If you’re anything like me, silence isn’t always golden. Whether I’m trying to drown out the bustling sounds of the city or just trying to focus on writing my next review while my French Bulldog, Kermit, decides it’s the perfect time to play with a squeaky toy, I often need a background buffer.
For years, I relied on third-party apps like Calm or Dark Noise to fill that silence with white noise. They work great, but they often come with subscription fees, and honestly, I need to have a bit of a 2026 subscription declutter this year.
