Google has reportedly modified Google Assistant’s white noise audio monitor, and people who depend on it to go to sleep are extraordinarily sad about it.

Users within the Google Nest community forums are complaining that Google quietly swapped its Assistant’s outdated white noise monitor with a new file that’s quieter and shorter. “Noticed last night the sound had been changed,” writes the creator of the unique publish. “Sounds like a new file and it’s not only quieter the audio loop is a lot shorter.”

Google needs its Nest gadgets to be handled as sleep aids—it even launched a sleep-tracking function within the Nest Hub final 12 months. Currently, the Nest Hub affords greater than a dozen ambient tracks you could command that will help you sit back or go to sleep. They vary from basic “relaxing sounds” to extra particular themes, like a babbling brook. There’s even an oscillating fan sound, which is beneficial for touring while you lack an precise fan that gives the identical calming impact.

The new white noise monitor seems to loop each 10 minutes as a substitute of each hour. If they’re not turned off, ambient sounds will proceed to play for as much as 12 hours.

There isn’t any official changelog from Google on the brand new white noise ambiance, however it appears completely different sufficient that it’s even disrupting youngsters’s sleep routines.

“My toddler has noticed the sound change and now wakes during the night,” a drained mother or father wrote. “Please revert back to the original noise. It was so much nicer.”

The publish calling out the change has gathered greater than 150 replies, plus a separate Reddit thread. I’ve reached out to Google to ask whether or not the corporate has modified the audio (and why) and can replace if I hear again.

One person managed to wash the unique white noise sound and add it to Google Drive for public use, although it requires a little bit of setup beforehand if you happen to needed to loop it by means of the evening.
