Many writers find it hard to get their creative juices flowing in complete silence. Why do you think so many of us flock to the nearest coffee shop like it’s the only source of caffeine for miles, even though most of us have our own machines at home (because who can live without coffee)? Still, getting out can be hard for some writers, namely those with other responsibilities, so I’ve compiled a list of my five ambient background noise generators to listen to while I’m writing… and sipping my own homemade caramel macchiato frappuccino with two pumps of vanilla.

  1. Coffitivity recreates the ambient sounds of a cafe to boost your creativity and help you work better. Proven and peer reviewed, see the research to learn more. Block Distracting Apps and Websites with Freedom. Whether meeting a work deadline or studying – we all need a little help staying free from distractions. Use Freedom to block.
  2. MyNoise’s noise machines are encompassed by an extensive library of background ambient tracks for the user to choose from. The sounds are separated in categories. Clicking on a sound brings you to another tab with the related sound.
  3. Sure, there are hundreds of white noise apps and sites out there, but only a few of them can actually help you focus and stay productive. Here are some great ones, you don’t want to miss: 1 For fun Relax with a multitude of combinations of the ambient noise generator called Defonic. This web-based app features interactive illustrations that.

Online Ambient Noise Generator

myNoise is the holy grail of ambient noise generators (hence why it’s number one on the list). Anything you could want to listen to is on this website, from crashing ocean waves to coffee shop conversations. And the best part: you get to play with the volume of different sounds within the soundscape you’re listening to. Pretty cool, right? This website is totally free and easy to use; the only downside would be getting lost in all the different options!

2. Hipstersound

Hipstersound is another great website for ambient noise, especially different variations of cafes. There are loads to choose from and again, you can adjust certain sounds to layer on top of your coffee shop sounds. The sleek, minimalistic design keeps you from getting too distracted, and there are just enough options to ensure variety but keep you focused. The only problem is that to unlock all the soundscapes, you have to buy a premium version of the site. The free ones are definitely worth checking out, though.

3.YouTube

Ambient Noise Generator

I know what you’re thinking:YouTube? Why would she recommend YouTube, everyone knows what that is! But listen: there are so many videos to listen to, some even hours on end. You can find Hogwarts Common Room soundscapes (yes, even Hufflepuff), thousands of hour-long indie music playlists, and every piece Hans Zimmer has ever composed (for when that intense scene needs a little extra oomph). My favorite channels for music are ‘BLUME,’ ‘alexrainbirdmusic,’ and ‘ASMR rooms.’ All three make tons of hour-long playlists that are perfect for background music.

4. Ambient Mixer

Ambient Mixer is yet another wonderful site for fandom-based soundscapes. This unique website includes a whole community of people who have created a variety of soundscapes, from Rivendell to the TARDIS to the grounds of Hogwarts. While this website doesn’t feature the sleek, minimalistic design of a few others, the great community and countless options make up for it entirely. Just try not to get lost making your own perfect soundscape!

5. Relax Melodies

I decided to mention my favorite ambient noise app, Relax Melodies, for those of you who’ll be writing on the go. To unlock every soundscape, you have to buy the premium version, but the free version has more than enough options to choose from, especially as far as nature sounds go. There are literally six different free ocean soundscapes.

This app is designed to help you fall asleep better, so if you’re a night writer, I wouldn’t recommend using it, or you might fall asleep with a pen in your hand! But it’s great for on the go, writing peaceful scenes, and sleep (sleep is important, regardless of how much caffeine aids you throughout your day).

If ambient noise isn’t improving your writing enough, maybe accepting mediocrity will help. Find out why here.

Welcome to Noises Online!

Noise isn't always the chatty colleague in your open-plan office, or the sound of your tinnitus when you go to sleep. Though the word 'noise' has acquired a negative connotation, it can be beautiful, such as the sound of the ocean, the rain, or a field in the summer.

The idea behind an online background noise machine like this website, is to make use of the noises you like to mask the noises you dislike. The concept is simple, works extremely well, and does not require expensive equipment, such as active noise cancelling headphones.

Because these noises are available through a web browser, you can pick the sounds you like the best. You can adjust their relative levels to achieve perfectly well-balanced background noise to boost your productivity, increase your focus, deepen your meditation session, or fall asleep at night. The uses of a noise machine are extremely varied!

Noises Online differs from other background noise generators by its pristine audio quality and the variety of sounds available from one single web page. These sounds are original recordings – not stock sounds – taken from my sampling sessions for myNoise, another website of mine. myNoise is probably the best background noise generator on the internet. It offers an unsurpassed number of noises and is second to none for customizing sound. It even takes your hearing thresholds into account! It's complexity and cluttered user interface may discourage the newcomer though. This is how Noises Online came to life: as a much simpler alternative to myNoise, offering the same audio quality through the easiest user interface one can think of.

Sound Machine Noise Online

Noises Online is free to use, but it isn't free for me to maintain. Development and support costs aside, I have to pay the hosting fees and the expenses of using a content delivery network (CDN) which replicates all my audio files to the server nearest to you. This means the website loads as fast as possible. This service has a much higher cost than regular hosting. If you like my work and want to support Noises Online, consider making a donation at myNoise. As I am running both sites, one supports the other. Plus, you will be granted lifetime privileged access to myNoise, which – I am sure – you'll enjoy too!

With passion and love,
