White noise generator apps (for working, studying, sleeping and more)
Posted: Mon Apr 03, 2023 7:04 pm
There isn't only white noise to mask unwanted noises in your vicinity, to help you relax, stay focused or sleep better. You can also use for example brown noise, pink noise, fan noise or nature sounds like a waterfall. YouTube offers a lot of videos and playlists for these purposes. But the internet is not always available (e.g. your are in a dead spot or your data volume is used up). The white noise generator apps fill this gap. Search in your app store for "white noise generator", "noise generator" or "sound masking" and you will find a lot.
Currently, I use myNoise by myNoise BV and White Noise Generator by AMICOOLSOFT.

White Noise Generator
Play the sound of the generator app in the background or over headphones. You can combine the sound masking sounds with other strategies to combat noise.
Although I posted this thread in Autism, the white noise generator apps can also help if you have conditions like ADHD, High Sensitivity, misophonia, (social) anxiety or tinnitus.
