The Best Free White Noise Apps for Android [July 2019]

Many people find white noise soothing. It can be used during work to increase productivity and help with focus. On the other hand, you can use it chill out during a break from work, before taking a nap, or even before going to sleep at night.

Many developers took notice of the increased use of white noise and made apps for both Android and iOS devices. In case you own an Android phone and want to find the best free white noise apps, you are in the right place.

The best place to find white noise apps is the Google Play Store. There are plenty of apps available there, but here are our top five recommendations.

Top 5 Free White Noise Apps for Android

Some people use white noise machines, which are not bad, but they cost money. You probably already have a smartphone, so why not download a free app? All you need is some cellular data or, even better, a Wi-Fi connection.

Here are some of the best choices of white noise apps for Android devices.

myNoise

myNoise is one of the best white noise apps on the market. It offers tons of customization and sound options absolutely free of charge. Besides white noises which resemble radio static, you can listen to brown noise, which is a bit heavier (heavy rain, for example), or pink noise, such as smooth sounds of the wind.

This app also features noises such as bells or the ocean, and there is even a binaural beat generator. The best part is that this app runs in the background, even if you’re playing music in another app. The sounds will then blend together, which is great for people who, for example, like mixing music with the sounds of rain.

Relax Melodies

Relax Melodies is a freemium app, which means that it features in-app purchases, but they are optional. It is unique because you can play several white noises simultaneously. You can create your own mix of sounds with additional instrumentals and melodies.

This app has a neat UI and is easy to navigate. There is also a section for guided meditation, but that is not the app’s primary function. This is a great productivity app and sleeping app. The app also features a timer which is very useful for creating a routine.

Baby Sleep

Baby Sleep is a white noise app for babies developed by Relaxio. The whole theme revolves around babies and it is really cute and easy to use. The sounds are divided into categories, such as appliance sounds (vacuum, washing machine, etc.), sounds of rain, animals, etc.

There are also alarm and timer features, which can be useful for putting your baby to sleep and following a routine. The only downsides of this app are that you can’t add new sounds, and you also can’t record your voice.

Luckily, instead of your lullabies, you can play them the ones which are built into the app. This app is ad-supported, but the ads are in no way intrusive and thus won’t affect the performance of the app.

White Noise Generator

White Noise Generator is an adult version of the Baby Sleep app. The customization is the key feature of this app and that’s why it’s called a white noise generator. You can mix many sounds together until you find a perfect blend.

The app works in the background as well. You can mix different nature sounds together and feel like you are in a forest, by the river, while you’re sitting at your desk and working. This could result in a big morale boost and a sharper focus. This app is free, but there are some ads which aren’t unbearable.

Atmosphere

Atmosphere, also known as Relaxing Sounds, is exactly as you would imagine. It has tons of sounds, from binaural noises to city sounds, sounds of nature, and much more. You can combine these sounds as you please and save them for later use.

For example, you can mix the sounds of beach waves and birds singing and create a sensation of a tropical paradise in the comfort of your own home. There is a timer option, so you can save battery and use the app only when you want to.

It is also an ad-supported app, but it is free and runs smoothly on any Android past version 4.1.

Relax and Enjoy

The purpose of white noise apps is to make you comfortable while you do other things. It can be working, it can be relaxing, or even putting your baby to sleep.  White noise apps can also help you fight insomnia and get better sleep at night, thus also helping improve your focus the next day.
