Violet Noise. Press play, breathe, and let it settle.

Violet Noise Tap to play
VOL Silent
Steady violet noise, generated live in your browser and looped seamlessly. Works on speakers or headphones, no app and no download. This is a bright color with almost no low end, so it has no bass control; Smooth rolls off the harsh highs (Smooth or Super), tuned for this color. Volume starts low on purpose: raise it to a comfortable, even wash.

What is violet noise?

Violet is the brightest noise color of all (also called purple noise), weighted hardest toward the highest frequencies, a thin airy hiss. People play it to mask very high-pitched sounds and ringing, and hold a sharp, bright focus field. On this page you can play it free, with no app and no sign-up: just tap the disc above.

It pairs beautifully with breathwork, journaling, yoga, or simply a few quiet minutes with your eyes closed. Start low, stay comfortable, and let the sound do the work.
