Play background sounds on iPad to mask environmental noise
You can play calming sounds—such as ocean or rain—to mask unwanted environmental noise and help minimize distractions so you can focus or rest.
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Audio & Visual > Background Sounds, then turn on Background Sounds.
Set any of the following:
Sound: Choose a sound; the audio file downloads to your iPad.
Volume: Drag the slider.
Use When Media is Playing: Adjust the volume of the background sound when iPad is playing music or other media.
Stop Sounds When Locked: Background sounds stop playing when iPad is locked.
Thanks for your feedback.
