White Noise Lite Reviews

by Swopinator

WhiteNoiseLite earned my 5-star rating until I learned its one very inconvenient hiccup. It, without a doubt, has the best sound of any I’ve heard yet - even better than my embarrassingly high-priced standalone sound machine. Truly, the only drawback is that you can’t go into any other apps without the sound turning off. For some people who may use WhiteNoiseLite only for sleep that is absolutely no problem. For me, however, that is a more bothersome problem as I use my phone for contacting clients, navigation, scheduling appointments, etc. When my relaxing zen mindset is interrupted because I need to answer an email, it takes me a good few minutes to get back in the zone. If they ever allow WhiteNoiseLite to continue in the background while using other apps, I would gladly reinstate my five star rating.

I’ve been using the free version of WhiteNoiseLite for years, and love the quality and variety of the sounds, but it completely drains the battery of my iPhone every time. Last night I had my iPhone charged to 97%, turned it on battery saver mode, and closed all other apps and location services off, before turning on the White Noise and setting an alarm for 8 hours later. White Noise was the only app running on my phone. Woke up when the white noise turned off 8 hours later and my phone was completely dead. The battery drain happens every time I use WhiteNoiseLite without my phone being on the charger, whether I start at 40% battery or 100%. I prefer not to keep my phone on the charger overnight for several reasons - fire safety, protect battery life - but I can’t risk using WhiteNoiseLite and missing an important alarm due to a dead phone.

I have used WhiteNoiseLite consistently for years. I have even logged over 100 days of listening! I prefer it to other white noise, such as the kind offered by paid apps such as Sleep Cycle or Headspace. There really is just nothing that works as well. However, WhiteNoiseLite was just updated and now my sounds aren’t working. I hit play and nothing comes out. I’m not sure if this is a glitch on my end (I just imported my first sound from the White Noise Marker, though I would hope that doesn’t break my app). However I am pretty sure it’s related to the new update. I’m not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but I would love a fix so I can use this fantastic app again!

TL;DR— This is a fantastic app (the best for white noise) and I would rate it 5 stars if the most recent update had not rendered it unusable.

You will literally wake up feeling like a goddess. Listen people life is crankin. Constant sleep deprivation is a way of life. I wish I'd been the guy who invented Starbucks because regardless of what anyone tells you that's what America runs on and I'd be a millionaire. Sleep had become a distant memory in my life, like a lover from the past. THEN. WAIT FOR IT. Like a sunny day in the black of winter, WhiteNoiseLite rushed in and turned my world upside down. It was a whole new world, literally a dazzling place I never knew. Now I drift off to sleep to the sound of running water and when I awake I feel as if I've been handed free ice cream on a sweltering day. I feel alight, refreshed, and full of new belief that I will make it. I can conquer. No longer will I live like a cyborg with no feeling and complete disdain from lack of sleep. I can be better. I can be anything. Most days, I want to be BEYONCÉ. So...if you're weary, if you're tired, if you're running out of options, get WhiteNoiseLite, because your worth it and you too can Bey anything your wanna Bey.

I have a lot of trouble shutting off my mind and blocking out noises when trying to slow down and go to sleep or focus. The sounds help me block out the noises that keep me alert and light sleeping. I love the night crickets, they take me back to my childhood home in the mountains of Virginia in my parents log cabin. In that familiarity I am relaxed and at peace. I have been using WhiteNoiseLite for a week now and it has helped with my sleep quality tremendously. I have started using the other white noise options as well at work when studying new plan reviews and projects. I intended to use it more and more in my day to day life for relaxation and meditation. Highly recommended and it is life changing.

I love WhiteNoiseLite already !! I just downloaded it and already created my own mixes of white noise(s)! There are SO MANY options to pick from! You can listen from only one white noise of your choice and set how long to play the sound and when. Personalize/ create your own white noise mixes), as well as the duration of time! A special option to detail (love this) your own clock! U can pick a digital or modern clock as well as whatever (there’s many) color you like. Which will be displayed while white noise is playing, if you’d like. I can go on, but I give WhiteNoiseLite 5 stars!! I especially appreciate this particular app for all of the (free) options .

