NightNoise is a **sporadic disturbance training app** designed to help you become more comfortable sleeping in real-world environments by simulating unpredictable nighttime sounds.

Unlike traditional white noise or sleep apps, NightNoise doesn’t try to mask the sounds around you. Instead, it introduces subtle, randomized disturbances — similar to the kinds of noises you might hear in everyday life — to help you slowly build tolerance over time.

I created this app for myself after struggling my whole life with sensitivity to sound while sleeping. As a travelling musician, I often found myself in difficult sleep environments — music playing through walls, air conditioning units humming, people snoring, footsteps, doors — and I was always the only one awake, frustrated and exhausted while everyone else slept soundly.

NightNoise started as a personal experiment.

By using it very gently, and gradually, I was able to become more comfortable sleeping through unexpected sounds. I started at almost silent levels and increased the volume slowly over time. The progress wasn’t linear — some nights were easier than others — but over time, things that once felt impossible became manageable.

Today, I can sleep through situations that would previously wake me instantly, like someone leaving the bed or moving around in the morning.

### How It Works

NightNoise features:
• Realistic, randomized sound events
• Dynamic white-noise style loops that shift in pitch and volume
• A unique soundscape every time you start a session

It’s designed to simulate the type of unpredictable sounds that naturally occur at night.

This is **not a soothing app**, and it isn’t about forcing anything. It’s about gentle, gradual exposure at your own pace.

### How to Use

For best results:

• Start at very low volumes
• If you wake up, reduce the volume
• Progress slowly over nights or weeks
• Use a decent speaker or device capable of bass for more realistic sound simulation

If it ever feels too intense, it’s turned up too high. You can’t force progress — and your tolerance may vary from day to day.

### A Personal Note

This app changed my sleep experience after a lifetime of struggle.
It helped me — and I’d love to know if it can help you, too.
