A Noisli alternative with music in it
Noisli is a background sound mixer: you blend recorded sounds such as rain, wind, a coffee shop or white noise. ONDA composes ambient music live on your device and can add rain, ocean, wind, air or hearth beds beneath it. Choose Noisli for pure sound mixing, ONDA when you want slow, wordless music that never loops.
Sound mixer or composer
A sound mixer gives you building blocks and leaves the arrangement to you. ONDA gives you a finished, evolving composition for a moment such as Focus or Sleep, and lets you shape its character with one control.
What ONDA adds
- Music, not only ambience: slow harmony and occasional phrases over the nature bed.
- Seven spaces, from Focus to Sleep, each with three soundscapes.
- A timer that fades out and lock-screen playback.
- Works offline after the first visit.
Where Noisli may suit you better
If you want to build your own mix from many separate sounds, such as a café plus rain plus a fan, Noisli is designed for that.

Questions
Can ONDA play just rain with no music?
ONDA is built around music; the nature beds sit underneath it. For pure rain or white noise, a sound mixer like Noisli is the better fit.
Is ONDA free?
Yes, during the preview. You can listen for 10 minutes straight away with no sign-up, then create a free account with just an email address to keep listening.
Does ONDA work offline?
Yes. ONDA composes the music on your device instead of streaming it, so after the first visit it keeps working without a connection. You can add it to your home screen and it plays with the screen locked.