I have not been able to sleep well for a very long time, as a result of mental health issues, homework, and other stressors. It would take three melatonin pills, a heavy fan, and a humidifier in my room to get me to sleep more than 8 hours. Even after sleeping for 12 hours, more than three times my normal sleep time, I woke up feeling half dead. I consumed a lot of caffeine as a result, with 2-3 coffees a day and a red bull in the mornings. I needed help, and my doctor/neighbor/friend recommened WhiteNoiseLite. I had tried other white noise apps before, but none really worked. This was not the case for WhiteNoiseLite! Never had I used a white noise app with so many options. The volume and several other settings are adjustable, and the diversity and range for WhiteNoiseLite is astounding. My struggles were almost cured, I can sleep longer and less fitfully without drugs. I wake up feeling refreshed to some degree. The best part- it's free!!! 10/10, would recommend.

Living in third world countries as a family of missionaries, WhiteNoiseLite has helped us immensely to make any sleeping environment instantly normal. Same noise, same deafening of ambience, and four fantastic sleeping children is a HUGE PLUS! We have even used this white noise app in airports while our little ones napped on benches. Seriously, this is a lifesaver and I am so thankful we stumbled across WhiteNoiseLite years ago. I wish I could rate higher than 5 stars because WhiteNoiseLite has never had a single flaw or problem in the 4 years we have had it. Same trusty app for years and years of amazing sleep. And my kiddos even enjoy playing with the different sounds to kill time too. Thank you, for this OUTSTANDING app!!!!

This has been a great app that I have used for years. I would give it 5 stars until the last update. Recently, after the last update, it drains my iPad. Today, my iPad wasn’t in use from the time I got out of bed until I sat down to relax for the evening. 14.5 hours later, my iPad had gone from 100% battery charge to 7%. It’s a new iPad Pro so it’s not a battery issue. I have been closing WhiteNoiseLite in the morning and did it again this morning because I thought that would prevent the battery drain. Apparently not. I rechecked to make sure that I had closed it down and I had. I checked the battery status in the settings and it shows that WhiteNoiseLite was the culprit. Please fix this. Thanks.

I absolutely love WhiteNoiseLite!!!! I’ve already picked a handful of the sounds on it as my favorites for any time I just want a little peace and relaxation!!!! WhiteNoiseLite is perfect for that!!!! My only issue is the fact that every sound comes with it’s own photo, for example, the “stream water flowing” sound comes with a photo of a flowing stream. These are beautiful pictures. So it sort of bothers me that I can’t seem to get rid of the buttons at the bottom of the screen. Meaning, play, fast forward, etc. . In short, I’d really appreciate it if you would please fix this issue. Otherwise, WhiteNoiseLite is one of my favorites! Thanks for the great work!

Everyone should have WhiteNoiseLite then learn how to use it to make your life better. I’ve had WhiteNoiseLite since my first smart phone and I still love it. We have 8 children now and I love to travel and visit a variety of places. WhiteNoiseLite makes it so easy to help them have a good nights sleep wherever we are. We can all sleep in the same room if needed and not be terribly worried we’ll wake up like sleep-deprived Zombies. I absolutely love the clock feature! When in landscape, I’m able to see the time from across the room with a color of my choice conducive to our needs. This is especially helpful if the phone needs to be particularly close to a certain child. It is so nice to see the time at anytime through out the night without even touching my device. It is my travel sanity. It is also handy when mom (or anyone) needs to catch a nap, but the background noise is a bit too much (even when they are trying to be quiet) or I need to be in the same room, but want to override their whispers to concentrate better.

I love WhiteNoiseLite so much and whenever I go on vacation I won’t fall asleep without it. It has so many sound like airplane, rain, cat purring, and lots more and there’s like light rain, heavy rain, and extreme rain, and you can even change the sound with a wide range of volume. I also love how you can make a mix with different sounds including the ones you recorded yourself, yes you can record your own sounds and mix them with others, making the volume for one loud and one soft you can even completely customize the volume differences. I love WhiteNoiseLite so much and want to thank the developers for making it! Don’t even think twice if you are looking for a noise app GET THIS ONE!!!!

