I made these sounds and this web page after a rather frustrating time searching the Internet for free MP3s of ambient white-noise stuff -- things to help my baby boy sleep.
I was amazed when I found no high quality long playing mp3s free of charge.
So here you are!
Download these sounds into your iPod or whatever you use to lull your child (or yourself) to sleep.
These are original synthesized creations using Logic Audio Pro and Native Instruments Traktor. No real ocean waves here -- they're too unpredictable and their crashing sometimes wakes up the baby. :) These are computer-generated white noise waves that have been filtered to remove the harsh frequencies found in "true" white noise.
If you're looking for something a little more musical, see the ambient music page.
Each soundtrack lasts about 35 minutes, which means you can fit two of them on a CD and then put that CD on infinite loop.
If you're using an iPod and you want these sounds to last for a 3 hour long nap time (don't we all!) just make a playlist that includes the sounds over and over.
Right-click any of the MP3s listed above (or control-click on Macintosh) to download the mp3 to your computer. (Regular-clicking may just play the MP3 in your web browser.)
