What is myNoise?

myNoise is a website of carefully calibrated noise and ambient sound generators, from rain and cafe chatter to white noise and binaural soundscapes. Each generator has sliders to tune the mix, making it easy to mask distractions while you work or study.

Pros: what myNoise does well

  • Hundreds of free sound generators
  • Fine-grained sliders for each sound
  • No account needed

Cons: where it falls short

  • Site design is busy
  • Some premium soundscapes ask for a donation

Who myNoise is for

Anyone who works better with steady background sound to block out noise.

Who can skip it

People who prefer silence or their own music while working.
