Calming sounds
sound to soften the edges
A steady background sound can help mask sudden noise and settle the mind. Choose one, or blend several into your own mix, set your volume, and stay as long as you like. Everything is generated live in your browser, in soft stereo, with nothing to download.

Your mix
Listen on a speaker
On a phone or tablet (easiest): pair your device with your speaker over Bluetooth, and everything on this page, including your mix, plays through it. For a Google Nest speaker, say “Hey Google, pair Bluetooth”, then choose the speaker in your phone’s Bluetooth settings. Most smart speakers work the same way.
On a computer with Chrome: open the browser menu (⋮), choose Cast…, pick your speaker, and set the source to “Cast tab”. The whole tab’s sound, mix and all, moves to the speaker.
Why there is no one-tap cast button: casting sends a speaker a file to fetch, and these sounds are generated live in your browser rather than streamed from a file, which is what keeps them free, instant and offline-friendly. For one-tap casting to a speaker or TV, our YouTube soundscapes cast natively from the YouTube app.

Sound plays only when you choose it, never automatically. Not everyone finds sound soothing, and that is completely fine.
A quick guide
which sound, and when
This is a free noise generator with no ads, no sign-up and no downloads. The sound is made live in your browser and keeps working offline. People use it to fall asleep, to study and focus (steady noise is a common aid with ADHD), to mask misophonia trigger sounds, and to soften tinnitus at low volume.
White noise
An even, full hiss that covers a wide range of sounds. Good for masking chatter or sudden noises.
Pink noise
Softer and deeper than white, like steady rain. Many people find it gentler for focus or sleep.
Brown noise
Deeper still, a low rumble like distant surf. A favourite for calm and concentration. Also known as red noise.
Deep brown
Brown noise taken lower again: a soft, dark, almost felt-more-than-heard rumble. Lovely for sleep and late evenings.
Blue noise
Brighter and airier than white, weighted to higher tones. Some find it crisp and clearing for focus.
Green noise
A gentle mid-range wash, often likened to soft nature ambience. Steady and easy in the background.
Grey noise
Balanced to sound even across what the ear hears, so no part feels too sharp or too dull.
Violet noise
The brightest, weighted to the highest tones. A thin, airy hiss some use to soften ringing in the ears.
Layer them into your own mix. Every sound here is generated live in your browser, so there is nothing to download. Blend a little brown under pink, soften the tone to taste, save it as your mix, and it is ready next time.
questions, answered
Is the hushri noise generator free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no ads, no account, no downloads and no time limits. The sound is generated live in your browser and keeps working offline once you have visited the page.
What is the difference between white, pink and brown noise?
White noise has equal energy at every frequency and sounds bright, like a hiss. Pink noise reduces the high frequencies and sounds softer, like steady rainfall. Brown noise reduces them further and sounds deep, like a distant waterfall, many people find it the most comfortable for sleep and focus.
What is red noise?
Red noise is another name for brown noise, the same deep, low-frequency sound. hushri also offers a deep brown option that is lower and softer still.
Can colour noise help with tinnitus?
Many people with tinnitus use steady background sound, often white or pink noise at low volume, to make ringing less noticeable, and sound enrichment is part of standard tinnitus management. Keep the volume low and comfortable, and speak to a GP or audiologist for advice about your own tinnitus.
