Show HN: Ambient soundscape generator for productivity
- polygonplanet 11y agoGymnopédie's BPM feel faster.
- razbo 11y agoEric Satie is my favorite one too.
- polygonplanet 11y agoMe too, thanks to really beautiful sounds.
- anishkothari 11y agoThis is really well done! Cheers and thank you
- razbo 11y agoThank you for your feedback, in fact, the site has 2 independant parts: a) noise generator and b) videoscapes.
- shasta 11y agoVery nice. Do you know why it caps out at 5 or 6 sounds for me? Once I've loaded that many sounds, even if I've turned them back off, I can't play any others unless I reload the page. Edit: Actually I think it's just slow loading. I think it might be useful to have a play/stop toggle instead of having to turn all of the components off.
- razbo 11y agoTryed with 10 sound at once, works good on my side.
- charliefg 11y agoThat's really... what word to use? .... that's really fresh! I like it a lot. Spent some time going to sleep with '10 hours of rain' youtube videos in the background. This is like all the soundscapes in one place. I particularly liked it when I found out I could layer jungle/paradise island and rain together... sweet.
- RevRal 11y agoCan you add an independent volume control (unless I've missed it....)? I like to play smooth jazz over stuff like this :). Especially the rain and fire sounds. It would make finding proper volume proportions easier.
- razbo 11y agoGot it! we will add the volume in the near future.
- pbreit 11y agoWell done. How about a timer for using it to go to sleep?
- razbo 11y agoThe code is ready for this, have no time to implement it, surely soon.
- kvnabbott 11y agoVery similar to http://www.noisli.com/ http://www.noisli.com/, which was posted here a few months ago.
- razbo 11y agoAnd also http://hipstersound.com http://hipstersound.com posted here
- razbo 11y agoPlease, note, there is a video section also, with 8 HD video and one hidden
- lucianp 11y agoSuperb! I like it a lot! A timer for going to sleep would be awesome. Towards the end, the volumne should decrease slowly. I think an alarm function for waking up would be a nice feature as well. You could set the sounds that you like and when the time comes it would slowly increase the volume over a perioad of 10-15 minutes. This way you could wake up slowly and naturally (forest + rain + thunder would work well as an alarm, for me at least).
- lukeHeuer 11y agoWow this is an outright plagiarized clone of noisli.com and their app. I understand they aren't on Android yet, but copying their exact UI to essentially create a competing site and app feels wrong.
- razbo 11y agoThe generator is made in the popular flat style, it's the only similitude. Our site was created as a video site with sounds first, then lately a page with all sounds on the video was added.
- razbo 11y agoThe Android app has really nothing to do with it. Exact UI? Our App is multipage (7 audio pages with full menu) and their has 3 completely different pages for all sounds . "Exact" is the wrong word.
- brightsize 11y agoNice work. I've been a Noisli user for quite some time but this raises the bar. The vids are a particularly nice feature.
- razbo 11y agoFor productivity sounds: to deblock Barselona and Australia café sounds, you can go directly at http://hipstersound.com/ambient.html http://hipstersound.com/ambient.html
- razbo 11y agoIt's better to say it looks like http://www.ambicular.com/ http://www.ambicular.com/ , but it's a "sister" site and also our work in progress.
- tbrake 11y agoVery nice. I quite like the fan option; don't think I've seen it in other noise generators. The drone of it is good. A 'warehouse fan' option that's a little more bass-y and a little slower would be cool. For some reason fans / lawnmower type sounds have always been the most relaxing for me, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcxeZ4Wwdn0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcxeZ4Wwdn0 (edit: and now that I post that, a lawnmower sound would be fantastic, but I don't know how much of a weird outlier I am.)
- krozo 11y agoI suppose the first page with a magiv forest is not real video...
- krozo 11y agoI suppose the first page with a magiv forest is not real video?
- razbo 11y ago??
- razbo 11y agoDont really sure, the magic forest is probably a texture mapping
- krozo 11y agoWould be nice to have an independent volume control
- razbo 11y agotimer + volume is coming
- razbo 11y agoProbably more different forest sounds will be added soon.
- ghostwriter 11y agohttp://mynoise.net/ http://mynoise.net/ has been around for several years and it developed the idea even further, allowing you to tune the intensity of each individual sound.
- razbo 11y agoExactly, so all generators are pumped their idea from MyNoise, if it was the 1st one.
- razbo 11y agoIn fact, there are tons, the difference is their sounds.
- krozo 11y agoUse the Time Internet Machine to check who was the first one...
- krozo 11y agoThe real question is what noise i more productive: white or pink?
