Ocean Sounds for Babies
Play repeating ocean-wave audio directly in your browser. The recording rises and falls more noticeably than white noise or rain.
Begin at a low device volume and keep the phone, speaker and cables outside the cot.
What do ocean sounds sound like?
Ocean-wave recordings have a repeating swell and fade. That makes them more rhythmic than a steady white-noise hiss and less fine-grained than the patter of rain. The choice is personal: some households prefer a very steady background, while others prefer a more natural rise and fall.
Practical listening tips
- Turn the device down before starting playback.
- Keep devices, speakers and cables away from the cot or Moses basket.
- Use the recording as background sound rather than as a substitute for safer-sleep practices.
- If the sound seems intrusive or uncomfortable, lower it or stop playback.
Ocean waves, rain or white noise?
White noise is the most constant of the three. Rain adds smaller irregular changes. Ocean waves have the clearest repeating rise and fall. You can switch among all three on the main player without downloading an app.
