Sleep Sounds 4+

After experimenting with a lot of apps, this is definitely the best, and not the most popular surprisingly. I love that they also aren’t totally money hungry with ads. It has more sounds than you would ever need, offering multiple variations of different sounds from rain against a window (my favorite) to fanblades spinning. The loops could be a tiny bit smoother but overall the sound quality is excellent and better than most things I’ve tried.

This app has everything that you could possibly need in terms of sleep sounds. Whether you’re looking for sweet little lullabies to soothe your baby or city sounds to lull you off to sleep. Nature, from lightning storm to squawking birds to waves crashing, is well represented. True white noise is also offered. I have only one complaint and that is that you aren’t able to sample the various tracks before downloading them and you pick based on a photo. A picture may saw a thousand words but it may not always be the best way to describe a sound. Download times can be up to two minutes (longer if you have especially bad WiFi) so samplers would really help. Deleting unwanted sounds is very easy though.

Has made a positive difference to my sleep. I am light sleeper, and this does two things - waterfall lulls me, and masks sounds in the environment. My wife, bless her sweet heart, can be a snorer at times. My neighbor across the way from our bedroom can be oblivious and is noisy with coming and going at all hours. The waterfall splash is good for masking the slamming car door sounds. Another sound I would enjoy is desert wind blowing through pine trees. Overall, I have derived benefit and more sleep. In our bedroom I have a Bose Mini Bluetooth speaker, leaving the iPhone out in the living room. Thanks for a sleep rescue app.
