One small decision

Let the sound machine become background.

The recording is not a promised result. It is an optional texture for the room while you rest, read, work or pause.

  1. 01

    Start at low volume

    Set the sound just high enough to hear, without asking it to fill the room.

  2. 02

    Choose one texture

    If a recording keeps pulling your attention forward, try a steadier option.

  3. 03

    Set a finish line

    Choose 15, 30 or 60 minutes, then stop adjusting and return to the moment in front of you.

Online sound machine questions

Is this online sound machine free?

Yes. All 10 browser recordings and the 15-, 30- and 60-minute timer can be used without an account or ads.

Is this the same as a free online noise generator?

It can serve the same everyday purpose, but Yixiu plays recorded rain, water, wind, birds, thunder and underwater white noise instead of generating an adjustable electronic tone or frequency.

Which sound should I choose?

There is no universal best sound. Try a few at the same low volume and keep the texture that can sit behind your room without asking for attention.

Will the sound continue when I lock my iPhone?

The web player works while the page remains open. Yixiu for iPhone adds background playback when you lock the screen or switch apps.

Does the timer stop the recording?

Yes. Choose 15, 30 or 60 minutes and the active web recording stops when that timer reaches zero.
