Play sleep sounds on HomePod with Siri
Quick answer
"Play sleep sounds" and HomePod plays ambient audio like rain, ocean, or white noise. Ask for a specific one — "play rain sounds" — and pair it with "stop playing in 45 minutes" so it fades out after you're asleep. Great for nodding off or masking background noise.

If Siri doesn't get it
Ambient sound availability depends on your region and Apple Music. If a sound isn't found, try "white noise" or a specific ambient playlist.
