White Noise Recorder 4+

I hope I'm not dating myself too badly…the Tri-Corder was a gadget on the old show Star Trek. It gathered data on whatever you aimed it at, processed the data and presented you with usable information. White Noise Recorder is like that: you aim your iPhone at a sound source and it digitally processes it into a seamless sound loop. Just today I was exiting a building where a wind chime was sounding in the breeze. In the time it took my ride to come around the corner and pull up to the curb, I got out my iPhone, fired up WNR, and captured about 20 seconds of sound. The resulting loop is fantastic, the chimes fill the room, and it's playing now as I write this. The app is amazing. It's like a camera that takes snapshots of sounds. Get this app and make some noise of your own. 🔊

To me this is the most exceptional sound recorder for white noise or pretty much any ambient sound or otherwise. I don't know what they do with the engine for use with a device's microphone, but I have not used any other app that can record sounds like this one does.

I would easily give this app five stars too. But, it is just missing one feature that I am just dying to have. That would be the ability to export my sounds to a wave or mp3 file. You can currently export your sounds, but, only to a proprietary White Noise Recorder format. Which, well that is really useless to me, because no sound converter I own will be able to read that format and allow me to convert the file to something useful, like the aforementioned wave or mp3.

So, if you would please add more format choices for export, I would be so incredibly thankful and grateful, and would gladly pay an additional fee for this feature. But, if you do add this great function, would you also please include the "Open In" option with the export, please? That way I could choose to export the sound file to any other compatible applications that
I have installed on my iPad 4 (Box, Dropbox, TwistedWave Audio Editor, AudioShare, etc...). Thank you for all of the hard work that I am sure you've put into this wonderful application. I hope that you will please consider implementing my feature request in a future update, thank you.

I recorded a sound that was soothing.. it loops perfectly.. and have been using it that way for a long time.

Give it a try.. record an assortment of sounds, and you will realize the different sounds will be perfect for various situations..like a noise that drowns out the yapping dog next door.. a snoring person.. etc. You will be happy :)
