Today, the company Dark Noise announced that it has moved to a subscription pricing model on all its platforms, including the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The full version of the well-liked white noise app can now be obtained for either $2.99 per month or $19.99 per year for new users. Previously, the app was only available as a one-time purchase for $9.99. A one-time purchase option can still be made for $49.99 and is available to new users.
The disappointing information is that the cost of the complete version of Dark Noise for new users has recently been raised to a much higher level. The good news is that the app can now be downloaded from the App Store for free, and eight sounds can be downloaded for free. Existing users of Dark Noise who purchased the app before the version 3.0 update released today will continue to have access to the full app with over 50 sounds even if they do not have a Dark Noise Pro subscription. This is another piece of positive news.

According to the announcement by Dark Noise, “There may be features in the future that require Dark Noise Pro; however, for the time being, original users will get all of the same features.” A free trial of the Pro tier is available to new users for three days.
Rain, Thunderstorm, Beach, and Airplane Interior are the four sounds that have had their stereo versions remastered and included in the updated version of the Dark Noise app. According to Dark Noise, upcoming updates will feature additional remasters and an expanded selection of sound effects.
iOS 15 and macOS Ventura include a feature similar to Background Sounds, which Apple introduced. This feature, found in the Settings app under Accessibility > Audio/Visual > Background Sounds, allows you to play rain sounds and a selection of other backgrounds and sounds at no additional cost. People having trouble relaxing, sleeping, or focusing on a task may find white noise helpful.
