If you are like me complete quiet is something you think you want but sometimes you need that soft background noise of rain gently falling or soft waves crashing against the beach. Noisli is a great companion for those of us who need a little noise to help us focus, block out surrounding sounds, or just to calm and relax us. Background sounds have great masking abilities in reducing the negative impact of sudden spikes in external noise and enabling you to focus for longer periods of time. Click here and start experiencing the sounds of productivity.
