騒音in Japanese means noise, specifically a loud or unpleasant sound. It is used to describe disturbances from traffic, neighbors, or other loud activities.

Support

sōon is a delightful little app that lets you play ambient and "coloured" noises to block out outside distractions and help you focus, whether you're working, traveling, commuting, or simply relaxing.

No clutter, no mixing and matching, and no endless selection of tracks. You'll only have nine to choose from. Set your three favorites, organize them by dragging them to order, set a timer if needed, and play.

Comes with a small Apple Watch companion app that syncs your favorites to your Apple Watch, and allows you to play those tracks without your iPhone.

We don't collect any information about your usage or your identity. What, when, and where you use the app, is your business.

Requires: iOS 26+ / WatchOS 26+

Android Beta on Google Play

We created the app to be small, purposeful, and not a distraction. We designed it for Material 3, to showcase what a tiny Android app can and should be.

It's stunning in regular mode and even more beautiful in dark mode. It draws colours from your current theme, so it blends in from the start.

Control it through Lock Screen and Shade, utilize widget to play your Favorites without even opening the app, activate haptic engine for some extra purring.

Requires: Android 13+
