The MP3 files

Just white noise, sounds like ocean waves but more gentle.

Download MP3 #2
35 minutes / 48 MB
White noise plus a reassuring heartbeat.

Download MP3 #3
35 minutes / 45 MB
Same as above, but also with some extra ambient sounds to add depth and variety.

Download MP3 #4
30 minutes / 21 MB
Same as #3, but this is a seamless loop (doesn't fade in/out)
Excellent if your MP3 player / CD burner is capable of gapless playback.

About the sounds

I made these sounds and this web page after a rather frustrating time searching the Internet for free MP3s of ambient white-noise stuff -- things to help my baby boy sleep.

MicrophoneI was amazed when I found no high quality long playing mp3s free of charge.

So here you are!

Download these sounds into your iPod or whatever you use to lull your child (or yourself) to sleep.

These are original synthesized creations using Logic Audio Pro and Native Instruments Traktor. No real ocean waves here -- they're too unpredictable and their crashing sometimes wakes up the baby. :) These are computer-generated white noise waves that have been filtered to remove the harsh frequencies found in "true" white noise.

If you're looking for something a little more musical, see the ambient music page.

 

 

 

 

Using the sounds

Each soundtrack lasts about 35 minutes, which means you can fit two of them on a CD and then put that CD on infinite loop.

If you're using an iPod and you want these sounds to last for a 3 hour long nap time (don't we all!) just make a playlist that includes the sounds over and over.

NEED HELP?

Use the download buttons in the MP3 player above, or if that doesn't work try right-clicking (PC) or control-clicking (Mac) on the MP3 links to the left and select the option most similar to "Download link to disk" or "Save file as..." -- This will prevent the file from simply playing in your web browser. Once downloaded, you can drag the mp3 file into your favorite mp3 software (e.g. iTunes) or CD burning software.
