Some nights a story is too much. A voice, however slow, is still a voice, and what you want is something to cover the room.
These are forty-minute tracks with no voice and no music in them: rain on a jungle in Yucatán , waves on a beach in the Philippines and another on the Caribbean , a small campfire , a river in the Brazilian hills , and crickets and frogs at night. Each one loops without a seam and fades in and out slowly, so nothing starts or stops abruptly.
The three noises differ in where their energy sits. White noise is the brightest and the best at covering sudden sounds. Pink noise is deeper and gentler, close to steady rain. Brown noise is a low rumble, closer to a distant waterfall or the inside of a plane.
They are in the Lullable iPhone app with a Premium subscription, alongside the stories , and they use the same sleep timer.

Beach Waves at Punta Allen Bigger waves on a far beach, breaking and hissing out across the sand. Loud enough to fill the room, and never in a hurry.

Brown Noise, Deep and Low The lowest and warmest of the noises. It rumbles rather than hisses, like a far waterfall, and it is easy to forget.

A Small Campfire, Crackling A fire that needs nothing from you. It has been burning for a while, the wood shifts and ticks, and the warmth is the whole of it.

Night Crickets at Chacahua Lagoon A lagoon after dark, with crickets keeping their own slow count. It is the sound of a summer night with the window open.

Night Wetland in Quintana Roo A wetland that wakes up as you lie down. Frogs and insects call across the water, near and far, and none of it is for you to answer.

Ocean Waves at White Beach The sea doing the one thing it always does. Each wave arrives, spreads and draws back, and the next one is already on its way.

Pink Noise, Soft as Rainfall White noise with the edges softened. It sounds like heavy rain on a roof, and it stays exactly that way until the fade.

Rain on the Jungle near Uxmal Rain that has settled in for the night. It falls on leaves and soil at one even pace, and nothing in it changes enough to call you back.

A Small River in the Brazilian Hills A shallow river that has been running over the same stones for a very long time. It does not rise or fall; it simply keeps going.

White Noise, Steady and Even Every frequency at once, at the same level, from start to finish. It does not change, so there is nothing in it for your mind to follow.
