I recently discovered an app that I use on my iMac at work for background sounds. Noizio, an app from developer Kyrylo Kovalin has a free and paid version. the free version offers five nature sounds that can be combined into 25 distinct tracks. The paid version is $9.99 in the Mac App Store (also available on Setapp).

The paid version has 40 different sounds: Birds in Park, Blue Whales, Campfire, City Street, Clock, Deep Space, Desert, Farm, Frogs and Crickets, Ghosty, Heartbeat, Inside Train, Keyboard Typing, Kitty Purr, Magical Chimes, Night Owls, October Rain, Old Typewriter, Paris, Cafe, Pink Noise, Playground, River Stream, Sailing Yacht, Sea Waves, Ship Hull, Space Drone, Subway, Summer Night, Sunny Day, Thunderstorm, Tropical Birds, Vinyl Cracks, White Noise, Wind Chimes, Winter Wind, Alpha Waves, Beta Waves, Gamma Waves, Delta Waves, Theta Waves.

You can choose a single sound or any combination and save the mix as a custom loop. Noizio has a master volume but each sound also has it's own volume control so you can really fine tune what you hear. The mixes are played in a continuous loop, although you can set a timer to have them quit whenever you want. You can use the app offline, so it's perfect for providing background noise even when you are away from wi-fi.

Noizio has been downloaded over 1,000,000 times and has a 4.8 satisfaction rating in the App Store. It does not collect any data about you.
