Bloom is an ambient sound app for the iPhone and iPod Touch that takes a different approach to providing you with interesting sounds. This app is completely interactive and offers you the ability to create your own ambient noise as well as let it do the work for you.

There are nine different music moods that this app offers you. You can either set them manually or allow them to shuffle through. When you press the listen mode, it will do it's own thing and play sounds at random in what seems more enjoyable then you would think. You can also interact with the listen mode by adding your own sounds by tapping on the screen.

When you want to make your own sound, just shake the screen to clear it. After that, tap away to make your own sound. Depending on the settings you've chosen, your sounds will repeat faster or slower. This way, you can make your own beat combination to suit your mood.

Bloom is an excellent addition to the ambient sound apps for the iPhone. While some people may just want to turn on a specific sound and let it play, or even let it rotate through sounds, Bloom offers something different. If you're more interested in having a hands on approach to your ambient sound, skip the other apps of this variety and head straight to bloom.
