Silence-White Noise for Sleep

Fresh new look! 10 calming soundscapes, offline playback, and a gentle fade-out sleep timer to help you drift off faster.

Silence is a calm, clutter-free white noise and sleep sounds app built to do one thing well: help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up rested.

There's no account to create, no subscription to manage, and no internet connection required. Pick a sound, and it plays — instantly, every time, on every night you need it.

TEN CALMING SOUNDSCAPES • Rain & Thunder — rain on the window and distant rolling thunder, for anyone who sleeps best under a storm • Ocean & Water — ocean waves, flowing rivers, and gentle running water • Asian Ambient — guzheng melodies, temple bells, and singing bowls for a quieter kind of calm • Forest & Nature — birdsong, wind through trees, and crickets at night • White, Pink & Brown Noise — steady, even static that masks sudden noises and works well for babies and for focus during the day • Fireplace & Cozy — crackling fire and a low wood-stove hum • Piano — soft, slow piano melodies for winding down • City & Cafe — coffee shop chatter and distant traffic, for anyone who finds background bustle more soothing than silence • Meditation & Instrumental — singing bowls, soft piano, and ambient pads for breathing exercises or a bedtime wind-down routine • Lullabies & Baby Sleep — music box, heartbeat, and soft humming for settling a baby (or yourself) down for the night

HOW IT WORKS

Tap a sound and it starts right away — no loading screens, no sign-in Set a sleep timer (or leave it running all night) and lock your phone as usual Control play, pause, and stop from your lock screen without unlocking your phone BUILT FOR BEDTIME, NOT FOR BROWSING • Sleep timer — choose how long the sound plays; it fades out gently over the last several seconds instead of cutting off abruptly and jolting you awake • Background & lock-screen playback — audio keeps playing after your screen locks, with play, pause, and stop controls right on the lock screen • Favorites — tap the heart on any sound to save it, so tomorrow night's routine is one tap away • Bedtime reminder — an optional, gentle nightly notification that nudges you to start winding down at the same time each evening • Dark, distraction-free design — no bright colors, no jarring animations, no autoplaying video previews. Just the sound you picked, and nothing competing for your attention while you're trying to sleep

PRIVATE BY DESIGN Silence works entirely offline. There's no account, no login, no cloud sync, and no listening data is ever collected, tracked, or sent anywhere. Your favorites, your reminder time, and your settings all stay on your device — nowhere else. What you listen to at night is your business, not ours.

AVAILABLE IN 21 LANGUAGES The app follows your device's language automatically, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Turkish, Indonesian, Romanian, Bengali, Swahili, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, and Urdu — so it feels native wherever you are.

DESIGNED FOR IPHONE AND IPAD One universal app, tuned for both. The dark, minimal interface is easy to use half-asleep with the lights off, and works equally well propped on a nightstand or held in one hand.

WHO IT'S FOR Parents settling a baby down for the night. Light sleepers who need to drown out a noisy street, a snoring partner, or thin apartment walls. Students and remote workers who focus better with steady sound in the background. Meditators and anyone building a calmer bedtime routine. Frequent travelers who want the same familiar sound in every hotel room. Anyone who just wants one honest app that plays a sound and gets out of the way.

Silence is free to use, supported by a small ad on the browsing screens only. There are no ads during playback and none while you're actually trying to fall asleep — that part of the experience stays quiet, always.

No account. No subscription. No internet required. No noise but the one you chose.

Pick a sound tonight. Let it play. Sleep.
