What is Calm Noise?

Calm Noise is a sound generation tool designed to help users focus, sleep, or mask distracting speech and ambient noise. It produces gentle, continuous background sounds such as white noise, brown noise, and nature-inspired audio that can improve concentration or create a more peaceful environment for rest. The tool works by providing customisable audio frequencies that mask unwanted sounds; this is particularly useful in open offices, shared spaces, or noisy neighbourhoods where external speech or activity disrupts work or sleep. Available on a freemium basis, Calm Noise offers core functionality without cost, with additional features available to paid subscribers.