I got very accustomed to the noise of an idling engine to create that white noise while on the job. Used the little fans to create some sort of white noise and they are pretty awesome and have done the trick but over the years the motors have gotten QUIETER and the arent as efficient at creating that turbine engine sound. Plus it can be a pain to travel with the small fan... ( takes up too much room !! ) White noise really blocks out noise! Ive only used the air conditioner sound and its great for travel since all i needis the ear buds. Last monday I stayed at a motel room in Kenley, NC. and I slept so hard and actually woke myself up 2 times from my snoring because the White Noise app worked so well!! Let it be known I was WELL RESTED & HAPPY for the long day ahead because of WhiteNoiseLite! I recommend.

I live in an apartment and have two small dogs, one of whom barks at every voice, every car door, every other animal she hears in the parking lot. I used to keep the TV, radio, or floor fan running to muffle the street noises so she didn't hear them. With WhiteNoiseLite I was able to record the sound of the fan running and play that instead over a bluetooth speaker sitting next to her bed. No more TV or radio playing when I don't want to listen to it! The "fan" sound totally calms her and keeps her from barking, all without running a real fan. I feel this way is safer, cheaper, etc. AND, an added bonus is the volume control. I can turn the white noise on at a lower volume level than the volume of the floor fan and get the same result. WhiteNoiseLite is a daily stable in my home.

Been using WhiteNoiseLite since my baby was 1 month. After 3 hrs of my baby nonstop crying because he fights his sleep & momma wasn’t getting any sleep my husband took him to the bathroom and turned the faucet (a tip from his pediatrician) and he instantly fell out! Of course it annoyed me that my husband had him for 2 mins and he put him to sleep. So I did some research and found WhiteNoiseLite. Thank god, if not for WhiteNoiseLite our water bill would’ve made us homeless. I am able to sleep train with it and it also puts my husband to sleep which is a plus! Now my baby knows what time it is when he hears “heavy rain” and it’s convenient because you can use your phone normal while it’s on. So get your Bluetooth speakers and leave it at their crib side and Go about your business with your phone.

When I was pregnant with my first child I didn’t know what I was getting into. Apparently I was pregnant with an owl because all my child did was sleep in the day and dance in the night. I thought that because I was swaying her in the day but laying still in the night might have been the reason this was happening, I was wrong . When she was born she never went to sleep . It’s like she always wanted to know what was happening, well I couldn’t blame her because I’m like that too. But I had noticed something. When I moved to our duplex we lived by the ocean, had a stream by our house ,and when we moved in it was raining a lot. I had been using white noise because I had the same problem. WhiteNoiseLite has saved me so much trouble ! Should really check it out!

I am literally addicted to white noise because I can not stand silence. It’s constantly on at home and I also keep on constantly at work. (Luckily I have a private office). If I’m in a room in my house where I don’t have a white noise machine, I use WhiteNoiseLite. I also use WhiteNoiseLite when I travel instead of packing one of my machines because It’s so much easier. I like the variety of noise WhiteNoiseLite offers—pink noise is my favorite. The volume is great- it definitely goes up loud enough to not only block out silence, but also block out unwanted noise. I have peace of mind knowing that if one of my white noise machines stops working that I can just use WhiteNoiseLite until it can be replaced, and I’ll still have decent white noise. I definitely prefer WhiteNoiseLite over the Marpac Dohm white noise machine, which is one of the top white noise machines on the market. This is a great app, and I highly recommend it.

As my anxiety has gotten worse it has gotten harder to quiet my mind at night, and I often found myself lying awake for hours even with my ambient sounds (from another app). Listening to podcasts helps calm my mind but the intro music/laughter/inconsistent volume/etc. can make them difficult to sleep to. I researched ambient noise apps that could play with other audio and fortunately found this one! You can even adjust the audio balance between the two. Now I fall asleep quickly to my favorite podcast/rain noise combination :) The customization options are really impressive, especially for a free app! My only suggestion is that the audio balance could be pushed even further as the podcast audio is still quite loud even at the lowest setting, but WhiteNoiseLite has been such a blessing I really cannot complain.

