First time this is reported to me. Please check the last slider. It produces sonic content above 16 kHz. You may have pushed that slider to the max because of a possible hearing loss. Although the sound you hear is quiet, the acoustic pressure may be higher. This is the only reason I can think of...

Actually I did -- well, to about 80% max. My calibrated profile looked a little like an inverted bell curve.

Pink noise can be found under White Noise (because all myNoise noise generators are spectrally-tunable, there is no reason to have different color noise generators: the white noise generator can be shaped to any imaginable color, and a pink noise preset is already provided for you).

This is really great. I listen to sounds like this alot as I find they help me focus. I've used environmental recordings of rain, storms, and ocean waves for years (decades, actually) and I usually loop them in Banshee while I work. I've seen a few of these noise generators in the past but never really came back to them because they weren't superior to my recordings. Your generator, however, is exceptional. One reque…

Hi Guys! I am the developer of the myNoise website and just want to say that all your comments are a great source of inspiration today: many suggestions for further improvements will be taken into account!

Great site, but the generators are pretty CPU intensive. Is it the nature of Web audio API, or just heavy computation in your particular case? kmix is really overloaded in KDE when the generator is running (using PulseAudio).

Quick suggestion:

A "mute all" button. I like having multiple layers of sounds open at once. Sometimes I need to mute them to watch a video or something, and it's a hassle to go through muting each one.
