Crackle, pop and roar
A fire has three sounds: the low, breathy roar of the flames, a constant scatter of small crackles, and the occasional louder pop as sap bursts in a log. MoodNoise makes all three, at random, so the fire behaves like a real one: busy for a while, then settling.
Cozy mixes
When to use it
- Reading and evenings: the fire’s irregular crackle is lively without being distracting.
- Winding down before bed: the cozy cabin mix is a favourite. For sleep itself, lower the fire and raise the rain, since pops can catch your attention.
- Holidays and gatherings: a quiet fire under conversation sets a warm mood, no chimney needed.
Fire for focus
The crackle has more detail than rain, so it works best for relaxed work. For concentration, mix it 40/60 with brown noise: you keep the warmth and lose the attention-grabbing pops, because the steady noise partly masks them 1.

Questions
Is the fireplace sound free?
Yes, with every sound and the mixer. No sign-up.
Can I make the fire quieter but keep the rain?
Yes. Every sound has its own slider; drag the fire down and the rain stays where it is.
Does the fire loop?
No. Crackles and pops are generated at random as it plays.
