Relaxing Sounds: Indian Flute
“Alexa, Play Indian Flute”
The Indian Flute skill is one of the highly rated sounds on the ‘Alexa Skills’ page. This sound fills the room with an elevating vibration, helped by the deeply relaxing flute melody that creates the perfect ambience for meditation and relaxation. This calming sound can also be used as white noise to gently fall asleep.
Sleep Sounds: Ocean Sounds
“Alexa, open Ocean Sounds”
Deep soothing ocean sounds make some of the best samples for white noise. If you find it hard to fall asleep in a completely silent room, this Alexa skill will help you relax and have a cradling effect on your ears. To end the sound, all you need to say is “Alexa, stop”. You can even set a timer by saying “Alexa, set a sleep timer for 2 hours”. You can extend this duration to suit your sleeping period.
Rainforest Sounds by Sleep Jar
“Alexa, start Rainforest Sounds”
Rainforest Sounds by Sleep Jar creates the perfect environment to tune out any unwanted noises from your surroundings and simulate the pleasant and uplifting mood of a rainforest. The rainforest sounds will help you relax, meditate, and relieve stress. Once you enable this skill and ask Alexa to play it, it will go on for 1 hour by default. To loop the sound, say “Alexa, ask Rainforest Sounds to loop”.
White Noise
“Alexa, open White Noise”
If you find yourself getting distracted by other ambient sounds, the generic White Noise skill will help in filling the room with enough sound to block out the outside noise and create an atmosphere to easily fall asleep. You can also use this noise to study and meditate. Oftentimes, users prefer having something non-dynamic in the background. This Alexa skill does the most basic of tasks without the bells and whistles.
Sleep Sounds: Wind Chimes
“Alexa, open Wind Chimes”
Fewer sounds are more relaxing than windchimes crashing together. The Wind Chimes skill on Alexa is guaranteed to relax your senses and drift you to sleep.

You can also use these sounds for your meditation sessions.
