The Name of the Rose Background Ambience Generator
- phkahler 7y agoWould be nice in an app so you dont need the network.
- ivolimmen 7y agoThe website has a link to both an Android and IOS app; might be worth a shot. Tried multiple sounds and it is quite relaxing.
- QuadDamaged 7y agoFun fact: the myNoise app exists thanks to a meeting of minds on HN. Although I do wish the Android app was a bit better, quite proud of our babies! (rewriting in a single unified app using Rust / Xamarin RN)
- jsjohnst 7y agoJust impulse spent $10 and very happy I did!
- louhike 7y agoAn other commenter already said than there are apps. But there are also digital albums on Google Play, Spotify, iTunes, Rdio, Deezer, etc.
- bastih 7y agoThey also have a presence on Spotify, great for offline listening.
- Lucasoato 7y agoMy noise is such a good site. 5 years ago I scraped it with a friend, then reproduced the logic with Max for Live. So many good memories :')
- jdpigeon 7y agoI love mynoise.net so much. It first came into my life when I was a grad student and needed white noise to read scientific papers in a crowded office. Now, it's finding its way back as a generator of fantasy dungeon sounds in my DnD campaign!
- audiosampling 7y agoOh, another Pigeon! So am I! What a coincidence!
- DragonCot 7y agoNot to rain on the parade of MyNoise, but my preferred ambient audio experience is https://tabletopaudio.com https://tabletopaudio.com

- maddy237 7y ago<3 The Name of the Rose, but I expected this generator to include the most terrifying of all sounds from the film, the bells heard at the beginning of this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wmwzK0Orjo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wmwzK0Orjo
- perlpimp 7y agothe first the app came out on iOS i've paid the full price for all noises. It has been indispensable for generating focus/relaxation during my work days. brings a smile to my faces every time i see someone link mynoise on hn.
- Doctor_Fegg 7y agoLovely to hear the Veni Creator being sung here. An enjoyable diversion on this particular piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSneZQ9duE4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSneZQ9duE4
- audiosampling 7y agoVery nice diversion (with a great sound quality). BTW, if you like that Gregorian song, here with individual sliders control : https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/gregorianChoirGenerator.php https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/gregorianChoirGenerator.ph...
- happyglands 7y agoThis is great! The clanking in the "restaurant" is so soothing for me.
- arethuza 7y agoThis makes me want background ambience from the Concent of Saunt Edhar.
- audiosampling 7y agoThe creator of the website here. Thanks for your kind comments! Just wanted to add that I am currently working on a tribute to the original Blade Runner soundtrack... as the action of that movie takes place in November 2019 (!) Now re-creating the sound of the legendary Yamaha CS-80 (played by Vangelis) by programming varied analog synthesizers (I do not own a CS-80). Stay tuned!
- turc1656 7y agoI thought you already had a "Blade Runner" style one listed as Electric Sheep, no? https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/customElectricSheep.php https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/customElectricSheep.php I really like that one, BTW.
- audiosampling 7y agoWell spotted! If you read the introductory text on that one, it is meant as a teaser for the upcoming one. The difference is that 'Electric Sheep' is made of sound sources taken from other myNoise generators, while the upcoming one will come with its own original sources.
- turc1656 7y agoAh, cool. Yeah I didn't read - just let it play. Looking forward to the originally sourced upcoming version!
- cr0sh 7y agoAs a subscriber, this is nice to hear about; I was actually thinking about creating my own (however that is done - I know it is possible in some manner as a subscriber) - but I'm not an audio expert so I would probably have screwed it up anyhow. There used to be a site that allowed you to "mash up" multiple sources of audio and gifs to create ambient backgrounds. One that was my favorite consisted of a particular "rain and thunderstorm" audio track, an audio track of "bladerunner ambience" sound, plus a track (pick whatever) of "You are listening to {city}" - which was (is still?) a site that had recordings (or live streams - I don't recall) of police scanner recordings. You could take those, mix them up, then drop a background on screen of a "cyberpunk city" and add javascripted "rain drops" as if you were looking out a window onto the city... It was a great effect, but like most things on the internet, the "pieces" either went away or changed in some fashion, and it was no longer available. But I've always wanted that same thing back - and what you describe might come really close to that. Can't wait to see (ok, hear) it!
- Analemma_ 7y agoI love MyNoise so much. I looked for a long time for a good white noise generator, since there are so many crappy ones on the Internet, and MyNoise nails every last detail. If you're in a similar position, definitely scroll through the variety of noise generators available, you'll almost certainly find one or more that work great for you. Please consider donating to the creator if you like what you find, I really want that site to stay online indefinitely.
- devin 7y ago@audiosampling: Is there a way to get these on the iOS myNoise app?
- audiosampling 7y agoComposite generators are web specials at the moment, but as soon as the mobile app developer - who reads us here on hacker news, I am sure - finished struggling with the Android app, he will probably implement these composite generators on the mobile apps too. It shouldn't be too difficult, it's more a data parsing issue, than actual programming.
