myNoise Relax Sleep Work Reviews

I so badly want to give myNoiseRelaxSleepWork 5 stars like it would ordinarily deserve, but unfortunately the ability to mix sounds into custom “multigen” experiences, which is one of its most unique and defining features, is hampered by the fact that you will eventually lose all of your work.

If you quit myNoiseRelaxSleepWork (by swiping it up), return to it, and then go to the favorites section where all of your custom and multigen sounds are found, they will have disappeared. I figured a workaround was merely to keep myNoiseRelaxSleepWork open in the background at all times. However, today I discovered that myNoiseRelaxSleepWork had frozen and rebooted automatically. This wouldn’t be much of a problem ordinarily, but considering it resulted in all of my multigens being wiped again, it’s more than just a slight inconvenience.

I hope the developers can fix this issue because I’d love to purchase the premium package to access every sound. I will be holding off until I can actually save my crafted multigens.

Ok, so I don’t usually write reviews, but myNoiseRelaxSleepWork is so good it’s worth it. I have had it for about 10 minutes and I’m already in love. It’s super customizable, so if you don’t like the default settings for one particular sound, you can completely change it. You can customize it for yourself, or you can choose from a long list of presets. I have not yet explored all the features, but from what I can tell, myNoiseRelaxSleepWork is totally worth it. Two suggestions: Maybe have a little tutorial in the beginning? I mean, it’s not super hard to figure out on your own, but it would be nice to know about all the features up front. The second thing: I wish that myNoiseRelaxSleepWork had all the same great sounds as the website! Other than that, it’s an amazing app and I totally recommend it.

I know it sounds selfish, but I wish there was a bit more to listen to for free, like distant thunderstorm and their more ethereal ones like Anamnesis (loved distant thunderstorm with Gregorian chants, and grey noise with Anamnesis is god tier). I discovered myNoise through their website and there’s such amazing variety, and I was so excited to find out there was an app so I could turn it on to help me fall asleep, but then I discovered none of the sounds I like are available, and I don’t particularly like any of the ones that are free. And unfortunately I don’t have $5 I can just spend on a bunch of sounds. A bit sad about that, I wish I could!

Other than that I really love all the features on myNoiseRelaxSleepWork! The sliders are great (though not as advanced as they are on a browser, I noticed), and the fact you can combine sounds (which I wasn’t expecting) is so great, as well as the fact that you can set a timer so it’s not running all night draining your battery! I actually really love that feature a lot. Last night I managed to fall asleep to the temple bells and the white noise, and will try it again tonight! It’s an awesome idea for an app!

Edit: You can disregard the below review. The bug is now fixed for me even though it took a while and myNoiseRelaxSleepWork is 5 stars again. Thank you to the creators of myNoise for making myNoiseRelaxSleepWork . Hands-down best sound app for readers, writers, sounds for sleep, meditation...I could go on. Just wonderful, honestly! Not much more to add.
If anyone else is having a similar issue, try refreshing the download page and letting the sound generators roll in one at a time until everything has loaded. (As said in the developer response to this review as well) It doesn't take very long at all and when they're loaded up you can download any of them without hassle.

Old review: I used to love myNoiseRelaxSleepWork. I recently switched from an iPhone 5s to a 6s. I had previously purchased the 10 dollar package unlocking everything but suddenly I'm unable to download any generators. I've tried restoring my purchases multiple times, reinstalling myNoiseRelaxSleepWork , it's all useless. When I go to the download tab, none of the soundscapes are even available to download - they just don't appear anymore. Instead I'm left with the Tip Jar and a blank endless loading page. I don't have any use for myNoiseRelaxSleepWork until this is fixed.

I’m a highly distractible person. That’s not a problem in and of itself but when you’re working on a cubicle with people who enjoy talking all day and play the radio without headphones, it means days where I can’t get anything at all done. This is the first app that I’ve found that lets me have the perfect blend of noise - cafe sounds specifically that have no distinct speech (but still has the murmur of talking) and also allows me to tone down the sounds that I hate (rumbling and clattering of dishes). It’s perfect to mask the annoying office sounds that distract me by covering them up with noise of people that I can’t actually understand. The $10 that i paid to fully unlock all sounds was WELL worth it and i might actually get some things done now.

No other app I’ve found allows you to select a kind of noise, like rain or a colour noise, and then recalibrate or change the frequencies. I’ve been able to custom-make the perfect sounds for my sleep with myNoiseRelaxSleepWork, cancelling out all of the irritating sounds of apartment living. I really can’t do without it now! The only thing is that sometimes I return to myNoiseRelaxSleepWork to find that all of my saved custom sounds have been erased. I am still rating at 5 stars because myNoiseRelaxSleepWork is SO useful. unique, and flexible, and I don’t have that many saved sounds, but I can imagine that this is a bit of an issue for people who have created a whole library of very specific sounds.

