Noise for Tinnitus
A free, on-device noise generator many people with tinnitus use for background sound. The default preset on this page is pink noise, with a slider that lets you dial it warmer or brighter to taste. The audio is procedurally generated, so it never loops. There's no signup, no ads, and no need to be online once the page is loaded. NoiseMoon is not a medical device and makes no treatment claims — for tinnitus care, see an audiologist or ENT.
What this page is, briefly
NoiseMoon is a sound generator, not a treatment. It gives you a steady, never-looping background sound whose spectral tilt you can shape in real time. Some people with tinnitus like having stable background sound in quiet rooms; others don't. Response is individual, and the only way to know is to try it at a low volume.
For tinnitus care, see an audiologist or ENT. The information on this page isn't a replacement for a clinical evaluation. If your tinnitus is sudden, asymmetric (one ear worse than the other), or accompanied by hearing loss, get it checked promptly.
Why pink noise is the default here
Pure white noise (flat across the spectrum) sounds bright and hissy, and many people find it fatiguing over long sessions. Pink noise rolls off at −3 dB/oct, putting more of the energy into mid and low frequencies. It feels more like rainfall or a steady waterfall — a comfortable middle ground, which is why it's the default on this page.
Pink keeps some audible high-frequency energy; brown noise (−6 dB/oct) is a deeper rumble with less. Which sits better alongside your tinnitus is individual — try both at a low volume and keep whichever feels more comfortable.
How to use this page
- Press play. Pink is selected by default.
- Keep the volume low and comfortable — the sound is background, not something to push louder.
- Use the warm ↔ bright slider to taste. Toward bright emphasises high-frequency energy; toward warm emphasises the low end. Settle wherever it feels most comfortable next to your tinnitus.
- Try the brown preset if pink doesn't suit. Try the Velvet or Cathedral themed soundscapes if pure noise feels clinical — both are reverberant variants that some tinnitus listeners prefer.
- If you want the page to listen to your room and tune itself, tap tune to your room. The mic listens for ten seconds, the audio is analysed locally, and the recording is discarded immediately.
How long should I listen?
As long or as little as you like. Keep the volume low and comfortable, and follow the same hearing-safety habits you would with music — especially with earbuds for long sessions. The built-in timer can fade the sound out on a schedule if you don't want it running all night.
For a listening plan specific to your tinnitus, ask an audiologist — that's their territory, not ours.
Why procedural matters
Recorded background-sound tracks loop. Most YouTube and Spotify "tinnitus relief" tracks are short audio files (often 8 to 30 minutes long) repeated to fill the listing duration, and a loop seam is something your ears can learn to notice.
NoiseMoon's audio is generated continuously on your device, sample by sample. There is no loop. Every minute is unique — there's nothing to memorise. We measured 19 popular YouTube "white noise" videos and found 6 of them had detectable loops — the very thing the procedural approach removes.
What NoiseMoon doesn't do
NoiseMoon doesn't offer per-frequency notch filtering or any clinician-prescribed sound program. If an audiologist has recommended a specific protocol or device for your tinnitus, use what they recommend — this page isn't a substitute.
What NoiseMoon does offer is a simple, free, never-looping sound source: the warm ↔ bright slider for spectral tilt, themed presets like Velvet and Cathedral for texture, and the tune to your room calibrate flow, which listens for ten seconds, analyses the audio locally, and discards the recording immediately.
Frequently asked
What kind of noise is best for tinnitus?
No noise color is universally best. Pink is more energy-balanced than pure white and many people find it easier to listen to for long sessions; brown is darker still. Response is individual — try each and keep what feels comfortable.
Does noise actually help tinnitus?
NoiseMoon makes no treatment or relief claims about tinnitus. It generates steady background sound whose tone you can shape; whether that feels helpful to listen to is individual. For tinnitus care, talk to an audiologist or ENT.
How long should I listen?
As long or as little as you like — keep the volume low and comfortable, and use the built-in timer if you want the sound to fade out on a schedule. For a listening plan specific to your tinnitus, ask an audiologist.
Is NoiseMoon a medical device?
No. NoiseMoon is a noise generator. It's not FDA-cleared, not a medical device, and not a substitute for working with an audiologist or ENT. If your tinnitus is sudden, worsening, or affecting your daily life, see a clinician.
Why procedural and not a recorded loop?
Recorded tracks have a loop point your ears can learn to notice. Procedural noise has no loop point. Every minute is unique.
Can I use this offline?
Yes. Once the page loads, you can put your phone in airplane mode and the noise keeps playing. Add NoiseMoon to your home screen for one-tap access without opening a browser — no ads or stream interruptions mid-night.
