40+ Therapeutic Sounds

The classic sleep sound. Fans produce broad-spectrum noise with emphasis on lower-mid frequencies. Many people grew up sleeping with fans and find the sound inherently calming.

Cafe ambience

Background chatter and activity creates a sense of social presence that some find comforting. The variable nature means it works better for daytime use than sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which sound should I start with?

Start with pink noise. It works reasonably well for most tinnitus types and most people find it comfortable. Experiment from there based on your results.

Can I mix different sounds together?

Yes. Layering a steady noise (like white or pink) with a nature sound can provide both consistent masking and psychological comfort. The app allows mixing multiple sounds simultaneously with independent volume controls.

Why does white noise make my tinnitus seem worse?

White noise contains high-frequency energy that can sometimes highlight rather than mask high-pitched tinnitus. Try pink or brown noise instead, or reduce volume significantly.
