Noctune

All 32 sounds

Recordings come from licensed sound libraries, cut and levelled for sleep, and played so they never loop audibly. Noise colors and tones are generated on your phone. 8 are free; Premium unlocks the rest.

Noise colors

Generated on your phone, steady from the first second to the last. 7 sounds

  • White NoiseGenerated · FreeEqual energy across the whole range. Bright and even, the classic choice for covering voices and street noise.
  • Pink NoiseGenerated · FreeSofter than white: the high end is turned down, so it sounds more like steady rain than static.
  • Brown NoiseGenerated · FreeMost of the energy sits low. A deep, rounded rumble with almost no hiss.
  • Deep BrownGenerated · PremiumBrown noise with everything above about 200 Hz filtered away. Felt as much as heard.
  • Green NoiseGenerated · PremiumNoise centred on the middle of the range, around 1 kHz. Fuller than white, lighter than brown.
  • Blue NoiseGenerated · PremiumOnly the highs, above about 4 kHz. Airy and crisp, best at a low volume or in a mix.
  • Violet NoiseGenerated · PremiumThe very top of the range, above 6 kHz. A thin, fine hiss. Few people use it alone; it can add air to a mix at low volume.

Where the recordings come from

The nature and home recordings are licensed from the Sonniss GDC Game Audio Bundles and from Freesound (CC0). We cut a long, clean stretch from each, level them to a similar loudness so nothing jumps out when you switch, and let the app pick random segments as it plays. Thunder strikes are separate recordings mixed over rain, each with a slow fade-in.
