      Sometimes I play rain/storm sounds I’ve downloaded from YouTube. Other times I use the iPhone white noise generator. I’ve set up 2 Siri shortcuts (one for sound on and one for sound off), but tapping the back sounds like a good way to do it, too.

      Wow you are right that is hidden. I have an iPhone and had no idea that was there. I’ll have to try it out.
