Home has picked some cool high-profile features over the past few weeks, including support for multiple accounts access to millions of recipes, but a new feature that has flown in under the radar might be even more useful.

Instead of paying top dollar on a bulky white noise machine for you or your newborn baby, your Home can now fill your room with soothing ambient sounds. There are 15 in all, ranging from a crackling fireplace to a babbling brook. And since they’ll most often be used when you’re already tired stressed out, has made it super easy to operate.

Here’s how it works. If you say, “OK , help me relax,” your Home will play a rom ambient noise for the next hour (or until you tell it to stop). ternatively, you could ask it to play it for a specified amount of time, something we’re not able to do when playing music.

You can also ask it play a different sound if the one you hear doesn’t fit your fancy, or ask for one of the specific tracks in its catalog, including:

• Relaxing sounds
• Nature sounds
• ter sounds
• Running water sounds
• Outdoor sounds
• Babbling brook sounds
• Country night sounds
• Oscillating fan sounds
• Fireplace sounds
• Forest sounds
• Ocean sounds
• Rain sounds
• River sounds
• Thunderstorm sounds
• ite noise

st as it is with the rom sounds, you can set a specific time limit for an individual track by saying, “OK , play thunderstorm sounds for 2 hours,” if heavy rain distant rumbling happens to be your thing.

Sleep aid: Ambient noise is cool all, but we’re most excited about the automatic shut-off timer. Now, we just want to be able to use it for our music, too. etty please?!
