Cove
Ambient sound for iOS & Android

Cove

Hold a seashell to your ear. From anywhere.

Cove is an ambient-noise app built around a simple idea: every seashell hums a slightly different sea. Pick a shell, hit play, and Cove synthesises the matching color of noise — brown, pink, gray, white, or blue — for as long as you want it. No streams, no buffering, no internet required after first launch.

The five shells

Each shell is paired with the noise color whose spectrum best matches its acoustic personality. Audio is synthesised on device the first time you use a shell, then cached for offline play.

Conch

Classic shell-to-ear ocean roar, warm and deep.

Brown noise

Scallop

Light surf hiss with airy shoreline sparkle.

Pink noise

Nautilus

Layered spiral echo, steady and meditative.

Gray noise

Murex

Textured wind tunnel with sea-foam flutter.

White noise

Moon

Cool moonlit hush, silvery and crystalline.

Blue noise
