'They're drilling right outside, I literally can't hear myself think. Text me?'
When to use it
- Moving a call to text

- Your neighbor's renovation, but portable

Mix it with…
Meeting Starting
A room full of people finding seats, chairs scraping, small talk winding down.
Busy Terminal
A big echoey travel hall: crowd murmur, footsteps and that unmistakable 'I'm about to board' bustle.
Traffic & Street
Cars, buses, footsteps and city bustle on a busy London street.
Bad Signal
Crackle, hiss, garbled half-words and dramatic dropouts, all squeezed into phone bandwidth.
Crying Baby
A tiny human with very big feelings.
Coffee Shop
Clinking cups and cozy café conversation.

The rumble and rattle of a ride on a modern Paris metro.

Steady rain with rolling thunder in the distance.
Doorbell + Dog
Ding-dong! And a very excited small dog who has opinions about it.
Keyboard Typing
Fast, focused, slightly-too-loud typing.
Brown Noise
Like a weighted blanket for your ears. Deep, soft, steady rumble.
White Noise
The classic. Bright, even static that covers just about everything.
Pink Noise
Softer than white, brighter than brown. Like steady rain on a window.
Fan / AC Hum
For people who sleep with the fan on in January.

Seat 23C, minus the knees in your back.
Driving
Road hum at 90 km/h, with a turn signal now and then.

Beep-beep. Sounds like someone else really needs you.
Baby Shush + Heartbeat
A slow heartbeat and a gentle 'shhh', on repeat for as long as it takes.
Airport Gate
A gate-area chime, a muffled announcement and everyone standing up too early.
Gentle Rain
Steady rain on the terrace. No thunder, no surprises.
