Background sounds to increase productivity with Noisli

I know that there are a lot of us that like to have our favorite Pandora music in the background to help us concentrate or to create a calming atmosphere in the classroom.  Well, here is another option for teachers and students. Its called noisli and it is available as an app or as a website at http://www.noisli.com. I like it a lot!

This is a screen shot of the website. As you can see there are different environmental sounds that you can play and mix.  I used wind, running water, water drops and waves to create the sounds I love to hear when I am by the ocean.

I did NOT create an account and I don't know if I will. Try it out and let me know what you think. There are a number of other sound options as well.
