The Ambient Sounds screen with nothing playing, a grid of seven sounds including rain, ocean, wind and brown, pink and white noise, all marked synthesized, and a sleep timer offering fifteen to ninety minutes.
Filtered noise, generated as it plays, so there is no loop to catch.

How it works

  1. No loop to notice

    Rain, ocean, wind, a fan and three colours of noise, all generated live. There is no ten second clip repeating underneath you.

  2. A sleep timer that ends it

    Fifteen minutes through to ninety, or off. It stops on its own instead of running until the battery gives up.

  3. Or bring your own

    Drop audio files into Resources/Sounds and it plays those.

Asked about Ambient Sounds

What is the Ambient Sounds module in Cadence?

Seven sounds to work or sleep to, generated live instead of played from a clip. Rain, ocean, wind, a fan and three colours of noise, all generated live. There is no ten second clip repeating underneath you.

Can I switch Ambient Sounds off?

Yes. The library in Settings has a switch beside Ambient Sounds, and turning it off takes it out of the sidebar, the search and the Today screen. The other 26 switchable modules work the same way.

Does Ambient Sounds sync between the Mac and the iPhone?

Yes, once iCloud sync is unlocked for $14.99, paid once and covering the Mac and the iPhone together. Until then Ambient Sounds keeps its data on the device you typed it into, and it goes nowhere else.

Keep Ambient Sounds. Ignore the other twenty five.
