Simply Noise: A Simple Noise Generator for the iPhone
Simply Noise is a simple noise generator I created for the iPhone. The original purpose of the app was to generate a quiet 'hiss' sound to keep Bluetooth audio connections active. I noticed that when running The Gnome over a Bluetooth speaker, sometimes (depending on the speaker) the audio would drop out during the silence between metronome clicks.
In order to use Simply Noise for this purpose, establish a Bluetooth audio connection with your speaker, and then turn on Simply Noise. Turn the fader all the way down, with Volume Boost set to Low. Then, slowly drag the volume fader up just until the point that you start to hear the 'hiss' softly. At this point, the hiss is at the minimum volume required to keep your speaker active. With this established, you will no longer experience audio dropouts during silence!
You can use the High and Low Pass Filters to adjust the frequency range of the hiss, which allows you to dial in the perfect noise tone. You might find that certain frequencies are inaudible in certain environments, for instance.
That is all Simply Noise was intended to do. It is common to use noise generators to help mask distracting sounds when sleeping. Perhaps you will think of other uses for this simple app!
