Very nice. Do you know why it caps out at 5 or 6 sounds for me? Once I've loaded that many sounds, even if I've turned them back off, I can't play any others unless I reload the page. Edit: Actually I think it's just slow loading. I think it might be useful to have a play/stop toggle instead of having to turn all of the components off.
That's really... what word to use? .... that's really fresh! I like it a lot.
Spent some time going to sleep with '10 hours of rain' youtube videos in the background. This is like all the soundscapes in one place. I particularly liked it when I found out I could layer jungle/paradise island and rain together... sweet.
Can you add an independent volume control (unless I've missed it....)? I like to play smooth jazz over stuff like this :). Especially the rain and fire sounds. It would make finding proper volume proportions easier.
A timer for going to sleep would be awesome. Towards the end, the volumne should decrease slowly.
I think an alarm function for waking up would be a nice feature as well. You could set the sounds that you like and when the time comes it would slowly increase the volume over a perioad of 10-15 minutes. This way you could wake up slowly and naturally (forest + rain + thunder would work well as an alarm, for me at least).
Wow this is an outright plagiarized clone of noisli.com and their app. I understand they aren't on Android yet, but copying their exact UI to essentially create a competing site and app feels wrong.
The generator is made in the popular flat style, it's the only similitude. Our site was created as a video site with sounds first, then lately a page with all sounds on the video was added.
The Android app has really nothing to do with it. Exact UI? Our App is multipage (7 audio pages with full menu) and their has 3 completely different pages for all sounds . "Exact" is the wrong word.
Very nice. I quite like the fan option; don't think I've seen it in other noise generators. The drone of it is good. A 'warehouse fan' option that's a little more bass-y and a little slower would be cool.
For some reason fans / lawnmower type sounds have always been the most relaxing for me, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcxeZ4Wwdn0 (edit: and now that I post that, a lawnmower sound would be fantastic, but I don't know how much of a weird outlier I am.)
Could it be that it's not the sound itself but the association with lazy summer weekend afternoons, lawnmower in the distance, that is the relaxing part?
http://mynoise.net/ has been around for several years and it developed the idea even further, allowing you to tune the intensity of each individual sound.

Nevertheless, I guess many of us (at least here on HN) leave their computers on all night, so this is not a problem.
