We keep working on enhancing the service and its features :) Sorry for the annoyance.
I have had the same problem with 'ambient sound' apps, and they eventually render them useless for me. Perhaps it would be an idea to layer two tracks of different lengths on top of each other to at least make it 'random' for longer? Have you considered this? (Other than that, great work. I might buy the iOS version soon!)

#112Is there a limit on the amount of sounds I Can activate? it seems as if after playing with combinations for a while, something gets stuck so I can activate/deactivate one of the sounds and nothing happens until I deactivate a previous one. Is this normal? Also, is there a way to cache the files locally? if I deactivate a sound and activate it 3 seconds later, it seems to have to load it again (there's a delay) instea…

#113Your core functionality is cool: I definitely would like something that allows me to mix background noises.
But why am I signing up for your service? That has nothing to do with what I want from your app. That just gets in the way of using your app.
Why is there integration with Google Drive? That has nothing to do with background sounds and those permissions aren't happening.
Okay, so you're using the Google Drive integration for your integrated text editor. Why is there a text editor integrated? I have a workflow with a text editor and unless there's something I don't know here, my text editor is better and yours is just going to get in my way. And in fact I can probably name 10 text editors that are better than yours--unless your core product is a text editor, you're probably not going to beat out folks who are actually focused on making a text-editor.
I'd pay As is, this doesn't make it any easier to get good background noise than just keeping a collection of .mp3s on my hard drive, because the interface comes with so much unnecessary cruft. Tools like this don't encourage productivity, they encourage pointless tinkering.

Unfortunately, we know about this problem :( and actually this is also a browser limitation. Definitely working to enhance this!

#119Looks like http://asoftmurmur.com/
Don't get me wrong Asoftmurmur.com is also great, and I tend to use a combination of noisli and it.

#120Honestly, this is one of those things that I'm never going to use because it's Web 2.0 and doesn't need to be.

Of course the text editor is not something for everybody. The users that do appreciate it want to write in a pleasant environment, without worrying to much on formatting. Would love to understand more how Noisli could be more useful for you. Just write me at hello (at) noisli (dot) com
