    After experimenting with some of the above apps, I get better results using a set of Relax with Nature “albums” I downloaded from emusic. 1 album = approximately 1 hour, put a couple of these on a playlist and you’re good to go. Great variety of nature sounds available, I defy anyone to listen to them and not have unbelievably good sleep.

    I also like Visulax Sleep Aid. It put me right to sleep with guided meditation and it is only $.99.

    Besides these ambient sound producing apps there also exists android apps for letting you have a quiet sleep in terms of silencing phone calls. And if you would like not to be disturbed by phone calls, but (like
    me) are afraid of missing an important call I can recommend also using
    the Quiet Sleep app (maybe together with one of the apps from the article that helps you fall asleep in the first place)
    Link for the app is here:

    Pillow: White Noise is a good white noise player. You can play multiple sounds at the same time, and download new sounds. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitdeck.pillow)
