Basically I was browsing the app store and came across this app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/study/id528999600?mt=8
Description reads: "Noise can make it very hard to concentrate, and for many students at school and college there is no quiet place to work in their home. This simple, free app delivers 45 minutes of scientifically designed productivity-boosting sound that can mask ambient noise, help focus, improve cognition and reduce fatigue. It is intended to be played through headphones at modest volume – just loud enough to mask the background sound, particularly any conversation. After 45 minutes a quick break from working is always a good idea – hence the length of the soundscape. It can be set to repeat if you prefer.
This app is made by leading sound consultants The Sound Agency, with personal creative direction by their chairman Julian Treasure, whose three TED talks on sound have been seen by over 4 million people. The app is free thanks to sponsorship from Ecophon, one of the world’s leading acoustics specialists."
So naturally I downloaded it and WOW it actually is so good, especially to use during study periods and the library which is annoying loud at my school >:( It's also good for people like me who like listening to music when studying ;D
Overall review: 9.99999999999/10
And yeah I just thought someone else on AN would also put it to good use! :D

Sounds interesting, I'll give it a go sometime soon. I usually listen to ambient music when I study, so it'll probably work well for me. Thanks!

Found it on Android; search for "Study Sound Agency". It's definitely relaxing... Not sure if that's good or not.
