Why Should I Use Background Sounds in iOS?

Background Sounds are meant to help users focus and cut out other distractions around them. It can be useful for users who may be having a tough time keeping up with their daily tasks due to noisy rooms around them. It can also be useful for those that just want to add a little white noise to their routine without turning on music or other audio media. It can also be useful for winding down at the end of the day or even helping you fall asleep if you like having some slight noise going when you try to fade off to sleep.

How to Use Background Sounds With Other Media

You can also use Background Sounds with other audio, though. In the settings menu for Background Sounds, you can decide at what volume the noise plays over the other audio that you have playing. If you want to listen to music, but also have the sounds of rain or the ocean overlapping with it, then you can adjust the volume using the following steps. To easily adjust the volume of Background Sounds, you can also use the Hearing tile locating in the Control Center on your iPhone. This can be activated from the Control Center menu in Settings. Once activated, simply pull up the Control Center, tap the Hearing icon—it looks like an ear—and then select Background Sounds at the bottom of the screen to change the volume as well as the sound that you have playing.
