What is myNoise?
myNoise is a large library of background sound generators made by Stéphane Pigeon, a Belgian sound engineer. Each soundscape, from Irish Coast and Distant Thunder to Medieval Library and Japanese Garden, is built from carefully recorded layers that play in a seamless, endless loop.
Every generator comes with ten sliders that control separate layers or frequency bands, so you can turn up the rain and turn down the wind until it suits your room and your ears. New soundscapes are added regularly, and the site is ad-free.
