Since iOS 15 iPhones can generate “background noise” including dark noise, balanced noise, rain, ocean, etc. You can even play it at the same time as music, a podcast, etc. with its own, independent volume control.

An icon appears for me when in the Control Center when I swipe down, the “Hearing tile”, and can be used to play/pause and change Background Sounds.

Can also be accessed this way:

1. Open Settings and scroll down to Accessibility

2. Tap on that, then scroll to the Hearing section

3. Choose Audio/Visual

4. Tap on Background Sounds

5. Turn on Background Sounds by tapping the on/off toggle
