There are not too many things that quickly get as annoying as mosquitos do. And it’s not just because of the biting, the high-pitched sounds the mosquitos make are truly unbearable.
That’s why we’ve gathered the best free mosquito repellent sound apps for Android & iOS you could try. These are anti-mosquito apps that use ultrasounds that draw off mosquitos and some other insects. In fact, the frequencies used by these apps are mostly undetectable to human ears, so you won’t get annoyed in any way. Let’s dive in!
Mosquito Sound
It’s a simple app that helps you get rid of mosquitos without any effort. The app offers specific sounds that work as mosquito repellent ones. The UI is beyond simple: the app literally consists of a single screen where you can turn the sounds on and off, along with regulating the frequency of it.
The frequency of the sound featured by the app varies from 17 to 22kHz, which is more than enough. Of course, you will need to check if your device supports certain frequencies. The sounds above 20kHz are considered ultrasounds, so you won’t be able to hear them that well.
So, what’s the best way to use the app to make sure the mosquitos stay as far away from you as possible? Well, feel free to set a maximum frequency first. The lower ones may work as well, but just to make sure. At this point, the sound will be too high for human ears, but not for mosquitos. Then, crank the sound volume to the maximum as well, and turn off the “do not disturb mode” (for some reason, it may affect the efficiency).
