Is really cool. I set it on some peaceful ambient noise like raindrops and I went to sleep. I set the timer for 11 hours and I seriously slept up till the alarm rang.

I wonder if there's anything like this for PC or Mac? I hate the idea of having my iPod plugged in night after night just for a nice night of rest.

Oh and if you haven't tried this app, you should. It's worth it!

go to download.com and search for white noise. There's a ton of apps which have been around for ages.

I've used "Atmosphere" with good results for a couple of years.
The have a "Lite" version as well as a full version ("Deluxe") with free trial.

It has options for ambient music and sounds, as well as "white noise".
You can use preset options like "Deep Forest", "Thunderstorm", "Oceans Edge", "Rainy Day", "Woodland Campfire", etc, and it will generate ambient sounds of those environments (it's more natural sounding because it's not looped like ambient CDs) and you can customize what sounds you want to hear or add sound/music tracks.

Really great app, use it more for when I want some background noise but don't want to listen necessarily to music that I have.

This. Although I sometimes feel white noise and gaussian noise are used interchangeably even though they are not the same. Sometimes I mix the definitions :p

Actually, if your ear acts as a natural low pass filter, then the two may be interchangeable.

Hate the idea of having it plugged in all night? LOL, mines plugged in 95% of nights just from general use. I don't think you should worry about it

So you'd rather power your PC all night than your iPhone? I guess if it's already on for some reason.

Also, wouldn't you just need the white noise for like an hour until you fall asleep? I don't see how the white noise helps after you're already sleeping.

I hate the idea of my iPod / iPhone's battery dying within a year of use.... heh. Especially when it's not easily replaceable.


@Crono, that's exactly what I was looking for. Pink/white noise is nice, but I like more of some peaceful ambient noise thing...

I will say I've had it for nearly a year now and haven't noticed any drop in battery life yet. So I'd say dying within a year is a little harsh by my experience, but within 2 years maybe.

You can still hear sounds while sleeping. This is why alarm clocks work. Everyone knows this. Well almost everyone...
