Play background sounds on Mac

You can have your Mac play ambient background sounds—such as ocean waves or rain—to help you focus or rest. See the Apple Support article Use Background Sounds to help with sleep, focus, and more.

Tip: You can also play background sounds right from the desktop by adding the Hearing option to the menu bar or Control Center. Choose Apple menu > System Settings, click Menu Bar in the sidebar, click Add Controls, click Hearing, then choose Add to Control Center or Add to Menu Bar under Hearing Accessibility (you may need to scroll down). Click in the menu bar or in Control Center to start and stop background sounds, change the sound that’s playing, and adjust the volume.

Thanks for your feedback.
