Play Random Ambient Sound

To play any random sound, you just need to give this voice command, “Hey Siri, Play Sounds.” Once you give the voice input, it will start playing any random sound by starting with “Here’s ‘Ocean’ from ambient sounds.” Just in case, if you didn’t like the sound, you can simply say “Hey Siri, Play the Next One.”

Play Specific Ambient Sound

As of now, it supports limited ambient sounds and it’s easy to pick any one of the sound name to play it on your device. Just speak out, “Hey Siri, Play [Sound Name] from Ambient Sounds.”
