Frequently Asked Questions
What is Background Noises?
Background Noises is an ambient sound app built for simplicity: pick a sound, pick a length, press play. It offers white noise, nature sounds, binaural beats with a custom Beat Builder, all 9 solfeggio frequencies, and 15 brainwave journeys — available on the web at bgnoises.com, the App Store for iPhone & iPad, and Google Play for Android. No voiceovers. No guided meditation. Just sound.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every paid plan includes a 7-day free trial — cancel anytime before it ends and you won't be charged. You can also preview every sound for free with 6 sample credits per month before committing.
How is this different from Calm or Headspace?
Background Noises focuses exclusively on pure ambient sound — no onboarding quiz, no breathing exercises, no sleep stories, no one telling you to notice the weight of your body. It skips everything between you and the sound you came for. Simple by default, powerful when you need it.
Do I need headphones?
Headphones are required for binaural beats (the frequency differential needs separate left/right channels). For nature sounds, white noise, and solfeggio frequencies, any speaker works great.
What platforms does it work on?
Background Noises is available on any web browser at bgnoises.com, the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and Google Play for Android. One account syncs your library across all platforms.
How is the audio created?
Tracks are created using a combination of professional sound design and AI-assisted generation. Binaural beats and solfeggio frequencies are synthesized with precision DSP. There are no AI voiceovers or narration — just sound.
