In their own words
myNoise
myNoise is a soundscape service for adjustable nature sounds, ambient music, and noise textures. It supports listening for focus, relaxation, sleep, tinnitus masking, and other purposes. Sliders let listeners shape the mix into a continuous sound environment. The catalog includes natural and synthetic noises, landscapes, ambiences, music, experimental sounds, and other categories. The website is ad-free, with free access supported by voluntary donations, and free visitors see a curated selection on the main page. Website patron access adds advanced generator controls, guided meditations, community creations, favorites, cloud-synced settings, and MP3 downloads. Free iOS and Android apps provide selected soundscapes; a single payment unlocks each app’s full catalog, with offline listening available. Website donations and mobile purchases are separate. The maker says nature recordings come from field work and musical soundscapes are performed by musicians, without AI audio. Website generators are for personal or private use unless separately licensed. Access is listed for web, iOS, Android, and macOS. A browser compatible with Web Audio API is required.
