Who we are

Ocean Waves (oceanwavessound.com) is a free, browser-based ocean wave sound generator and part of the Audio Tools Network. You can reach us any time at contact@oceanwavessound.com.

The sound stays on your device

The waves are generated locally in your browser using the Web Audio API. We do not record audio, we do not have user accounts, and we do not ask you to sign up. We do not collect or store any audio or personal profile from your use of the generator.
