# iOS / macOS pro tip - built in background sounds

if you ever need to concentrate and the noise cancellation of your headphones isn't good enough, apple built in background sounds in iOS and macOS. i use this frequently in tandem with noise cancellation so i can focus without any distraction. it completely blocks out any distracting sounds in my immediate environment.

  • macOS instructions can be found here. pro-tip: make sure you add the 'hearing option' to the menu bar for quick access (via the ear icon). i prefer 'dark noise' as it's the most effective and least distracting.
  • iOS instructions can be found here. pro-tip: add the background sounds button to control center for quicker toggling. again, i prefer 'dark noise' as it's the most effective and least distracting.
