An editorial reading of the saved reviews

White Noise Lite is a time-tested background noise generator for sleep, works without tracking or extra mechanics. The main weakness in recent versions: after some updates the sound cuts out when the screen locks.

I've used it for years and it's never failed me! I swear by the box fan sound. Sounds play just like and music would: while your phone is off or while in another app. I absolutely love it!

I use the fan noise when I'm traveling because I can't bring my own fan. Since I can't sleep without the white noise in the background the fan sound is a life saver.

Easy to use and has so many great noises. Saved me while traveling!!! I love this app!!!

I've used this app for several years at night to help cover noise while I sleep. Recently it's started turning itself off randomly- sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after an hour. This isn't restful.

I've used this app every single night without fail for almost ten years, never had any issues. Starting today, sound stops playing when you turn your screen off or go to another app, you have to restart the app only to get it to do it again after 15 seconds.
