My goto ambient sound: 6 Hours of Ambient Sound from Forbidden Planet: The Great Krell Machine
Maybe the commenter isn’t just tone deaf but is fully deaf and can’t benefit from this.I'm pretty sure it's under Accessibility for a good reason.
Then you can count yourself lucky. Not everybody can say of themselves that they do not need the Accessibility settings. To be honest, I find your comment a bit tone deaf.
Probably because this is a great feature for someone on autism spectrum, ADHD etc.filing under Accessibility is odd
I minimize background sounds and distractions with noise cancelling headphones.
And you wouldn't be able to do something else on your iPhone if you're listening to it on YouTube.My goto ambient sound: 6 Hours of Ambient Sound from Forbidden Planet: The Great Krell Machine
I have "reduce motion" because I find the animation where the app icons fly in when unlocking just way too irritating. I wish I could let all the other animations on but just disable the unlocking one. Having the switch in accessibility makes me very self-conscious.“We’ve got a new feature but we’re not quite sure where in Settings to put it.”
“Just jam it into Accessibility.”
Thanks for the suggestion! Just downloaded this.
soundscaping is becoming a HUGE industry and I’m curious how this will affect positively for mental health from all challenges.
Filing on assessability’s because most of the western world still does not understand mental health or the issues that many millions of people are suffering even more more more lately in our part of the world or in our culture even having a psychiatrist is frowned upon yet in many countries in South America or the rest of the world your front upon if you don’t have a personal psychiatrist by the time you’re 12. Hence why it’s listed under accessibility because sooner or later it will be part of health

That's the one I use to help me get to sleep sometimes. I don't think Apple's version has a timer function though so isn't a replacement.My favorite for this is myNoise. Has a TON of different sounds and new ones are added frequently across a lot of genres. A lot of the soundscapes are customizable -- so in a forest scene for example you can dial down the birds or crank up the creek. Pretty great.
The other thing I like about it is that it lets you mix its audio with other apps. I will mix in a background sound with my meditation app to help mask outside noise, for instance.
This is pretty helpful. It’s nice to not rely on an app for ambient sounds like this. You can also add “Hearing” to Control Center to enable this on the fly.
I'm also a big fan of myNoise. I love combining the "Mr. Rhodes" 'scape with something like "Rain Noise" or "Unreal Ocean" - some soft ambient nature sounds - and just let it go in the background.Thanks for the suggestion! Just downloaded this.

I think you’re applying too limited a definition for accessibility. You should explore its features. You might find others you could benefit from.But accessibility ≠ health (mental or otherwise). Accessibility features are meant to be those that are specifically to improve ease of use of the phone for people who might otherwise struggle to use its standard interface for one reason or another. That's something distinctly different from a feature of the phone that helps people manage or prevent health issues (which is what this is). So I agree, whilst I can see this as being a useful feature, I think putting this in Accessibility is illogical, makes it difficult to find, and leaves it less likely to be discovered by someone who might benefit from it.
To be honest, I find your comment a bit tone deaf.
