Ouch.

That said: I checked, and the size is mostly the sound files (which are 312 MB total). I don't mind storing a decent set of high quality ambient sound files.

Exactly, priority on sound quality.

Fair enough. Noise is hard to compress :)

PS. It is called an ambient noise _generator_ though.

Any chance of a version that doesn't require administrative privileges to install?

parisianka 5y ago ↗

I will think about it

I give it away completely free during the launch period to get meaningful feedback from early adopters.

Here's some: only having three different volume settings is bad. The train sample seems repetitive/has obvious cuts. The noise samples are super long and therefore also large in size and can probably be cut down.

Thank you, will check it.

Any chance for macOS version?

Probably, need to polish this one.

I can't speak for those who got it for free with your code, but if didn't have the code, I'd have been pretty upset to pay fifteen dollars for a desktop app only to find a tab in it letting me know that to access "premium features" I'd need to sign up (and presumably pay again/more) online.

On android I use Noice available from F-Droid (and maybe the playstore, no idea). Does a good job and it is Free and free.

+++ for Noice, I use it too and really like it. High quality sounds, and as parent commenter said, it's Free
