Baby sleep sound
Ocean sound for babies
A wide, even hush of the sea. Gentle swells with no sharp crashes.
Listen to a sample: Ocean
The sample loops. Keep your device volume low.
About this sound
The ocean sound in the app is the far-off, continuous hush of the sea. It has slow swells in volume, but it is smoother than the beat of waves hitting a beach.
Why parents use it
The swells are slow, like breathing. That makes it feel alive without being distracting. It sits between white noise and a rhythm sound, which makes it a good middle ground if your baby finds plain hiss dull and distinct waves too active.
Good for
- Babies and toddlers
- Parents who want a natural, calm sound
- Naps and bedtime
Using it safely
- Keep the volume low. The swells make the loudest moments louder than the average.
- Try ocean waves for a more defined rhythm.
- Pair it with a bedtime routine. See a white noise bedtime routine.
