Ocean waves only
The preview uses Yixiu's matching ocean recording rather than music or a synthetic tone labeled as a nature sound.
Real ocean waves · slow tide · no music

No music or talking
There are no lyrics, instructions, stories or changing tracks to follow after the room gets quiet.
Timer and background play
Choose 15, 30 or 60 minutes in the iPhone app, lock the screen and let the tide continue without another decision.
A quieter setup before bed
Let the waves fade into the room
Ocean sound moves more than steady rain. Preview the fullest wave and choose one fixed ending before you settle in.
- 01
Listen for the strongest break
Set the volume using the fullest wave, not only the softer water between each return.
- 02
Keep important sounds audible
Use the lowest level that changes the edge of the room while leaving an alarm, another person and anything important easy to hear.
- 03
Set one timer and stop adjusting
Choose 15, 30 or 60 minutes, place the phone out of reach and let the ending happen without reopening the sound library.
Choose by texture, not a universal ranking
Ocean, rain or wind for bedtime?
The useful sound is the one that becomes less noticeable after a few minutes rather than repeatedly pulling attention back toward the speaker.
- 01
Ocean for a slow repeating rhythm
Choose waves when the gradual rise, break and return feels easier to leave in the background than a flat continuous layer.
- 02
Rain for a steadier surface
Try rain sounds for sleep when each wave feels too distinct and you prefer a more even texture around the room.
- 03
Wind for wider movement
Use mountain wind sounds when open air and slowly changing gusts feel less noticeable than the repeating shoreline.
Before you press play
Ocean waves for sleeping: common questions
Do these ocean waves include music or talking?
No. The preview contains ocean-wave ambience without music, lyrics, narration or a spoken sleep story.
Are ocean waves steady enough for bedtime?
Ocean waves rise, break and return in a repeating rhythm. Preview the strongest break at a low volume first. If each wave keeps taking your attention, choose a steadier rain recording instead.
How loud should ocean waves be while sleeping?
Use the lowest level that gently changes the room and still lets you hear an alarm, another person or anything important around you. Avoid placing a speaker directly beside your head.
Can the waves continue when I lock my iPhone?
Yes. With background playback enabled in Yixiu, the ocean scene can continue when the screen is locked or you leave the app. You can also set a 15, 30 or 60 minute timer.
