order by moving items up or down manually

Great variety of sounds, great sleep aid

I love the variety of sounds that are available, and, coupled with the White Noise Store, you can keep as many sounds as you’d like. I use the app on lunch breaks, as I sleep in my car, and, oftentimes, at there’s at least one person who blares out loud, obnoxious music, or talks on their phone while I’m trying to recharge my batteries with a short power nap. The app has higher-pitched sounds(Pink Noise) for the booming bass-based obnoxious music that someone will blare out from their car stereo, and, lower-pitched sounds(Room Noise, Brown Noise, Gray Noise, and Space Station Sleep Room, just to name a few) to drown out the higher-pitched music, or conversation. The timer function is great, and there’s even a Fade-In option that let’s you have your selected wake noise fade in slowly. And, here is what cost this App a 5th Star: When the Fade-In option is activated, your selected Wake Noise fades in gradually, but, your sleep noise stops. Suddenly. And, THAT wakes me up BEFORE the Wake Noise starts. If the Sleep Noise were to slowly start to fade, I’d say, 30 seconds before the Wake Noise were to kick in, AND THEN, the Wake Noise were to slowly fade in at, say, 15-20 seconds before the scheduled wake-up time, that would make this App an even better investment!

Music volume issues

UPDATE:I don’t know what they did on the most recent update, but since then my music alarms do not go past half volume! I do not have fade set, and I learned a LONG time ago to check my music volume (since it is separate from the sounds volume) before setting the alarm. I play a little random music, make sure the volume is all of the way up, and then set the alarm. While a PITA, at least that fixed the issue of the alarm going off with no volume but now it just sits at half volume! NOT GOOD! For now I’ll keep with it and trying but after years of using the app and lots of downloaded sounds, I may end up changing after all to something that wakes me up instead of me waking up before it.PREVIOUS: Let me delete stock sounds!That is probably my only complaint. I’m good as long as I remember to check the volume of my music before going to bed. Quite a few times the sound was all of the way down so no alarm. But it is really annoying to have to keep sounds I will never use like the drier, fan, clock, etc. they are just annoying to me- please pick one sample like waves to have to keep and let us delete the others!

Update 7.7.10 need work

I never write reviews for apps, but the most recent update for this app (one I use every single night) has me questioning who decided to make these changes. The change that makes no sense is the way you now have to change the time for your alarm. Instead of a click wheel like you used to have, which is still the same for the duration alarm, you now have to click into a secondary window and then you have a tiny window in which you have to try to click/spin the hours and minutes or actually type in the time you want. The way this was before was simple, easy, and quick. Now it’s just frustratingly complicated. Please change this back the way it was. A lot of people use this app more than they use all other apps combined and this function is now nowhere near as user friendly as it was. Otherwise this is a great app! Would recommend to anyone.
