HushEscape

Free relaxing sounds. Your own space.

Sometimes you want a break from noise. Sometimes silence itself is hard to sit with. HushEscape is a personal sound space: choose a landscape and mix a background for work, study, meditation or rest. It is a personal, independent project, free for everyone.

Open the player and choose a landscape

Free rain, ocean, forest and fire sounds

Rain on glass offers a continuous background, while a thunderstorm adds thunder and flashes. Explore forest wind, tropical rain, sea and seagulls, a rainy drive, a train journey or a campfire at night. Each has a different character. Try a few and choose what you enjoy, without creating an account.

Use the mixer to change individual sound levels. Turn birds down, bring the water forward or build your own balance. This is not a music playlist: you choose the sound landscape and its layers.

Background sounds for studying and concentration

For work, reading or studying, try a landscape you find unobtrusive. Adjust the individual layers under Sounds and save the combination as a personal preset. There is no single correct mix: adapt it to your activity and preferences.

If visuals distract you, turn the scene screen off while keeping audio playing. You can also use a phone to control another screen: open the site on both devices and connect them with the pairing code or QR.

Nature sounds for meditation, relaxation and rest

For a break or your own meditation practice, choose nature sounds without music, announcements or advertising breaks. Adjustable visuals accompany the landscapes: brightness, warmth and movement let you adapt the atmosphere.

The fade timer gradually lowers audio, the screen or both over your chosen duration. Use it when you want the background to fade as you rest. There are no imposed sessions or programmes: you decide when to start, switch scenes and stop.

A sound space for people living with tinnitus, too

People living with tinnitus, or who find silence uncomfortable, may look for a companion sound rather than a completely silent room. HushEscape provides customisable backgrounds without claiming that a particular sound suits everyone.

HushEscape is not a medical device, therapy or tinnitus treatment. It does not promise a cure or symptom reduction. Speak to a healthcare professional about tinnitus or listening choices for your individual circumstances. This site offers a sound environment you can choose freely.

Use HushEscape like an app on your phone or computer

HushEscape is a Progressive Web App. In supported browsers, install it from the browser menu or the installation button when available. On iPhone or iPad, open it in Safari, choose Share and Add to Home Screen. On Android and desktop, look for Install app or Add to Home Screen in your browser.

Installation needs no subscription. Background playback, a locked screen and offline availability depend on your browser and operating system; new sounds need an internet connection. On slower televisions, choose Low quality or Off · video.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. All features are available without subscriptions, ads or premium tiers. Optional contributions do not unlock benefits or change access.

Do I need an account?

No. Start listening in the player. Personal presets stay in your browser, and you can export and import them under Preferences.

Can I mix and save sounds?

Yes. Choose a landscape, open Sounds and adjust the levels. Save a preset to keep that combination and export it to transfer it to another browser.

Are there timers and phone controls?

Yes. The gradual fade can control audio and the screen. A phone connected by QR or pairing code can act as a remote for the listening screen.

Is it an app to treat tinnitus?

No. It is an ambient listening project, without diagnosis, therapy or guaranteed clinical results.

Does installation cost money?

No. Installing the PWA in a compatible browser is free, just like listening on the website.
