I've mentioned the Simply Noise app before but this time want to point to the download section where you for a very small amount of money, can purchase the specific sound noise that meets your needs. Special shout out to brown noise, which seems to draw more yarns that is normal for this time of day.

Dan Harris 10% Healthier is geared to those folks that want and need the benefits of meditation without what they would refer to as the "bells and woo-woo." The app is available for iOS and Android users. Those of us on Windows Phones or on limited data plans can access the web version. There is a free section but there are also in-app purchases opportunities.

If money is an issue there are accessible meditation resources, The UC San Diego Center for Mindfulness has a number of mindfulness stress reduction audio files on a variety of topic. Those with limited plans might want to download the files onto your desktop and then transfer to your media device.
