At least to my ears, it sounds great - when I close my eyes, it’s easy to imagine the chickens scratching for bugs in the dirt and the cows ambling through the field below the house. My preferred mixture is heavy on the bird songs in Sunny Day, with about half a dose of On The Farm, and just a touch of a creek in the distance courtesy of River Stream. I must confess a certain lack of variability in my own usage. It’s easy to save and switch between these soundscapes. You might like just one of these sounds, but what sets Noizio apart is that you can combine multiple options into a personalized mixture, even blending the different sounds at different levels. Click a sound’s icon to enable or disable it, and move its slider to set how loud the sound should be. It offers 15 different ambient sounds that play in seamless loops: October Rain, Coffee House, Thunderstorm, Campfire, Winter Wind, Sea Waves, River Stream, Summer Night, Sunny Day, Deep Space, Sailing Yacht, Inside Train, On The Farm, Wind Chimes, and Blue Whales.

Usually, working with a computer can be a bit distracting due to exterior noises coming from our crowded cities or from all around our workplaces. As technology evolves at such a high rate, more and more of us make our living by working with computers in offices.
