myNoise vs Noisli

myNoise

• People masking office chatter or household noise while they work
• Listeners who want to tune each layer of a soundscape themselves
• Sleep, tinnitus relief and meditation as well as focus
• Anyone who prefers a one-time payment to a subscription

Noisli

• Masking office, traffic or household noise while working
• People who prefer mixing their own ambient sound to playing music
• Writers who want background sound, a timer and an editor in one tab

myNoise

• Free visitors see only a curated selection of generators; the full index needs a donation.
• A website donation does not unlock the mobile apps, which are sold separately through the app stores.
• App pricing is not on the website: the US App Store lists unlocks at $14.99 and $19.99, and Google Play lists in-app items from $0.99 to $24.99.
• The sounds are for personal use only; commercial or public use needs a license from myNoise.

Noisli

• The Free plan limits streaming to 1.5 hours a day and includes 16 of the 28 sounds.
• Oscillation, Shuffle, the advanced Timer and the advanced Text Editor need Pro or Business.
• Noisli says plan features are intended for desktop browsers on Mac or Windows; the iPhone and iPad app is a separate $1.99 purchase.
• The site also names an Android app and a Chrome extension, but its Google Play link returned Not Found and its Chrome Web Store link showed the item as not available.

myNoise

Adjustable sound generators

Each soundscape has its own sliders, so you set the level of every layer, such as waves, wind and rain, instead of playing a fixed recording.

Noise colors and speech masking

White Noise & Co plays white, pink, brown and gray noise, and the Speech Blocker generator is set to the average speech spectrum to cover background chatter.

Generators grouped by purpose

The index sorts sounds by use, including focus, sleep, tinnitus relief, ADHD, open-plan offices, baby sleep, relaxing music and binaural beats.

Animation and advanced controls

Patrons get Animation Control, which moves the sliders over time, plus slider randomization and tape speed control on every generator.

Community sound combinations

Patrons can browse thousands of user-made combinations on the Community page, and post, vote and comment on them.

Mobile apps with offline listening

The app's store listing describes 300+ soundscapes, a Creation Mode that combines up to 10 sliders from any soundscape, a meditation bell and offline listening.

Noisli

Sound mixer

28 background sounds, each with its own volume control, can be layered into a mix that Noisli calls a Combo. The Free plan includes 16 of them.

Curated Playlists

Playlists group suggested Combos for situations such as focus, study, writing and sleep. Free accounts get 3 Playlists and paid plans 10.

Favorites

Save your own Combos to replay later and share them with other people. The Free plan stores up to 5 and paid plans up to 10.

Session Timer

Set the length of work sessions and breaks, with optional auto-start and a daily count of finished sessions. Sounds stop when the time is up.

Text Editor

A minimal writing space with Markdown formatting and a word counter. Text is saved to the account and can be downloaded or sent to Dropbox or Google Drive.

Oscillation and Shuffle

On paid plans, Oscillation slowly varies the volume of sounds within a Combo, and Shuffle moves between Combos at a frequency you set.
