Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Drift

How do I play sounds?
Browse the home screen for curated scenes, or tap "All Sounds" to explore our full library. Tap any sound to start playing instantly.
Can I mix multiple sounds together?
Yes! Use the Mixer to layer up to 4 sounds at once. Adjust each sound's volume independently to create your perfect atmosphere.
What are Scenes?
Scenes are pre-built soundscapes combining multiple sounds. Try Rainy Night (rain + fireplace + thunder) or Deep Space (cosmic drones) for instant immersion.
How does the sleep timer work?
Tap the timer icon while playing to set a fade-out duration (15 minutes to 8 hours). Sounds gradually fade to silence—perfect for falling asleep.
What is Sound Lab?
Sound Lab lets you create custom sounds with three tiers of control:
  • Simple: Mix 5 preset sound layers (rain, thunder, wind, tones, texture)
  • Moderate: Shape a base sound with 6 controls (depth, brightness, texture, movement, warmth, rhythm)
  • Full: Complete synthesizer with oscillators, filters, LFOs, and effects
Why did sounds stop when I left the app?
Make sure Drift has background audio permission in your device settings. Sounds should continue playing when you switch apps or lock your screen.
