Android app in the works?

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

I would love to try this on Android. Hope it comes out soon.

There are many excellent generators on that page, but Anamnesis is my favourite - a noir, sci-fi world awaits: http://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/anamnesisSoundscapeGenerato...

Blade Runner-ish. I like it, too.

Even though I know this isn't a real kitty purring in my ear, I can sense myself feeling relaxed and soothed by this as if it were a drug. I've heard that petting a cat or dog lowers a person's blood pressure. I bet hearing cat purrs does, too. I recently read the book Influence which describes a myriad of ways people and animals have automatic responses to various stimuli; I wonder if this is that kind of thing.

Dev here. So surprised to hear my cat purring a lot this morning, and then realised it was featured on HN today! :) To celebrate this, the Cat Purr IAP on myNoise's iOS App has been set to Tier 0, so you can all enjoy the same sound on your iOS device for free as well! ( https://itunes.apple.com/be/app/mynoise/id813099896?mt=8 )

Hi there! Just wanted to say this would be amazing if you added in-time vibration.

A perfect complement for coffitivity[1], the cafe noise generator. Now I can get to work.

While it's certainly no replacement for a purring cat pressing down upon your lap, the "sleeping" preset is SPOT-ON. Great work :)

I like these kinds of concepts; simple and can really improve productivity when being played in the background. There is another app for coffee shops: https://coffitivity.com/

Although you can't modulate SFX, its still nice to run in the background.
