The developer of this app receives no points for presentation but I should note that the interface is wonderfully simple and generic so you can easily switch among each type of white noise to see which one works best for you.
There are many different sleep aid apps available in the App Store and if you’re still trying to find one that works well for you then you’d definitely be doing yourself a service by checking out Sleep Mask (FREE).
Colorful Noises
When you first start up this app you’ll be presented with a basic selection of eight different types of noise, which are as follows:
-
White Noise
-
Pink Noise
-
Brown Noise (Soft)
-
White Noise (Wave)
-
Brown Noise (Wave)
-
Pink Noise (Wave)

Each one of these is a variation of white noise which has been carefully altered and manipulated to create a specific effect. For example, white noise is quite commonly known as being a somewhat high-pitched hissing sound, almost akin to radio feedback. Pink noise, on the other hand, has the bass frequencies emphasized more heavily so is ideal for those of you who prefer a slightly deeper, more resonant sound.
Relax and Sleep More Easily
If you’re new to the concept of white noise then you might think that this all sounds like a bunch of hokum. While some sleep aid apps are more effective than others, I would definitely say that there is some legitimacy to white noise and what it can do to alter your brainwaves and improve the quality of your sleep.

Having a constant drone or sound of some kind is also very useful for meditation as it provides a consistent focal point so you can focus your mind and allow yourself to gradually switch off and relax.
