HushNest has 30 sounds in eight groups: noise, comfort, lullabies, rain, water, nature, everyday sounds and hums and whirs. Each one plays over its own painted scene, and you can layer up to four.
Short answer: HushNest's 30 sounds cover white, pink and brown noise; comfort sounds for babies (womb, heartbeat, shush); lullabies; rain and thunder; ocean, rivers and waterfalls; forest, birds, crickets and wind; a fireplace; and everyday hums like a fan, hair dryer, air conditioner, car ride, train, vacuum, washing machine and dishwasher.
