A sound in the background
Silence at bedtime can feel very loud. Many people simply like a soft, steady sound in the room while they wind down.
Sleep sounds, made on your phone
Many people who live with ringing in their ears like a soft, steady sound in the background at night. Calmhum makes that simple: mix brown noise, soft rain and a fan, find a tone you like, set a timer and rest.
Why Calmhum
Silence at bedtime can feel very loud. Many people simply like a soft, steady sound in the room while they wind down.
Short recordings repeat, and ads break the calm. Calmhum makes each sound on your phone as you listen, so there is nothing to repeat and nothing to interrupt.
Earbuds in bed get uncomfortable. Calmhum is designed for the phone's own speaker, so you don't need headphones or any other device.
How it works
Turn on any of the 7 sounds and set each one's volume. Calmhum keeps the mix balanced as you add layers.
Move a slider, listen, and keep the tone that feels right to have on in the background. Play it as a pure tone or a soft band of sound.
Choose 15 minutes to 2 hours, or all night. The sound fades out gently and keeps playing with the screen locked.
Try a sound
This preview runs in your browser and follows the app's mixing steps: layers are balanced as you add them, volume changes glide, and a limiter keeps the peaks soft.
Sound plays only after you press Play. It starts quietly and fades in over 3 seconds. Keep the volume low, just loud enough to be comfortable.
Ready when you are.
The preview stops when you leave this page. On iPhone, also check that the volume is up.
What's inside
Set each sound's volume and the overall volume. Your mix is saved for next time.
Slide from lower to higher, listen, and keep the one that feels comfortable. Use it alone or with other sounds.
15, 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 minutes, or all night. The sound fades out over the last 30 seconds.
Keep listening with the screen locked or in other apps, with controls on the lock screen. A call pauses the sound, and it fades back in when the phone allows.
Note how noticeable the ringing was and how you slept, from 0 to 10. See the last 7 days at a glance and share it as PDF or CSV.
A calm, dim screen that is easy on the eyes at night, and a gentle reminder if your volume is high.
