Noisli
Create and customize soundscapes with various natural sounds and volume levels for personal use.
What is Noisli?
Noisli is a sound customisation tool that lets you create and mix natural soundscapes to suit your environment and mood. It offers a library of sounds like rain, forest ambience, coffee shop chatter, and white noise that you can layer together and adjust individually. The tool is designed for people who work, study, or relax better with background sound; it helps mask distractions and establish focus without requiring music or podcasts. The freemium model means you can start for free with basic sounds and upgrade for access to more options and features. It works across multiple devices, making it easy to maintain your preferred soundscape whether you're at your desk, on your phone, or moving between locations.
