Vicinity - High Quality Ambient Background Sounds in your macOS MenuBar

by
•

You can’t always work in places with good ambient noise. That’s why we created Vicinity. Vicinity helps you to stay concentrated, focused or to relax. Using selected, handpicked, high-quality ambient sounds, it enhances your environment by creating an authentic acoustic atmosphere. Taking place in your menubar, it’s super-easy and fast accessible.

And for the exact opposite, try Annoisli. 😁

don't think this is better than the free and nice designed Noizio app though...

@jonas_petermann Noizio isn’t free at all (4.99$ at this time) and delivers a weird iOS interface on macOS...

@martinlexow Ah so than it's not free anymore, my fault. I got both iOS and Mac version for free some time ago. Don't know what should be weird aboud the interface on Mac though...

@jonas_petermann I think the UI is a matter of taste :) I personally prefer a more decent style especially on menubar apps.

Completely understand the benefits behind ambient sounds, but cant someone simply stream this via youtube when they please?

@anthony_stylianou The advantage of Vicinity is that it works completely offline, is super-fast accessible and starts on launch if you want to. Also, it provides high quality sounds in stereo 320kb/s.

Y.A.A.N.G (Yet Another Ambient Noise Generator). I think I'll make one with kids yelling and fighting in the background while they watch Stampycat on YouTube and my wife is having a conference call, on speaker phone, in Chinese. Yay, real ambient noise. ;-)

Update 1.1.0 comes with a new feature: Add your custom sounds! 🙂 I’ve also added a few new sounds in the meantime. Enjoy!
