Choose from 10 existing templates or create your own by freely combining any of the 38 sounds, including: Rain Sounds, Bird Sounds, Ocean Sounds and many more sounds of nature.

Replace the distracting noises around you. This unique application allows you to virtually place the sounds in your surroundings – front, back, left and right. (available as In-App Purchase).

We recommend headphones for the true surround sound experience but the app can also be used without them.

Everything you hear in SoundShade has been carefully handcrafted based on existing research that studies the negative effect noise has on work performance; such as reading, writing and numeric tasks. This means you wont be distracted or tired by SoundShade. This results in effortless listening - allowing you to remain focused for longer whilst listening to your favorite sounds.

Reviews

What it does it does the best.

This is the easiest to us and most intuitive app of its type. The sounds are excellently done and sound like the real thing. Now that they've nailed the hard part, it's time for the nice-to-haves. Like a sleep timer, alarm.

Love this app!!

This is a pretty cool app for ambient sounds. It has many sound options as well as the ability to locate the sounds spatially. It works amazingly with surround sounds speakers.

Wonderful

I absolutely love this app. Low memory required. The ability to configure some really nice sounds. My only request is a timer. It would be nice to have it shut off at a specified time. Looking forward to updates!

Great Beginning

This app is the first ambient sound app I've gotten excited about, being able to control the distance from the sound in 3D space is an excellent feature. I can't wait for updates!

Great for focus or relaxing

Great if you're looking to unwind or want to have background noise to focus. Really good design and cool customization options.

Relaxing and Lovely

Very nice implementation of relaxing sounds. I like that you can place sounds anywhere, any distance or any angle 360 degrees around yourself as the center! Creative use of sound app!

Totally useless

Sounded like a bunch of distracting noises. What a waste of time designing this app.

Fun and handy

I find this app really fun to play with. It is kinda easy to discover all features from the app. Strongly recommend, guys!

Surprising…

I have a couple ambiance apps but this is the easiest to use. The surprising bit is how much of a difference it makes to be able to place the sounds. Volume _and_ location. Japanese bells low to my left, birds off to the left kind of like out by the next house as opposed to right outside, a thunderstorm off in the distance on right-ish, and a fireplace crackling at a very low level. You only go into a menu (panel) to choose sounds. Otherwise with the app open you can slide things around and get that balance. Something feels a bit too loud? Push it out further. Emphasize something for a bit? Slide it in. Feel the storm should have moved? Slide it over or push it far out. Very nicely done.
