Sleep Machine Lite app review: advanced ambient white noise

Introduction

If you’re looking for a free sleep aid app for your iPhone and iPad then be sure to check out Sleep Machine Lite, which contains 10 professionally recorded ambient sounds that you can mix together to sleep more deeply than you ever imagined possible.

Comparing the free or lite versions of apps to their paid counterparts is often fairly disheartening as the functionality is so minimal that you can barely get much use out of it. This is definitely not the case with Sleep Machine Lite.

There is more than enough content in this app for you to conjure up some great ambient sound mixes, so I’d definitely recommend checking it out. Of course, if you like what you see then it’s well worth investing in the full version of Sleep Machine.

Access a Free Sample of 10 Ambient Sounds

This is the free version of Sleep Machine, providing a generous ample of 10 ambient sounds, with such names as Beach, Crickets, Fan, Heavy Rain, White Noise, Wind, and Bells. This should give you a clear idea of what to expect from the full version of the app.

In addition to these ambient sounds you’ll also enjoy an ambient music track and three ambient alarm sounds, and you can access the full mixing functionality in order to create your own mixes and find combinations that work well for you.

 

Add Your Own Music to the Mix

Sleep Machine Lite for iPhone and iPad enables you to import your own tracks from your iTunes Music Library, so if you want to hear the ribbit of frogs while listening to Franz Ferdinand, or the whispers of the wind while being regaled by Willie Nelson then you should be quite satisfied with this option!

What’s more, you can set up a sleep timer to make the sounds fade out rather than cut off suddenly, and you can also adjust the screen brightness simply by swiping up or down on the screen. This should certainly save your retinas in the dark of night!
