WhiteNoise: Relax & Listen to White Noise on iPhone

]]> Not so long we reviewed a website called SimplyNoise, an online white noise generator. This time we got a similar app specifically for iPhone users. WhitePhone is an iPhone application that provides you with variety of soothing sounds (beach waves, crickets, rain forest etc.) to help you relax and concentrate.

From the page:

“Would you like to sleep better? Or maybe just need help relaxing? Are you in a hotel and miss the familiar sound of your fan or air conditioner? Flying on a plane and just want to nap? White Noise provides ambient sounds of the environment to help you relax or sleep. Includes high quality looping noises such as waves crashing on a beach, crickets chirping at night, and the soothing sound of rain fall.”

The app works pretty simple, just choose the noise you want to hear, adjust the volume, set timer, lay back and relax. You can choose between beach waves, crickets, rain forest, wind chimes, fan, TV static, air conditioner, grandfathers clock sounds.
