This is particularly useful in work or study spaces, where <strong>external noise can be a constant source of distraction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Study With Me feat.

Being able to use them without an internet connection &#8211; so we won&#8217;t have to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/share-internet-iphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">share the connection from the iPhone<\/a> &#8211; is another. We can choose between balanced, bright and dark noises, as well as <strong>natural sounds such as the ocean, rain and stream<\/strong>. We can play them all in the background, blending or attenuating under other system sounds, which is ideal for creating a more personalized work or rest environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accessing background sounds is as easy as following these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>From the Apple menu (\uf8ff) we choose <em>System Settings<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the sidebar we select <em>Accessibility<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We enter in Audition under the section &#8220;Audio&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the selection of <em>Background Sounds<\/em> we touch on <em>Choose <\/em>and select the one we are interested in listening to.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the file has been downloaded, click on <em>Done<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Activate or pause the playback with the switch next to <em>Background Sounds<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Note also that we can adjust the volume of the background sounds independently using the slider just below the options we have just discussed. There is also an option to disable the background sounds when the Mac is not in use, which will automatically <strong>pause their playback when we are in the lock screen or the screen saver is active<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Apple Music\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/15109d90-810c-4540-829c-c9cacd71037d\/4163180352\/apple-music-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Apple Music<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/apple-music.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/apple-music.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The background sounds function of macOS, although simple, can be very useful in more than one circumstance.
