As a frequent Raining.fm and Coffitivity user, I find this awesome, and will definitely give it a try while working! I'd strongly recommend finding an easier name to remember/spell though. If somebody told me "go to noisli.com", I'd spell it noisely.com. Ideally it should be something that's easy to remember and speaks to its function (noisey.fm, ambient.fm, and backdrop.fm are all available domains).

Thanks for the awesome :) Give it a try and let me know how it goes :) That would be great!!

I love, recommend, and use Noisli often in our open plan office. The only tiny annoyance is that I really like the ambient cafeteria noise, and after a while I start to notice the looping! There's a very prominent bit where a lady shouts "Swwwwing!". There isn't much you can do about it though other than make the sample much longer, and it's hardly a problem. Just something I notice. Thanks for the site. I actually r…

Listen any loop enough times and you start spotting repeating noises. I've experienced this even with rain loops and it's super annoying.

We keep working on enhancing the service and its features :) Sorry for the annoyance.

I wish it would tell you somewhere that you can only have a certain amount of sounds at once, that was a bit confusing. Great work though!

The sound limitation is actually due to browsers limitation. Will keep working to enhance the experience! Thanks for the feedback!

This is great. I was using Coffitivity which has been featured oh HN before. Unfortunately they tried to launch a paid version and that didn't work out all that well. They wanted to tie it to a facebook account and I can't get on board with that strategy so I decided not to use it.

There's also the fact that they were charging either 4-5 bucks a month (can't recall exactly) for what amounted to 3 additional mp3 files. That's a tough sell.
