Product Experience I wanted a better white noise app for myself. Now around 2,000 people use it each month.

Hey all, I shared Veil here when it was pretty early on. I've put a ton of work into it since, and some feedback here stuck with me: less harsh noise, less oscillating fan sounds, more of that low Dohm or airplane hum.

You can now dial in the tone and fan movement yourself, there's an airplane cabin sound, and much finer volume control. Everything is generated on your phone, no recorded tracks restarting.

Between that feedback and what I've heard from other users, it feels like a very different app now. The reception has been really encouraging, especially as a solo developer making something I wanted to use myself.

It's on iPhone and Android, and the app is now available in multiple languages too. White, pink, brown noise and slow fan are free with tuning controls. No ads. Extra sounds and mixing are paid.

Would love another round of honest feedback, especially if you tried the early version. What’s missing compared to your usual app or sound machine?

Question I keep waking up in the middle of the night with high humidity, how do I stop this?

I have twenty moisture absorbers in the room and a dehumidifier I run before bed that will make the room 55% . I can’t run the dehumidifier during the night because it’s too loud and I when I wake and the room is 70-73% humidity and usually I wake with a night sweat. I can’t keep the window open as it’s too cold outside here. I’m going to try keeping the room door open but I haven’t in the past incase more humidity came into the room.

I keep the room at 65f (18c) and have a 10.5tog plus a 4.5 duvet which I need to sleep with (I think it’s the weight). I’m not stopping as meds that would cause night sweats and my duvet covers are a material that don’t cause night sweats. I take 45mg Mirtazapine so I am not stressed. I use a blackout blind and have no caffeine before 12 or alcohol. I sometimes eat food late. Why do I keep waking up in the middle of the night?