I can go to sleep without my ringing ears driving me nuts because of one of the options on myNoiseRelaxSleepWork. I use the multi function and overlay the white bursts sound over pretty much anything and presto, less ringing in my ears. I also use some of the music generators like the electric guitar or piano sounds for concentration. There’s another one that reminds me of being a kid by the lake and all the frogs would come out and ribbit. I think it’s called Fairy Pond. I’m super impressed by myNoiseRelaxSleepWork and use it almost daily. The creators put a ton of time and effort into the quality of the sounds and compilations and it really shows. Love this!

So, honestly, if you need a FREE white noise app, there are better ones. However, a couple of dollars turns this into far and away the best background noise app in the store. It is more powerful and more customizable than others and the sounds are of higher quality. You will never hear the loop... it might not even exist in the way it does in other apps. The sliders and mixer features provide a inconceivable number of changeable background noises and environments. Some other apps may appear to have more sound options, but because of the precise way MyNoise works, the possibilities are truly limitless. Using the sliders, each sound provides a nearly infinite number of listening choices and venturing into the generator to make custom mixes opens up literally endless soundscapes.

I love MyNoise so much that I have myNoiseRelaxSleepWork and am a continual supporter of the website. I have tried them all. Every so often I will find other generators with a specific recording or two I quite like. Overall, though, this is easily the best.

5/5

I have a long history of insomnia that recently has reared its ugly head. A friend recommended the webpage and I fell in love instantly. I've already told everyone I know. From the calibration adjustment with hearing loss so you can hear the sound the way it is intended, to the authentic sounds recorded ON LOCATION, I just had to have myNoiseRelaxSleepWork. It is even better than I anticipated. It has a timer AND an alarm! Customizable calibration for each device you listen to it on! I listen to it all the time now. While I donate plasma, while I drive, through my Alexa on Bluetooth, while I sleep... $10 for a ton of customizable sounds is well worth the money. And certainly cheaper than a prescription for sleep medication. It's worked!

I have been using MyNoise online for years now and am SO happy there is an app too! I love the endless possibilities available - especially when you listen to multiple generators at once. The sounds are so clear and detailed - the quality is just so impressive. And I’m obsessed with the calibrator and animation options, it helps me make the noises so personal to my mood. Basically, the person who created this is hands down amazing and a genius in my book! Thank you for being passionate about sounds and noises, and for producing such amazing work!

If I could give one suggestion - the online website has volume buttons for the calibrator, so you can turn up your set calibration all at once. I think it would be helpful to have something similar on myNoiseRelaxSleepWork . My headphones can only go so loud, so it would be awesome to be able to turn up the calibrator without moving each individual frequency/sound.

Thank you again for making myNoiseRelaxSleepWork & website! It’s amazing!

I highly suggest everyone donate online and purchase all the sounds in myNoiseRelaxSleepWork so that this amazing work can continue and more sounds can be added 😊

The sound quality is really good (I’m listening with some Campfire headphones). I recommend that anyone who downloads myNoiseRelaxSleepWork play around with a few of the features, namely the (1) calibration, which adjusts to the frequencies of your particular hearing, and (2) the animated feature, which allows you to adjust subtle to no-so-subtle variations, breaking up the monotony by changing the colors and emphasis of the various frequencies, making it truly hypnotic.

You can purchase extra sounds. I thought it was a fair price. You can mix sounds, like many other apps, and save your mix, but you can also apply the animate feature to each sound along with the volume. Nice app.

I live in a 6 person household and have extreme noise sensitivity, to the extent that a clock ticking or someone chewing can completely throw off my concentration, so I am often overwhelmed by the everyday noise of the house. myNoiseRelaxSleepWork has changed everything! The selection and quality of soundscapes is really wonderful, it’s a one time purchase for unlimited access (as opposed to other apps that ask for a subscription and have far less content), and being able to adjust every level is a beautiful design feature. myNoiseRelaxSleepWork has improved my quality of life immensely and I imagine I will be a continued user for as long as it’s on myNoiseRelaxSleepWork Store!

I just it when I find apps that don’t just LOOK polished and professional (though many don’t anyway), but actually perform great as well. Nothing is perfect when released of course.... beta testers are usually the first people who use myNoiseRelaxSleepWork . What makes the difference is if the developer cares about their product enough to respond to (helpful) feedback, correct the bugs, and update appropriately when there are IOS changes, etc. I also think it’s classy as hell that she’s not even charging for this yet (only suggesting options for those who would like to help with this expensive project). Many other developers want you to pay a monthly subscription for pieces of half-put-together, never-updated crap now. She’s still working hard to make it perfect. That works for me.

