About this app

Slo is a brown noise and sleep sounds app with 150+ curated sounds for sleep, focus, and relaxation. Play deep brown noise on its own, or mix it with rain, waves, and fan sounds — each layer with its own volume — and set a sleep timer that stops playback automatically.

Key features


• Brown noise – deep, low-frequency rumble many people choose for focus and sleep
• White, pink & green noise – broadband noise colors for masking background sound
• Binaural beats & frequencies – binaural beats, solfeggio tones (396–963 Hz, including 432 Hz and 528 Hz) and Schumann resonance tones
• Rain sounds – steady rainfall and distant thunderstorms
• Waves & water – ocean waves, river, waterfall
• Fan sounds – ceiling fan, table fan, airplane cabin
• Nature & ambience – forest, birds, wind, fireplace, campfire, train
• Sound mixing – layer sounds, each with its own volume control
• Sleep timer – playback stops on its own after you drift off

Made for


• Light sleepers who use steady sound to mask traffic, neighbors, or a snoring partner
• Students and deep workers who keep brown noise or fan noise running for hours
• People who wind down to binaural beats, solfeggio tones, or steady frequencies
• People who use sound masking at night to make tinnitus ringing less noticeable
• Anyone building a consistent wind-down routine — same mix, same timer, every night

Why Slo?


A focused sound machine, not a content platform: 150+ curated sounds, a mixer with per-layer volume, and a sleep timer. No voices, no playlists — steady sound that sits in the background while you sleep, study, or work.

Slo is free to download and try; the full sound library is a premium purchase inside the app.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the best app for brown noise?
Slo is built around brown noise: play it on its own, or layer it under rain or a fan sound with a separate volume for each layer, and set a timer so it stops on its own.

Does brown noise help you sleep?
Brown noise doesn't treat anything — what it does is mask. A steady low-frequency sound covers unpredictable noise like traffic, doors, and snoring, which is why many light sleepers keep it running at night.

Can I use Slo for tinnitus?
Steady broadband sounds like brown and pink noise can help mask tinnitus ringing — many people set a low volume that makes the ringing less noticeable at night. Slo is a sound player, not a treatment; persistent or one-sided tinnitus needs a medical assessment.

What are solfeggio frequencies and binaural beats?
Slo includes solfeggio tones (396–963 Hz, with 432 Hz and 528 Hz), Schumann resonance tones, and binaural beats — steady tones many people play for meditation and winding down. Try one with headphones and keep it if you like it.

What's the difference between brown, white, pink and green noise?
White noise spreads energy evenly across all frequencies (like static). Pink noise shifts energy toward lower frequencies (like steady rain). Green noise centers on the middle of the spectrum. Brown noise goes deepest — a low rumble like a waterfall or strong wind. Slo includes all of them, so try each and keep what suits you.

Can I use it for studying and focus?
Yes. Many users prefer brown noise or fan noise as a steady background for studying and deep work, because a constant sound gives the ear nothing new to chase.

Can I mix multiple sounds together?
Yes. Layer brown noise with rain, add thunder over a fan, and set each sound's volume separately to build your own soundscape.

Does Slo have a sleep timer?
Yes. Set the timer when you press play and playback stops automatically.

Is Slo free?
Slo is free to download and try; the full 150+ sound library is a premium purchase inside the app.

OFFERS A ONE TIME PURCHASE!!!! there are subscription options too, but this is HUGE for me. I'm sick of finding self help apps that will only help you if u can remain consistently employed. The free version is great too, other apps make me watch an advert to play the sound i want... while I'm trying to sleep. Im yet to experience that with this app. I will be making that one time purchase at my earliest convenience lol.

Thanks, appreciate your kind words!:) Subs make sense with apps that have recurring costs per user, but in this case, they are low enough that I can afford to offer one-time payments. Glad you enjoy it! and if you need anything, lmk, I'm available via email or on Discord (find it in app settings)

Dev is very responsive to feedback, and will look into adding my sound suggestions to the sound collection! Slo also offers a monthly plan opposed to Bettersleep who only offers yearly plans. I was looking for a sound app that had a variety and abundance of different sounds, adjustable volumes, and the ability to mix them up. Looking forward to the sound additions in the future.

I've been using this for over a year and bought the premium version. I will say it is very worth the money and highly recommend premium. I did encounter a problem that's been going on a bit - the app would shut down. I could relaunch it and it would work. I clicked the feedback button on the app and reported my issue. That was last night. This morning, I had an email from the developer who asked a couple more questions. Sam day, he's instituting a fix that will go into place in 24 hrs. Kudos!
