White Noise for Staying On Task
For adults with ADHD, distractions can make staying on task a more significant challenge than usual.
If you have trouble shutting out the world when you need to study, write, paint, spark creativity, sleep, or get down to business at work, this free service is perfect for your needs.
Often someone who has ADHD can think better and stay on task longer if there is some white noise in her surroundings—maybe softly playing music, a fan in the corner, or the hum from an overhead air vent. So far, researchers have found benefits for those with inattention but not impulsivity, but the benefits of white noise don’t continue when it is no longer present. In the real world, people cannot control the sounds that surround them throughout the day. Although researchers are exploring whether white noise may provide complementary support for some people with inattentive ADHD, the evidence is inconclusive.
Research on white noise for inattentive ADHD
Most research on white noise has focused on children still in elementary or middle school; however, the results seem to be applicable also to teens and adults. For adults working from home at this time, having white noise available could be beneficial when it comes to staying on task.

GREEN NOISE for the win!!!!I’ve had this app for a couple of years now and it’s the only app that I can actually fall asleep to or complete work with and the reason being is because there is no notable loop of the white noise. For those with ADHD and extreme pattern recognition I’m sure you can relate to not being able to use basically any electronic version of a sound machine due to the looping. If I’m in a busy setting in public or an office, I can always put my headphones and turn this app on and disappear while staying in the room. Thank you!!!

I’m a full time student. Homework is 7 days a week. 19 hours a day thanks to my ADHD. I take a stim in the morning to focus and quiet my thoughts. I take sleep meds that eventually help, but my brain doesn’t shut off. Used this app for the first time last night… then my alarm went off to go to school. It was the best sleep I’ve had in a really long time.
I like this app but...

Ok. So hi to everyone reading this! I encourage you to get this app but first, listen to this review. This app is pretty good but first of all why pay money when you just want to sleep? I mean it’s quite annoying! I mean I am quite broke and I still want to try the sounds but I can’t. Second, is this app only for people with 80HD? Or is that just the name of the app? Last, I like this app. It’s not bad. You should try it! Ok, byeeee
Absolute Necessity
Ve’ Gana Kale
As a person that has been diagnosed with ADHD Combined Type, I have found that any slight noise can be a distraction to me and cause me to lose my focus on my task at hand, and become fixated on the source of the noise.Therefore, a good pair of noise cancellation headphones, and this app are absolute necessities for me. My medications and this app are crucial for my ability to focus and concentrate.

- The sounds screen no longer flickers between a loader and an empty list on launch, and coming back from the paywall shows your sounds instantly instead of reloading them.
- Language switching (Auto / English / Deutsch) actually works now — it applies instantly, syncs across your devices, and Auto correctly detects Spanish and Portuguese phones.
