Which one are you the most proud of?

To serve as a noise blocking white noise machine (that is the main use of the site) but only with natural sounds, this one is my favourite (try with the Animate feature) : http://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/windSeaRainNoiseGenerator.p... In general, all the latest ones have my preference, as I am perfecting my skills, day by day. I am quite happy with the last one added two weeks ago: http://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/c…

our office has been listening to jungle life and absolute rain all week at work. we love your site. if/when an android app comes out i'll definitely buy it.

Android app in the works?

Yes, in the works. Maybe its dev will show up here little later today...

Is there somewhere I can subscribe to find out when the Android app is released, as I'll buy it day one, your stuff has been a life saver working in noisy environments.

We don't need noise cancelling headphones. We need cat purr generating headphones!

This is great! I was hoping to get a reaction from my cats, but they were pretty indifferent, giving me a look that said "So what? I'm still hungry."

I am addicted to having the sound of a fan when I sleep. I can trace that back to the college dorm days where we would use this really old box fan at night to generate noise to drown out whatever else was going on in the halls. And by old, I mean it was made when it was still okay to make a fan with a grill you could reach your hand through.

That fan having long since disappeared, I now rely on a mobile app to meet that need.

You can choose from a lot of other sounds on the website as well just take a look around. I really like the "Healing Water" one. Another site which was featured lately: http://rain.today/?

I've been using this website for a while, even donated some money. There are endless possibilities of sound combinations, you should have a look at the other generators on the site: http://mynoise.net/noiseMachines.php

I enjoy "Spring Walk": http://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/springWalkSoundscapeGenerat... and "Jungle Life": http://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/jungleNoiseGenerator.php

Love this. Even though it doesn't sound 100% real, it's still just such a relaxing sound, it may well become be go to work music.

I agree with you, it doesn't sound as real as I wished it to be. Cat Purr was a request of many early myNoise users. At beginning, I kept explaining all the reasons why the myNoise sound player was not designed for playing a cat purr (it was initially designed to play random-phase and flat spectrum noises such as white noise and rain) and why I wouldn't implement a cat purr. Then, I gave up and programmed it, just to…

Cat Purr is one of my favorites. I blend it with one of the water sounds, which effectively blocks out most office noise and creates a calm, soothing space.

Also, my cat freaked out a little when I played it for her.

Data center noise??? Argh. All I have to do is close my eyes and I can hear the hum.

My worst nightmare would be not being able to turn this sound off.
