I know it’s late, but I’ve been using Background Sounds on my iPhone.
I was listening to a podcast that was a bit noisy, and I found it hard to listen to.
Recently, I’ve been setting “Background Sounds” to relax, and when I play “Background Sounds” at the same time as a noisy podcast, it hides the noise and makes it a little easier to listen to.
If you’re having trouble with noisy podcasts, why not give it a try?
How to set it up
