myNoise is a general soundscape app, but it lists tinnitus relief as one of its main uses and it gives you more control over sound than any tinnitus-branded player here. Each of the 350+ soundscapes has its own sliders, so you can push a rain recording, a fan or a tonal drone toward the pitch of your own ringing. The White Noise and Co soundscape alone covers white, brown, green, grey and pink noise, and Creation Mode lets you combine up to 10 sliders taken from any soundscape. Every sound is built by research engineer Stéphane Pigeon from field recordings and real instruments, and it is designed for long sessions without audible looping. The app is free to download with no ads, and the US store page lists one-time purchases of $14.99 and $19.99; the developer says one purchase opens everything and keep future soundscapes. It has no tinnitus lessons, CBT or frequency matching, so treat it as a masking tool.
