Research

Key studies we rely on

Concise, evidence-based references.

White & Pink Noise for Focus

Söderlund, G., et al. (2007). The effects of background white noise on memory performance in inattentive school children. Behavioral and Brain Functions, 3(55).

May help mask distractions and improve concentration for some individuals, particularly those with attention difficulties.

Nature Sounds for Stress Relief

Buxton, R. T., et al. (2021). A synthesis of health benefits of natural sounds and their distribution in national parks. PNAS, 118(14).

Natural soundscapes are linked to reduced stress responses and improved mood in controlled laboratory and field studies.

Ambient Noise and Creativity

Mehta, R., Zhu, R., & Cheema, A. (2012). Is noise always bad? Exploring the effects of ambient noise on creative cognition. Journal of Consumer Research, 39(4), 784-799.

Moderate levels of ambient noise (~70dB) can enhance creative thinking, though may hinder tasks requiring focused attention to detail.

Binaural Beats Research

Garcia-Argibay, M., et al. (2019). Efficacy of binaural auditory beats in cognition, anxiety, and pain perception: A meta-analysis. Psychological Research, 83(2), 357-372.

Mixed research results with some studies showing potential benefits for relaxation and mood, but effects are generally small and variable between individuals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which sounds work best for focus?
Research suggests white or pink noise can help mask distractions, while moderate coffee shop ambience may boost creative thinking. Individual responses vary, so try different options to find what works for you.
Are binaural beats effective?
Research on binaural beats shows mixed results. Some studies suggest potential benefits for relaxation and mood, but effects are generally small and vary between individuals. Headphones are required for proper function.
How long should I listen?
Most research uses sessions of 10-45 minutes. Our presets include evidence-based timer defaults, but you can adjust based on your needs and comfort level.
Can I use these sounds for sleep?
For sleep preparation, yes. However, avoid continuous all-night playback, which can interfere with natural sleep cycles. Use timed sessions with fade-out functionality.
What volume should I use?
Start low (20-30% of maximum) and adjust to the minimum effective level. Prolonged exposure to loud sounds can damage hearing regardless of the type of audio.
How do I customize my session?
Use the timer controls to set your preferred session length. Adjust fade-in and fade-out times for a gentler start and finish. Volume controls let you find the perfect level for your environment.
