About this tool
Play free white noise, pink noise or brown noise right in your browser, with a sleep timer that fades out gently. Use it to sleep, focus, study or cover up background sounds. There are no ads between tracks, nothing to download, and it keeps playing as long as you need.
Quick answer: Choose white, pink, brown or fan-like noise, set the volume and an optional sleep timer, then press Play. You can switch sounds while it plays, and it fades out smoothly when the timer ends.
White, pink and brown noise: what is the difference?
| Sound | What it is | Sounds like |
|---|---|---|
| White noise | Equal energy at every frequency | Bright hiss, like a radio between stations |
| Pink noise | Energy falls as pitch rises, equal per octave | Softer, like steady rain |
| Brown noise | Energy falls faster, mostly low sounds | Deep rumble, like a waterfall or strong wind |
| Fan-like | Brown noise with the highs filtered out | Muffled whoosh, like a fan in the next room |
Many people find pink or brown noise more comfortable for long listening, because it has less of the high hiss that white noise has. Try each one for a minute and keep the one you like.

FAQ
Does it keep playing with the screen off?
On most computers, yes. Some phones pause web audio when the screen locks, so keep the screen on (dimmed) or plug the phone in overnight.
Is there a loop or gap?
No. The noise is generated in your browser and blended at the loop point, so there is no click or pause.
Does it use mobile data?
Only to load the page. The sound itself is made on your device, so playing it for hours uses no data.
