Recently iOS included a native noise generator that bypasses the need for external services like Spotify or websites. It offers six different kinds of noise to listen to on your phone.

It’s in the iPhone control center under the ear icon (which you may have to enable). The feature is called ‘background sounds’.




macOS as well. Though it's not exactly a 'generator'. Even for white/pink noise it's just playing an audio file.


I wouldn’t recommend using it, if it’s really looping. At some point you notice the loop point and wait till it happens.


It's not really the kind of audio that you'd be able to notice looping. The white/pink/brown noise files are each a minute long, and the stream/ocean/rain sounds are comprised of 17-20 sound files between 1-3 minutes long (and I'm guessing it randomizes the playback order).


Iirc Google Assistant has similar.
