"Struggling to complete a project, but distracted and distressed by noise? SoundCurtain may be just the tool you need to banish distracting noise while focusing on the task at hand."
- MacWorld


Do you ever find it difficult working with background noise? You find listening to music interferes with your concentration?

SoundCurtain is a unique application that masks distracting noise by automatically adapting its volume, pitch and tone in response to the noise around you.

Comes with seven generative tracks - featuring intelligent, self-adjusting white noise and harmonic sounds that listen and react to your environment.

SoundCurtain requires a wired headset (not compatible with bluetooth).

SOUNDCURTAIN TECHNOLOGY

SoundCurtain is a new concept in sound control using "adaptive masking technology". It works better than Active Noise Cancellation or traditional (steady-state) masking for blocking-out fast-changing, information-rich noise, such as speech.

The app monitors noise in your environment through your headphones or device mic and performs real-time spectral analysis to calculate the energy content across a number of perceptually-important frequency bands. Sound is then generated in response, with its spectral content optimized to mask ambient noise. The sound is generated using probabilistic rules to ensure that it is varied subtly over time, so that it doesnt become tiring.

You are able to customize the generated sound by changing its Sensitivity, which sets how quickly it adapts to sensed noise; its Minimum Volume, which sets the minimum playback level; and the overall volume through the side buttons of you iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

SoundCurtain ships with a set of sounds which are optimized for masking, while (critically) staying in the background of your perception - allowing you to concentrate or relax.

The Noise masker is scientifically the most accurate masker that exists in any platform or device today. To test it, use the standard iPhone headset and set the headset volume to maximum; set Sensitivity to maximum and Minimum Volume to the minimum setting; ask someone to talk to you - you should not be able to understand them. The generated sound should match exactly the spectrum of the sensed speech, without any discernible delay.

The other presets use more emotive sounds and pleasant harmonics - they aim at increasing acoustic comfort in a noisy environment by partial masking, transforming noise into sound you control.

Arnaque

Cette appli est une arnaque elle se contente d essayer de couvrir le bruit extérieur en augmentant le son, cest nul!! Cela na rien à voir avec un réducteur de bruit qui analyse le son et émet le même en opposition de phase pour le détruire comme avec certains casques du commerce. Cette appli est sans intérêt

Ce nest pas du "noise cancellation" plutôt un générateur de bruit : NUL

Tout est dans le titre. Le filtrage du bruit provoque un bruit blanc dans les écouteurs, cest très désagréable... Pour les autres fonction ça marche mais noffre que peu dintérêt dautres logiciels font cela très bien pour beaucoup moins cher.

Brilliant useful and soothing app

This app does exactly what it claims to, providing an amazing curtain of sound which masks the outside world. This is not a noise cancelation app and you can still be aware off a few outside noises when on quiet but it manages to blend the noises seamlessly into the background well. Ive been using this app for commutes or when I want to block everything out and have also found out its really useful for sleeping in noisy environments. I should point out I use quite good earphones not the standard white iPhone ones so I dont know what difference that makes, but for me it works brilliantly.

Inutile

App complètement inutile et trompeuse, aucune réduction du bruit et on ne peut pas utiliser nos propres musique ! Naze

Arnaque

Ça ne marche pas.... Jai perdu de largent. Je me suis fais avoir.

Rip off

It basically does nothing. Cost 5 euros plays zero sound. I want a refund. 1 star was generous I could not give 0

Must have app

Astounding app for iPhone, perfect for our times. Hope you guys develop more apps (and mask sounds)
