EARPLUG SOUND
Earplug Sound is our proudest creation: it's a rarefied blend of pink and white noise looped and spun like silk; Earplug’s Sound pairs up perfectly with almost any source of environmental noise, helping to lessen its impact and free your mind.
DISTRACTION-FREE APP
When you need Earplug most, you're either half-asleep or you want to be. You don't want to fiddle. You want the app that was created by experts in audio and user interface to guide your experience. Earplug has no options, no popups and no nags... Ever!
We made Earplug because we're like you. We love sleep-sound apps but never found what we were searching for, so we built our own: Earplug. It's distraction-free in its sound, design and stability, and it's quality from beginning to end.
INSTRUCTIONS
• Unlock your iPhone, iPad or Mac
• Open the Earplug app
Earplug can also be controlled from the Control Center, Apple Watch, and the iPhone lock screen.
The App also works great with headphones (especially Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones and Bose QuietComfort 35 Series II) and external speakers. The App will resume after your alarm or timer goes off, and will respond to the Bluetooth media controls on your lock screen.
SLEEP
Sleep isn't something you do. Wait for it!

THANKS
Thanks for checking out Earplug and sweet dreams!
Even though I prefer brown noise or green noise over white or pink, I end up choosing this app every single time when I want to get back to sleep in the early morning, for the simple fact that all I need to do is put on my headphones and open the app. No searching, no fiddling around, no accidentally waking myself up too much by using my screen and brain for too long. Thank you!UPDATE: Even though I'd already given this app 5 stars, I'm updating it to reiterate just how great it is. My circumstances have changed and I can no longer use headphones, but even using it with just the phone speaker it still works very well. I have come to rely on this app so much to get a decent night's sleep that I can no longer imagine my life without it. And still to this day, its simplicity is its genius. Just one tap to open the app, and go to sleep. Please don't ever change this perfection of an app. And thank you, again, for changing my health for the better!
Perfect!

Wow! Just arrived tonight in a noisy hotel, thought to myself "there has to be an app for this problem," found "earplug" and all I can say is wow! It works like a charm...with my headphones on all the background noise is covered up and I can get some much needed rest. Thanks for a great app!Update, a few years later: I have been religiously using earplug every time I need to block out outside noise… And I have to say, not only am I better-looking than I ever was before, but I also feel more powerful, confident and successful! And I owe it all to this one app… Because if it didn't help me block out the noise that I need to block out in order to sleep the way I need to sleep in order to be as successful as I need to be, I wouldn't be anywhere.All hail EARPLUG! May it be praised with great praise.

From the moment I started using Earplug, I started sleeping so much better. I really depend on it now for a good night’s sleep.I already was running my air conditioner fan at night to create white noise. In addition, I have a white noise machine which I have had for number of years.But lately, my air conditioner has been noisy. I just wasn’t getting a good night’s sleep. I decided to give this app a try.The combination of white and pink noise is just perfect for cutting out all unwanted noise around me. I live near an Air Force Base, and I no longer need earplugs. I put my iPhone about a foot or two away from my head and go to sleep. I like that the app is extremely simple to use, without a lot of fuss or controls. It just works perfectly.To the developer: please continue to update this for all future iOS versions, because at this point I cannot imagine sleeping without it. Thank you!

Thanks, so excited that you're enjoying it. We're 100% committed to updating it for new iOS versions.
Single-use app, perfect for sleep
Music This!
This is my go-to for white noise. I have lots of (great apps) but this one has better sound and it does everything I need. Love the colors too. (I find I can get more volume control using the slider on the Home Screen. The volume controls on the side of the phone are too coarse)Anyway, lovely, thanks again
In shaping the next evolution of Earplug, our journey began with the newest noise canceling headphones shaping the future of personal audio. Apple AirPods Pro 3. Sony WH-1000XM6. Bose QuietComfort Ultra. Three great headphones with different approaches to sound. We spent months working with each one, exploring their unique strengths, testing their limits, and realizing just how far engineered silence could go when paired with hardware built at this level.
That realization changed the way Earplug works.
As we tuned the system for these devices, we found something unexpected. Silence is not one thing. Each headphone model created a different character of quiet. The Apple AirPods Pro 3 offered precise spatial filtering. The Sony WH-1000XM6 delivered adaptive depth and shaping. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra brought a rich, natural softness to the soundspace. Earplug now blends into those strengths to deliver calm that feels physical.
Picture standing at the beach. Waves rushing. Wind curling around you. Shorebirds carrying across the water. It is beautiful. It is loud. Put on these headphones and Earplug does something new. The beach stays the beach. The air stays alive. But the roar dissolves. You hear space. You hear clarity. You hear quiet with dimension.
The system reads live frequencies in motion and reshapes silence in real time. Mountains. Cities. Airports. Bedrooms. Each environment has its own texture. Earplug gives each one its own quiet.
What started with three extraordinary headphones became a breakthrough in how silence feels. Apple AirPods Pro 3. Sony WH-1000XM6. Bose QuietComfort Ultra. Each helped Earplug evolve. Each now delivers more because of it.
Silence has its own sound. That is Earplug.
