I am sensitive to noise and have trouble sleeping when there's sounds around me, especially voices.
I found that playing white noise close to my ears helps with that. I looked for a few apps for this purpose and found this one work best for my needs, as it lets me adjust the sound to my liking.

Summary
Noise Generator: Full Spectrum is an app that generates custom color noises such as brown, pink, white, blue, and violet using mathematical formulas rather than audio files. Noise can be further customized with low and high cut filters, and a sound color slider allows blending between the different noise types. The interface remembers settings for quick generation, and audio can be played to AirPlay supported devices. According to the provider, listening to these noises can help with sleep, calming babies, relaxation, focus, headaches, and masking tinnitus. The app was created by TMSOFT, the maker of the White Noise app.

What are benefits of listening to white noise?
- Helps you sleep by blocking distractions
- Pacifies fussy and crying babies
- Relaxes and reduces stress
- Increases focus while enhancing privacy
- Soothes headaches and migraines
- Masks tinnitus (ringing of the ears)
What are the different sound colors?
- White noise sounds similar to static of an analog TV or radio station that has stopped broadcasting. White noise has equal energy across all sound frequencies.
- Brown noise sounds like a powerful waterfall. It has more energy at the lower frequencies and if you have a good speaker system with a subwoofer you should be able to really feel it.
- Pink noise's upper sound frequencies don't fall off as fast as they do with brown noise, so you'll get a little more punch. The most interesting thing about pink noise is it's found in almost all electronic devices (known as flicker noise) and even in biological systems.
- Blue and violet noise are the opposites of pink and brown noise, respectively, and sound like spraying water from a garden hose. It has more energy at the higher frequencies which means more treble and less bass.