I’ve had myNoiseRelaxSleepWork — amongst others similar to it — for a few years now, and this one is my constant go-to for those moments when I need to tune-out (when I need some beautiful yet distracting soundscapes to focus on completion of tasks); or tune-in (when I need to go deeper within to realign myself to my day and purpose).

Simply put, there are too many expensive and subscription-based apps out there that seem to do far less than this one, and the developers have my total respect and loyalty for how they approached myNoise. Not only with updates to their beautifully curated library of sounds, but bonus points for the “animation” feature within each soundscape, which brings a layer of randomness and “replay value” to each experience.

You won’t be disappointed. Period.

I’m not much of a ‘review’ writer. I appreciate those of you who do take the time to write them and bring my attention to great apps, so I thought I’d take a moment and try to do the same:

This is a phenomenal app. It’s such a complex, deep dive into both entrainment and relaxing sounds that you’re really only able to appreciate its greatness by purchasing it. The options for customization are extensive and impressive; as a sound engineer myself, I’m blown away by the sophistication, depth and attention to detail. It’s always being updated. Couldn’t recommend more highly if you have attention deficit challenges (like me), love immersing yourself in other aural worlds. (The engineering of the binaural generators, by the way, is worth the price alone.) Be sure to use headphones (unless you’re using this for background ambience) and take time to explore.

When I discovered myNoiseRelaxSleepWork a couple years ago I was just looking for something that played white noise, burbling water, or general nature sounds when I slept.

But it blew away my expectations and offers more than I could have thought of on my own. Usability and customization is excellent. Variety and range of options incredible. The passion, experimentation, diverse tastes, and creativity of myNoiseRelaxSleepWork ’s creator and his love of sound and audio comes through strongly.

I increasingly explored new things and found both familiar and obscure chants, numerous variations on things like waves, rain, and running water with subtle but tangible differences I never would have thought I would care about, and a wealth of both natural and electronic / synthetic noises and soundscapes than I use when napping, meditating, or even sleeping that have a magical ability to tune out internal thoughts and self-dialogue, reset by brainwaves, and restore my focus and energy.

While on pain meds and recovering from surgery with my leg immobilized, listening with earbuds dramatically improved my ability to focus away from the discomfort and sleep at night.

Initially I just listened on my tablet and smart phone, but the audio quality is greatly enhanced with headphones, or decent earbuds if you’re not in a position to wear bulky headphones.

It’s hard to imagine being without it now!

If you're looking for a way to get your ios device to create a sound environment to drown out external noise or you just enjoy having the soft wooshing sounds of water in a stream or crashing ocean waves, myNoiseRelaxSleepWork truly comes through. I have had ear ringing for years and early on discovered the benefits of white noise. This sound generator has programmed sounds like ocean and rain and others but it also has equalizer type sliders for different audio frequency bands - very versatile. So far as I've seen there are no annoying adds added. I really hate those 🤔

I use myNoiseRelaxSleepWork mainly to mask out people talking and other disturbances in my office environment.

Beyond masking the annoyance of tinnitus I discovered that white noise seems to make it easier to tune out those wakeful thoughts when trying to sleep. It's kinda hard to explain and I've rarely tried to before but the recent emergence of ASMR (google it) might help explain.

7/3/21 UPDATE: This is now working fine again and I’m guessing that the below issue was due to a temporary issue with iOS on my phone. Glad that I’m able to enjoy this once again! 👍
———-
This used to be one of my favorite apps and I love the concept and design, but it has all but stopped working on my iPhone SE. Every time I open it there’s something new that’s wrong. Currently, there’s a 4-second delay between tapping/swiping and the resulting action on the screen which makes it frustrating to use. Tried deleting and reinstalling and not only does the problem persist but I’ve lost all my previous downloads (I purchased the $8.99 complete access a few years ago) and I don’t want to spend the next 30 mins waiting for all my previous generators to download. Have submitted an email to the developer and will wait a week or so before deleting this from my phone but I’m close to saying goodbye to what used to be a fantastic app.

I'll never need to download another "relaxing sounds" app again. This one blows all the others away. I am amazed by it each and every night. I have a set of really nice headphones and I'm pretty picky when it comes to sound quality. I feel like I am actually "THERE" (wherever there might be, a Japanese garden, a steel mill, in a tent during a thunderstorm, a cathedral in the quiet moments before mass). I've never experienced another app quite like this. Spend the extra dollars on the unlimited access to the different downloads, Italy's for itself in no time at all. One of the coolest apps I've ever purchased. (Also to the creator the new "pilgrim" setting is divine, one of the prettiest things I've heard. I hope you are making a living off your skills because you are certainly talented and knowledgeable enough to be! And I LOVE the fact there is a soundscape dedicated to Oxygene. My dad used to put the record on his super nice stereo in the early 80s when I was a child and we would listen to it together, describing to each other what the music made us see. One of my first real memories of music listening.)

