About Find My Quiet Sound — a free tinnitus sound generator for masking, relaxation and sleep
Find My Quiet Sound plays steady, seamless sounds that can make ringing, buzzing or hissing in the ears less noticeable for some people. Choose from white, pink and brown noise, gentle static, rain, rain on a window, ocean waves, lapping water, flowing water, a waterfall, forest, rustling leaves, crickets, cicadas, a summer night, wind, a fan, a fireplace and night sounds. Every sound is generated live in your browser, so nothing loops with a click and nothing needs to download.
People with tinnitus who want an easy, free way to add a comfortable background sound — at a desk, in a quiet room or at bedtime. It works with speakers, headphones or a pillow speaker, on phones, tablets and computers.
How to start
Tap a sound, keep the level low — just enough to blend with the tinnitus — and try others until one feels comfortable. There is no single sound that works for everyone.
Generate a continuous tone and shape it to your liking — at the lowest comfortable level.

Tones are for exploration and personal comfort. Matching a particular frequency is not a treatment and does not change the tinnitus itself.
Find My Tinnitus Sound
If you're comfortable doing so, use these controls to find a tone that sounds similar to your tinnitus. Keep the volume low and comfortable.
This explores what your tinnitus sounds like. To discover which masking sound you prefer, use Help Me Find My Sound instead.
Before you start
This is an experimental personalisation feature, not a hearing test or diagnosis.
It cannot determine the cause of tinnitus. Only a professional can do that.
Use headphones if you can, at a low level. Stop if anything feels uncomfortable.
Nothing is stored unless you choose to save the result on this device.

Adjust the pitch
Move the slider slowly until the tone feels closest to your tinnitus. Use the fine buttons for small steps.

Octave check
Why this step: tones an octave apart (double or half the frequency) sound alike in character, so self-matching often lands exactly one octave off. Listen to all three at the same low level and keep the one that feels closest. This is an estimate for your own exploration, not a clinical measurement.
Sounds to try
These are suggestions to experiment with, based only on the pitch you chose. There is no single sound that works for everyone — the one that feels most comfortable to you is the right one.

Not sure what sound works for you?
Let Find My Quiet Sound help you discover it. Two sounds at a time, about ten quick comparisons — no jargon, nothing uploaded.
Experimental features are exploratory tools for relaxation, attention, sound personalization, and tinnitus management support. They are not proven treatments and may not work for everyone. Everything starts quiet, fades in and out, never raises your volume, and can be stopped instantly with Stop.

The sound generator, mixer, frequency generator, Visual Focus, Sleep Mode and Attention Focus are free and will stay free. Experiments marked Premium · free during launch — Find My Sound, your sound profile, Frequency Painting, Sound Sculptor, Generative Sound, Sound Space, Adaptive and Sound + Visual Journeys — are the personalisation layer that will become Find My Quiet Sound Premium. During the beta they are free to use. Nothing you save will be taken away.
A few simple principles from tinnitus and hearing-health organisations.
Safe listening
Start low. Use the lowest comfortable listening level that gives you the experience you want. You do not need to completely cover your tinnitus. Louder is not necessarily better. Find My Quiet Sound starts every sound low and fades it in.
Take breaks. Pause during longer listening sessions. If a sound causes discomfort or seems to make your tinnitus worse, stop using it and lower the volume before trying again.
Headphone time. The WHO-ITU safe-listening standard suggests keeping personal audio around 80 dB or below for no more than 40 hours a week (75 dB for children). A device’s volume percentage does not reliably map to decibels, so the practical rule stays the lowest comfortable level.
Speakers are fine. A speaker or a pillow speaker at night can be just as useful as headphones.
Sound sensitivity (hyperacusis). Stay at the quietest setting, and seek a clinician’s plan if everyday sounds hurt.
When to talk to a professional
Sound tools can help day to day, but please see a doctor, audiologist or ENT (ear, nose and throat) specialist if your tinnitus:
is new, or changed suddenly
is persistent, is getting worse, or is bothering you significantly
is only in one ear
comes with hearing difficulty, fullness in the ear, or dizziness
pulses with your heartbeat
started after an injury, or is affecting sleep, mood or concentration
A hearing evaluation is the usual first step. Options such as hearing aids, sound-based management and counselling approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy are available, and professionals can help you choose.
How sound can help
Tinnitus often feels loudest in silence. Adding a pleasant, steady sound can make it less noticeable, give your attention something else to rest on, and may help with relaxation and sleep. Individual experiences vary — it is a way of managing the experience, not a treatment.
There is no single best sound. Broadband noise (white, pink, brown) and natural sounds are the most widely used; what matters is what feels comfortable to you.
Privacy
Find My Quiet Sound works without an account. Your favourites, presets and settings are stored only on this device. Nothing about your hearing is collected or sent anywhere, and the optional "Find My Tinnitus Sound" result is saved only if you choose to.
This app is designed for sound masking, relaxation, and tinnitus management support. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure tinnitus and is not a substitute for professional medical care.
