All my life, I’ve had trouble with tinnitus in both ears. It’s getting worse as I get older, so much so that I often have considerable trouble sleeping. When I got my fancy Android phone last year, I started looking for a noise generating solution in the Android Market<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Enter Lightning Bug<\/em><\/a>, an app from 1908 Media<\/a>. This seemingly simple noise generator takes the concept a step further and allows the user to customize the experience to a ridiculous degree.<\/p>\n

What’s so special about Lightning Bug? Each sound is individually controlled in two ways. First, you get individual volume controls. For example, you can turn up the rain while putting the thunder in the distance and a train whistle somewhere in between. Second, recurring (as opposed to continuous) sounds have individual frequency controls. So if you’re in the mood for a heavier thunderstorm, you can increase the thunder frequency to a range of every 7\u201321 seconds, while dropping the train whistle to a range of every 30\u201390 seconds.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t stop with just rainstorms and trains. Lightning Bug comes with a starter pack to give you an idea of what you’re getting. If you like that, you can upgrade with seven free plugins and six premium plugins to give you access to over a hundred individual sounds. Cost to fully trick it out with all available plugins is currently $6.45.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
