It has two modes: Sound Busy, with realistic escape sounds such as a meeting starting, a bad phone signal, driving, call waiting, an airport gate and a crying baby, and Sound Calm, with brown, white and pink noise, a fan, airplane cabin noise, gentle rain and baby shushing for sleep and focus. Sounds can be layered into mixes with per-sound volume, shared by link and stopped by a sleep timer. Every sound is CC0 public domain (royalty-free) or synthesized by BusyAudio, and the site works in any modern browser, including on phones, with no account and no cookies.
