About this app

For any problems or support, please email gabriel@asoftmurmur.com


Upgrade to Marshmallow 6.0.1


Android Marshmallow 6.0.0 has problems when all sounds are unlocked. This is fixed in Marshmallow 6.0.1. If your device is on 6.0.0 and cannot upgrade to 6.0.1 it might be a good idea not to unlock all the sounds.


If you need help with any problems, please contact me at gabriel@asoftmurmur.com


Fully Offline


Download once, listen whenever and where you like. All sounds are stored locally and there are no ads or other network requests.


Smooth Gapless Playback


Other ambient sound apps have annoying gaps or clicks when the player reaches the end of a track and loops back to the beginning. A Soft Murmur plays totally seamless and uninterrupted audio so it never interrupts your focus.


Background audio


A Soft Murmur will play sounds until you tell it to stop - listen while you browse the internet or listen to music.


Sounds


Mix together 10 ambient sounds:


• Rainfall
• Thunder
• Waves
• Gusting wind
• Crackling fireplace*
• Birdsong*
• Crickets*
• Coffee shop*
• Singing bowl*
• White noise*


* These six sounds are unlocked with a single in-app purchase


Meander


When you activate the Meander function, the app gently increases or decreases the volume of each active sound, creating gentle rolling waves of sound that are never the same twice.


Timers


Set A Soft Murmur to fade gently to silence to help you drift into sleep, or set a timer to start or stop playing after a custom length of time. Timers run in the background, even if you user other apps, and show the time left in the notification area. Use timers to transform A Soft Murmur into a versatile productivity app.


Mixes


Save your favorite mixes and give them names. Switch easily between them whenever you like.


Share


A Soft Murmur lets you share your mixes with friends using Facebook Messenger, Twitter, SMS and hundreds of other apps. If your friend has A Soft Murmur installed they can open your mix in the app. If they don't, they can listen to your mix online.

used to love this app!! But now despite being subscribed in annual subscriptions, it won't let me access any paid sounds. it shows my account as "free" until I go to reactivate and it shows as activated and then it shows I already have a subscription if I try to resubscribe, plus it shows I am in good standing on Google Play. but there are errors in letting me play the subscribed sounds. this happened to ALL my devices so it isn't just one device error.

I love this app. I've used it every night for years now. I only have 2 complaints that stop me making this 5 stars. Firstly, sometimes it will just stop playing in the middle of the night for no reason, I thought it was updating, but it's far more frequent than updates are installed. The sudden silence wakes me up and ruins what would've been a great night's sleep. Secondly, it won't stop playing from the notification tray, despite giving me the option to, it does nothing.

Used to be a really strong app. No sign in required, and it still gave like 8 sounds that were good (like rain, thunder, fire, coffee ship). I love the ability to set a timer for it to start or stop playing. But something changed recently, I guess, because the play/stop button is buggy now. I've had to uninstall and reinstall twice now because it wouldn't stop playing when I wanted it to stop.
