Very nice. I quite like the fan option; don't think I've seen it in other noise generators. The drone of it is good. A 'warehouse fan' option that's a little more bass-y and a little slower would be cool.

For some reason fans / lawnmower type sounds have always been the most relaxing for me, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcxeZ4Wwdn0 (edit: and now that I post that, a lawnmower sound would be fantastic, but I don't know how much of a weird outlier I am.)

Don't want to hurt you, dear friend, but a lawnmower sound is quite strange to relax

Very nice. Do you know why it caps out at 5 or 6 sounds for me? Once I've loaded that many sounds, even if I've turned them back off, I can't play any others unless I reload the page. Edit: Actually I think it's just slow loading. I think it might be useful to have a play/stop toggle instead of having to turn all of the components off.

Tryed with 10 sound at once, works good on my side.

But I completly agree, the fan is too bassy for me also

Could it be that it's not the sound itself but the association with lazy summer weekend afternoons, lawnmower in the distance, that is the relaxing part?