I would have a whole lot more anxiety and inner meltdowns if it wasn’t for myNoiseRelaxSleepWork. I use it in addition to a box fan most nights for sleep in my noisy urban neighborhood, plus for work throughout the day, and many other occasions in between. The BEST feature is that it can keep playing while you are using other apps (like Apple Music, Netflix, etc.), which I find especially handy to use in noisy situations like airports and public transit where I want to block out sounds but also enjoy my own media to keep me entertained. As someone who is super sensitive to being disrupted by unwanted sounds when I’m trying to focus (I check all the boxes for misophonia), this feature is a godsend—it fills the dead air where I might otherwise hear an external ambient noise slip in. Sometimes I’ll even have it going during Zoom calls. I haven’t explored the full library, I only use the White Noise & Co. sliders, set to a saved Favorite setting featuring lower tones. Again, thank you for myNoiseRelaxSleepWork, I use it sometimes upwards of 12 hours a day if not more.

All the tones in “rain sounds” include burbling or dripping noises that over whelm the white noise. Even the more bass sounds (except sub bass which is thunder). I don’t strongly associate rain with dripping or burbling. All the rain tones sound like rain AND a fountain. Maybe that’s what rain sounds like in more rural areas, I wouldn’t know, but but in the city you wouldn’t experience a dripping sound unless your gutter is broken or your roof is leaking, dripping = stress. It wouldn’t be much of a problem except every single tone except sub bass has dripping sounds seems like something as customizable as this would let you customize the dripping out. Its not subtle background dripping either. Each tone has a drip in line with that tone and you can’t increase the white noise tone without increasing the drip.

I just it when I find apps that don’t just LOOK polished and professional (though many don’t anyway), but actually perform great as well. Nothing is perfect when released of course.... beta testers are usually the first people who use myNoiseRelaxSleepWork . What makes the difference is if the developer cares about their product enough to respond to (helpful) feedback, correct the bugs, and update appropriately when there are IOS changes, etc. I also think it’s classy as hell that she’s not even charging for this yet (only suggesting options for those who would like to help with this expensive project). Many other developers want you to pay a monthly subscription for pieces of half-put-together, never-updated crap now. She’s still working hard to make it perfect. That works for me.

I’ve been struggling with falling asleep, but thanks to myNoiseRelaxSleepWork, it’s so much easier to sleep now! I love to draw, and when I do, I often notice it’s too quiet. I’ll usually play music to fill the silence. However, that doesn’t help me sleep and I usually have trouble finding just the right song to play to fit with the feel of what I’m drawing. And also, $10 for all the sounds?! That’s so AWESOME! There’s a sound for everything and anything! I’m listening to sounds as I’m writing (or, um, typing) this! Again, thank you so much for this wonderful app and to those thinking about getting myNoiseRelaxSleepWork, it’s so worth every penny! There are countless amounts of sounds and many people making new sounds every day (or so) and I would totally recommend it! n^ v ^n

I've been quite pleasantly surprised with the wide variety of sounds available within myNoiseRelaxSleepWork. Even more, the ability to adjust various components of each sound is fantastic -- for example, within the Japanese Garden I can turn up the Waterfall, which I like to hear, and turn to nothing the Cicadas, which I'd rather not hear. This way each sound option permits customization to your own preferences. It's also possible to store your settings for future use, which is very handy.

I enjoyed so many of the sounds available that I purchased the entire generators bundle, and I don't regret the purchase in the slightest.

myNoiseRelaxSleepWork is the single greatest app ever in existence. I’m a sensory-overloaded artist who’s an orange in a world filled of apples....and all the world is full of hate and blips and beeps and rings and flashing signs and ticks and tv’s and thumping cars and I’ve gone mad in the process of trying to find peace in this world.
MyNoise has given me what I’ve needed.
You get free stuff, but paying the $9 for the unlimited sound programs is well worth it.
If you’re anything like me....overloaded in a loud world that you don’t feel you belong in, try myNoiseRelaxSleepWork to help you escape.
Trust me. It’s worth it. If I had a lot of money....I’d give so much more money to these soul-sensitive creators.

I don't usually leave reviews, especially for apps. I feel that this is mostly b/c of the fact that they don't usually feel personal. MyNoise started out being one of the few noise generators with tonal control and has only gotten better with every update. The creators have really made this a usable and specific to the user. It is extremely customizable to the user so that you can have a personal setting that makes sense for you, and the creators have made it to accommodate someone like me, which I love. It has helped a ton with my learning disabilities and mental stuff. If I could leave more that five stars I would.
