White noise
Bright and steady, like a radio between stations. Masks outside noise well.
Your sound. Your focus. Your calm.
White noise, rain and waves for sleep and focus
Noisely mixes calming sounds that your phone creates on the spot. So you never hear the same short loop over and over. Pick your sounds, set a timer and put your phone down.

Sixteen sounds
From soft noise to a night train
White, pink and brown noise are free. Tap the play button to hear a sound. With Plus you can combine every sound, each with its own volume: rain with a fire in the background, or a stream in the woods.
Noise
Pink noise
Softer in the high tones than white noise. Many people find it nicer to sleep to.
Brown noise
Deep and warm, like an aeroplane cabin or a distant waterfall.
Nature
Rain
A gentle shower with single drops that never fall the same way twice.
Thunder
A gentle shower with the occasional rumble of thunder far away.
Waves
Surf rolling in and drawing back, in a calm and slightly irregular rhythm.
Wind
Wind that swells, whistles past the window and settles again.
Forest
Leaves rustling in the wind, with the odd bird in the distance.
Stream
Water babbling over stones, with little bubbles that always sound different.
Crickets
A warm summer evening with crickets chirping in the grass.
Indoors and travel
Fireplace
The low rumble of a fire, with crackles and the occasional pop.
Fan
The constant whir of a fan, with a soft hum underneath.
Air con
The even blowing of an air conditioner, with the low hum of its compressor.
Café
Soft chatter and the clink of cups, like a quiet coffee shop.
Train
The rhythm of wheels on the rails and the gentle sway of a night train.
Plane
The deep, steady roar of the cabin on a long flight.
Sleep, focus, relax
A ready-made mix for every moment

Generated live
No recordings, so no repetition
Most sound apps play a recording of a few minutes, over and over. After a while you hear the same drop or wave come back, and from then on that repetition is all you hear.
Noisely records nothing. Your phone calculates every sound itself, with a touch of chance: where a drop falls, how high a wave rises, when the fire crackles. That makes it sound alive, keeps the app under 100 kB and lets it work without internet.
A bit of rain, as Noisely calculates it. Different every time.
Made for the night
Everything you need, nothing more
Your own mix
Turn sounds on and off with a tap and give each one its own volume.
Sleep timer with fade-out
Choose 15 minutes to 2 hours. At the end the sound slowly fades over 1, 5 or 15 minutes, so you don't wake up with a start.
Focus block
Work in rounds of, say, 25 minutes with a 5 minute break. A soft chime marks each switch.
Night screen with lock
An extra dark screen with just the time left. Lock it so a sleepy hand or a child can't change anything by accident.
Works offline
After the first visit Noisely works without internet too, on a plane or on holiday.
No account
Your mixes and settings stay on your own phone. No ads and no tracking cookies.

Frequently asked questions
Good to know
What is the difference between white, pink and brown noise?
It comes down to the balance between high and low tones. White noise has equal energy everywhere and sounds bright and hissy. Pink noise gets quieter as the pitch rises, so it sounds rounder. Brown noise goes further still and sounds deep and rumbling. Try all three: which one feels nice differs from person to person.
How much does Noisely cost?
White, pink and brown noise are free, with no time limit and no ads. Noisely Plus, with every sound, mixing, the focus block and saved mixes, is coming soon for € 3.99 a month or € 34.99 a year.
Does the sound keep playing with my screen off?
On Android, yes, even with the screen locked. You can control Noisely from the lock screen.
On iPhone it depends on your iOS version, because Apple gives web apps less freedom in the background. Add Noisely to your home screen for the best chance. Under Testing the app keeps a log, so you can see whether playback was interrupted.
Do I need an internet connection?
Only the first time, to load the app. After that your phone makes every sound itself and Noisely works offline too.
Can I use Noisely for my baby?
Many parents use noise to help their baby sleep. Keep the volume low and place your phone at a distance, never in the cot or right next to your baby's head. Noisely has a baby mode for this: it caps the volume at 40% and lets the sound swell in gently. If in doubt, ask your health visitor or doctor.
Does Noisely collect data about me?
Not about you personally. There is no account and there are no tracking cookies. Your mixes and settings stay on your own device. We only count, anonymously, how many people use the site and the app. Read more in the privacy statement (in Dutch).
Does Noisely work on my computer too?
Yes. Noisely works in every modern browser, such as Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox. Handy for focusing while you work or study.
