Build the exact sound that puts you out — or let the app build it for you in under a minute. A real fan, plus rain, ocean, or crackling fire. 75+ recordings, offline.
Fall asleep faster with the most realistic fan sounds on the App Store, then layer in rain, ocean, or a crackling fire to build the exact sound that puts you out.
If you have ever fallen asleep to the hum of a box fan, the whir of a ceiling fan, or the steady drone of an AC unit, you already know why fan noise works. It blocks out traffic, neighbors, snoring partners, and the random 3 AM sounds that pull you out of deep sleep. We built this app for people who cannot sleep without it, then we let you make that sound your own.
BUILD YOUR OWN SLEEP SOUND
Start with a fan. Then stack sounds on top, each with its own volume. A box fan under soft rain. A tower fan with distant thunder. A ceiling fan over ocean waves and a campfire. Mix it until it sounds exactly right, and the app remembers it for the next night.
WHY FAN NOISE BEATS PURE WHITE NOISE
Fan sounds cover a wider frequency range than synthesized white noise, so they mask interruptions more naturally without feeling harsh. Your brain stops scanning for sounds, your body relaxes, and you drift off, usually within minutes.

FEATURES
- Layered mixing. Combine a fan with as many sounds as you like, each on its own volume slider. Build the perfect mix once and it is there every night.
- Apple Watch app. Start, stop, and set a timer from your wrist without reaching for your phone.
- Mix with other audio. Run alongside your favorite meditation or sleep app instead of fighting it for the speaker.
- Seamless looping. Every track is engineered to loop without a pop, click, or volume drop. Play all night without noticing.
- Sleep timer with fade-out. Choose your duration and the sound gently fades instead of cutting off mid-snore.
- Background playback. Lock your screen, runs silently in the background, and is built to be light on battery.
- Lock screen and Control Center controls. Pause and adjust without unlocking.
- Works fully offline. No Wi-Fi, no streaming, no buffering. Once installed, it works on a plane, in a hotel, anywhere.
- No account, no signup, no email. Start your free trial, pick a fan, sleep.
WHO IT IS FOR
- Light sleepers who wake up at every small noise
- People sleeping next to a snorer
- Travelers in noisy hotels
- Shift workers sleeping during the day
- Students and remote workers who focus better with background noise
- Adults who grew up with a fan in their room and still cannot sleep without one
HOW IT COMPARES
Most "fan noise" apps are 3-second loops with audible seams, forced to stream over the network. We did the opposite: long, professionally tuned loops, fully offline, no account needed. Open it, pick a fan, put your phone face-down. That is it.

Faster setup
Answer a few quick questions and your first sleep mix is built, revealed, and playing in under a minute — with new animations along the way.
Fewer interruptions
The upgrade prompt no longer appears while you're starting the fan, and nothing pops up in the middle of a session. Anything that asks for your attention now goes through a single place, so it happens rarely and never at the wrong moment.
As always: 75+ real recordings, fully offline, no account.
