Ambient Noise App for Ubuntu

Google Play and Apple app stores are packed full of ambient and white noise apps. Now a similar tool is available natively on Ubuntu.

The app, which is also known as ‘ANoise Player’ and is made by Marcos Costales, comes with a set of 8 high-quality sounds.
These 8 presets cover various ambient atmospheres, ranging from the rhythmic sound of rain, to the tranquil tones of nature at night, and back to the buzz of a bustling coffee shop in the afternoon.

Install ANoise Player in Ubuntu

Ambient Noise player for Ubuntu is a free application and is available to install from its own dedicated PPA.
To do this open a new Terminal window and run:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:costales/anoise

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install anoise

Once installed simply open it from the Unity Dash (or your DE’s equivalent), pick your preferred noise using Sound Menu and then …relax! The app even remembers which sound you used last.
Even so, give it a try out and see if it suits your needs. I would say let me know what you think, but I will be too focused to hear — and so might you!
