Niagara - Pink Noise

I have been using Pink Noise for years as I have Tinnitus in both ears. It aids sleep onset by masking the irritating ringing noise. Why Pink Noise and not White Noise? Pink Noise sounds like a waterfall and White Noise sounds like a downpour. Pink Noise has more bass and is closer to natural sounds. I find it more soothing to my ears. In the free download below subtle virtual dreaming techniques are used to enhance the feeling of walking toward a large waterfall on a rainy day. We recorded this 20 minute audio at CD quality so be aware that it is 38 Megabytes. Just relax, close your eyes and visualize. A longer, higher quality and more extensive version can be found here.

Free 30 minute Virtual Shower

Here is a free 30 minute shower sound... some people find it an effective sleep-aid as it eases their tinnitus while others just like the soothing sound. We added plenty of White Noise along with a few audio effects to simulate the environment and aid in sleep onset. This one was squeezed down to 28 megabyte.

Free 30 minute Oscillating Virtual Fan

We were asked by a patron if we could create the relaxing ambiance of a fan moving back and forth. Our virtual fan subtly pans left and right and produces that calming sound that we all know. Its about 28 megabyte. And, yes, that's a real fan. Do you have an idea for natural or nature sounds that can be used as an effective tinnitus masker sleep-aid? Let us know!!

Free 15 minute Virtual Dryer Sound

The sounds we as individuals find comfort in are numerous and varied. I have heard from a number of patrons how relaxing and soothing they thought the sound of a standard household dryer was. So, we recorded one. This sound is loopable and 15 minutes long. It's about 14 megabyte.

Free 20 minute White Noise

White noise is used as a sleep aid and to mask tinnitus. Other people find that white noise can aid concentration by masking irritating noises. The theory behind it is simple. Imagine one person in an theater talking behind you. Irritating, right? But add 500 people talking in the same time and the irritating noise gets lost in the murmur. This white noise is loopable, slowly fades in and out at the beginning and end, and is 20 minutes long. It's about 29 megabyte.