WhiteNoiseLite is really great, and it lets you choose from a bunch of different sounds, such as rain, ocean waves, camp fire and many more! It also includes kinda strange sounds like vacuum, hair dryer, crowded room and heartbeat. My favorite sound is cars driving, and if you combine it with rain on a car roof, it’s very relaxing! Oh yeah, you can combine sounds! If you create mix, you can combine as many sounds as you want to create a really good sound! Some good one are rain storm and cat purring, cars and rain on a car roof, and ocean, wind, fire, and jungle! You can also record your own sounds! You can record something out in nature, or something at home if you’re going on a long trip, and if you get sick of the sounds they have, there’s a website where you can download additional sounds put up by the community completely for free! I’m gonna stop now, cause I sound like a commercial. 10/10 would white noise again!

I love WhiteNoiseLite. I quite literally can’t sleep without it. I have been using it for many years; however, with version 7.4.4, I have begun to experience a sleep-interrupting problem, the volume unexpectedly (and on its own) suddenly increases to full. I sleep with head phones plugged in (so the brown noise doesn’t disturb my wife). I will be fully asleep and then suddenly the volume will go full blast, jolting me awake. The volume control stops responding. I turn it down, but it immediately returns to full blast. This happens until I close WhiteNoiseLite completely. I have an iPhone 7 running iOS 12.0.1. I use standard Apple headphones. Again, no problems for years. This probable started after I updated WhiteNoiseLite . Still love WhiteNoiseLite , though.

Before I found WhiteNoiseLite I was sleeping with my hairdryer on at night. I have MS and nights are harder for me to fall sleep. I can sleep like a baby in the daytime. With the white noise app I don't need my hairdryer and I fall asleep within 15 minutes.
I set the timer to shut off and never even hear it turn off. I don't use many of the different sounds but two so the lite version is good enough for me. I recommend WhiteNoiseLite to friends and will continue to use it.
The only down fall is I wish WhiteNoiseLite would stay open when going off the screen. You can't do anything with the sound on. If you go anywhere else on phone WhiteNoiseLite stops.

Best app ever! I've had WhiteNoiseLite for about a year now and I listen to it when I've had a long day and need a quick nap, it puts me to sleep right away within minutes the sounds are so soothing! Love how you can mix and match the sounds as well, some of the sounds overpower the others but you can now make one sound louder and another sound quieter. Which is great.
I also listen to this when I fall asleep at night, and waking up to the sounds of a fire with crickets chirping with a river flowing, man oh man it's great! I love the outdoors so it makes me feel like I'm actually camping or backpacking but I'm in the comfort of my own bed! 10/10 would recommend.

When I got sick with leukemia, a type of blood cancer, I was in hospital for what seemed like forever. It was loud, unpredictable and, at times, terrifying. WhiteNoiseLite allowed me to get peaceful and restful sleep, allowing for better moods and healing times. I cannot sleep without a fan and I wasn’t allowed one in my hospital room so I had the next best thing: your application. Being able to mix and play with sounds has made my sleep to be better than it was even before I got sick.
Thank you so much.
Please consider availing your technology to local hospitals or cancer clinics. It’s given my tiny clinic in Fairbanks, Alaska, an opportunity to help their patients stay calm, relax, and drown out the heartbreaking, and sometimes extraordinarily scary, noise of fighting cancer.

I love WhiteNoiseLite so much! We have a 2 month old who still sleeps in our room at night and he loves the brown noise and ocean waves crashing. We turn WhiteNoiseLite on with our phone or iPad and he is asleep within seconds. The background noise has also helped him to start sleeping through the night now that he doesn't hear cars beeping and the neighbors dogs barking at random hours of the night. I also love using WhiteNoiseLite when I need a quick power nap during the day and I don't want to hear the tv downstairs or my husband and daughter talking. I never take the time to rate apps but this one deserves it!!
