Turn off one sound. Keep the rest.

Imagine catching the coziest rainy night of your life. Sleeping conditions are perfect, and you have a whole night of sleep ahead of you. But then… oh no. The snoring.

Or you’re in the middle of a great study session, a calm breeze outside the window, and suddenly… the construction starts.

There are a lot of moments like this, when one sound ruins everything around it. And you don’t want to lose the whole moment. Just that one sound.

Right now, if your partner is snoring, you have two options. Wake them up. Not very nice. Or put on noise-cancelling headphones and play a recording of rain, which is never as alive as the real rain outside your window.

For nearly half, it happens every night.

865 people in the U.S. whose bed partner snores were asked how often it happens.

  • Every night48%, 411 people
  • Quite often33%, 285 people
  • Once in a while18%, 159 people
  • Never1%, 7 people
Percentages are rounded; three respondents answered “I don’t know.” The survey asked about frequency, not lost sleep. Source: American Academy of Sleep Medicine, Sleep Prioritization Survey (2021).

What if your headphones could tell sounds apart and remove only the one you choose?

The headphones listen to what’s around you and recognize each sound. Open the app and you see what they’re hearing right now: rain, snoring, a car passing by. Tap the snoring. It’s gone. The rain stays.

You stay in control. You can see what’s blocked at any moment, bring a sound back with one tap, or just turn it down instead of removing it completely.

But what about safety?

Some sounds can never be blocked. Alarms, sirens, someone calling your name. They always reach you, whatever you’ve filtered out.

The headphones also keep an ear on the sounds you did block. Say you’re working in a café and you’ve blocked the loud conversation at the next table. If that conversation turns into shouting, the headphones bring it back and tell you why. You chose to block the chatter, not an emergency.

Both scenes together: a rainy room and a café. Each sound the headphones recognise appears as a label, and blocked sounds fade. When the blocked conversation turns into arguing, it comes back. Play with sound on.
