Frequently asked questions
Is Zen Soundscape really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no subscription, and no paywall. You can mix and play any of our nature sounds as long as you like, on any device, right in your browser.
Can I mix multiple sounds together?
Absolutely. That's the heart of Zen Soundscape. Turn on as many sounds as you like — rain over a fireplace, ocean waves with wind chimes, white noise under cafe ambience — and adjust each one's volume independently to craft your perfect soundscape.
How does the sleep timer work?
Open the timer menu and pick 15, 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes. Zen Soundscape will play your mix and then gently fade out and stop on its own — so you can fall asleep without the sound running all night or stopping abruptly and waking you.
Can I share a mix with someone?
Yes. Tap the share button to copy a link to your exact mix — including which sounds are on and at what volume. Anyone who opens the link gets your soundscape, ready to play. We also offer curated, shareable preset mixes.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes — Zen Soundscape works on phones, tablets, and computers. On iPhone and iPad, audio plays even with the silent switch on. You can also 'Add to Home Screen' to use it like a regular app.
Are nature sounds actually good for sleep and focus?
Research suggests steady, natural background sounds can help mask disruptive noise, slow your breathing, and lower stress — all of which support falling asleep and staying focused. The best sound is the one you personally find calming, which is why mixing your own is so effective.
