Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

White noise soundwave Whether you think simplynoise.com is useful or not there is no denying that its design is just perfect.

Simply Noise has one function, to provide ‘white noise’ when you need it — that’s it! White noise is said to be useful for many reasons. According to simplynoise.com these include:

Aid Sleep
Enhance Privacy
Block Distractions
Mask Tinnitus
Configure Audio Equipment
Soothe Migraines

Since finding simplynoise.com I have let it run in the background while browsing on the web and when writing. I have it running now and it is ‘blurring’ background noise of chatter and the children playing allowing me to concentrate better with the task in hand. I am listening to the white noise through headphones so not to get strange looks and not disturb others.

White noise is a personal thing and I would not dream of blasting it through the hi-fi in order to drown out audible distraction. I imagine that white noise would aid getting to sleep, something that I often cannot do with ease. It may be time to add an hour or so white noise track to my iPod.

Simple Design

What I really like about simplynoise.com is the design, which is simple too. There is only one control, volume and it is obvious what it does. I particularly like the visual indication too — that’s a neat functional addition.

Here’s a quick screen capture of the website in action — although it’s probably quicker to visit simplynoise.com and have a play with it yourself!
