Best for Sleep
- Cortisol Regulation: Calming sounds switch the nervous system from sympathetic (fight/flight) to parasympathetic (rest/digest).
- Sound Masking: Steady noise raises the threshold of hearing, preventing "startle responses" caused by sudden car horns or dog barks.
- Snoring Partner: Use "Brown Noise" or "White Noise" to mask the variable frequencies of snoring.
Cozy sound profile
- Cozy sounds are designed to trigger feelings of warmth, safety, and hygge. They often feature "close" proximity sounds—rain hitting a window right next to you, or a fire crackling a few feet away.
- Stress Reduction: Immediate lowering of cortisol levels by simulating a safe environment.
- Reading Nook: "Fireplace" + "Rain on Window" is the classic, unbeatable reading combo.
Listening tips
- Start Grey Noise at a comfortable background volume, then raise it only enough to mask distractions.
- Mix Grey Noise with one or two related sounds to add texture without making the scene busy.
- For sleep or long focus sessions, keep the loop steady and use the timer when you want it to fade out.
