Noises Online differs from other background noise generators by its pristine audio quality and the variety of sounds available from one single web page.

Hello, white noise, my old friend.
If you've been working from home during the pandemic and you're usually in an office, you might have initially found yourself rejoicing in the ability to control the noise level in your work environment. No chewing! No Ed Sheeran on a shitty Bluetooth speaker! No that one guy in sales who never turns his phone on silent!
But unless you're one of the heroic folks trying to work from home while also wrangling (and teaching) kids, after a while it just gets a little too quiet. You've thrashed your favourite focus playlists and lo-fi beats YouTube channels, and your partner's muffled conference calls filtering through the closed door isn't exactly doing the job either. You actually start missing the gentle background distraction of a little office bustle. Fortunately, there's a website for that.
After a morning spent listening to The Sounds Of Colleagues, I can vouch for its soothing atmospheric effects. A simple interface lets you adjust the mix of office noises to your liking: keyboards tapping, a window open to the street below, the hum of a fully functioning printer, an espresso machine, leisurely rain sounds, and even an office dog snuffling in a corner. Convert to mp3 3 3 5. (I turned the sound of an occasionally ringing iPhone right down to mute, thanks very much, and the dog whining tugged a bit too much at my new-dog-parent heartstrings after a while.)
The effect is a consistent, cosy background buzz that feels both ambient and more human than your usual white noise, and immediately puts my brain in Work Mode.
As well as the site, which you can leave open in a browser tab, The Sounds Of Colleagues is also a Spotify playlist, with office sounds ranging from a Mad Men vibe with '60s typewriters to 'Start Up Office, Friday Afternoon' which might be useful if you're missing those pre-weekend beers.

The Sounds of Colleagues isn’t the only tool for office folks feeling isolated, though. A similar tool, with a slightly more businesslike interface, is , which focuses purely on office sounds like the copier, markers on paper, and a clock ticking your day away. takes things in the opposite direction, with a cute modernist 3D space filled with items and “colleagues” represented by graphic shapes, which you can click to turn on or off — one might not say anything for several minutes but then will crunch some snacks, wander past your desk, or laugh. This is worth it just to be able to mute the eating sounds. (For a more true-to-life mix, pop it on alongside one of the more ambient generators to add a little randomness.)
If the office specifically isn’t what you’re missing, there are other background noises aplenty to be found so you can pretend you’re in whatever currently-closed productivity spot you prefer. From to and , YouTube, streaming platforms, and specialised services like Coffitivity are full of sonic environments to help you drown out the too-familiar sounds of home and get some shit done.
Of course, for the full experience, you might want to play your background noise of choice through your room speakers, and throw on some headphones to muffle that damn printer. Ahhh. It’s like you’re there.
Welcome to Noises Online! Fonepaw iphone data recovery 5 6 0 8.
Noise isn't always the chatty colleague in your open-plan office, or the sound of your tinnitus when you go to sleep. Though the word 'noise' has acquired a negative connotation, it can be beautiful, such as the sound of the ocean, the rain, or a field in the summer.
The idea behind an online background noise machine like this website, is to make use of the noises you like to mask the noises you dislike. The concept is simple, works extremely well, and does not require expensive equipment, such as active noise cancelling headphones.
Because these noises are available through a web browser, you can pick the sounds you like the best. You can adjust their relative levels to achieve perfectly well-balanced background noise to boost your productivity, increase your focus, deepen your meditation session, or fall asleep at night. The uses of a noise machine are extremely varied!
Noises Online differs from other background noise generators by its pristine audio quality and the variety of sounds available from one single web page. These sounds are original recordings – not stock sounds – taken from my sampling sessions for myNoise, another website of mine. myNoise is probably the best background noise generator on the internet. Things 3 8 5 x 7. It offers an unsurpassed number of noises and is second to none for customizing sound. It even takes your hearing thresholds into account! It's complexity and cluttered user interface may discourage the newcomer though. This is how Noises Online came to life: as a much simpler alternative to myNoise, offering the same audio quality through the easiest user interface one can think of.

Noises Online is free to use, but it isn't free for me to maintain. Development and support costs aside, I have to pay the hosting fees and the expenses of using a content delivery network (CDN) which replicates all my audio files to the server nearest to you. This means the website loads as fast as possible. This service has a much higher cost than regular hosting. If you like my work and want to support Noises Online, consider making a donation at myNoise. As I am running both sites, one supports the other. Plus, you will be granted lifetime privileged access to myNoise, which – I am sure – you'll enjoy too!
