About this scene
A tall waterfall heard from close by: a broad, rushing roar, a low rumble where the water lands, and fine spray all around.
It covers a wide range of frequencies like white noise does, but with the slow surges of real water. Add crickets for a waterfall at night, or the stream for the river below it.
Good for
- Sleep, for people who find white noise too artificial
- Blocking out voices and household noise while you work
- A cool, fresh-sounding backdrop on warm nights

Nothing streams: every sound is made on your device, so it uses almost no data, never buffers, and keeps playing with your phone locked. Move any slider above to change the mix, save it under My mixes, or set the sleep timer to fade out gently.

Questions
- How long do the waterfall play?
- For as long as you leave the page open. The sound loops seamlessly with no gap, so it can run all night. Use the sleep timer to fade it out after 15 minutes up to 8 hours, or set your own time.
- Does it keep playing with my phone locked?
- Yes. Press Play, then lock the screen or switch apps and the sound carries on. Your phone shows the usual media controls to pause it.
- Is it free? Do I need an account?
- It is free and needs no sign-up. Your levels and saved mixes stay in this browser.
- Can I change the waterfall?
- Yes. The scene is a starting point: waterfall, wind. Move any slider, add other sounds, then save it under My mixes or share the link.
- Does it use much data?
- Almost none. Nothing is streamed; each sound is made on your device when you turn it on.
