A Field Instrument
Mix your own quiet.
Layer brown noise under rain under a low 432 Hz drone until the room disappears. Sound does not sedate you. It masks the sudden changes, the door, the pipe, the sibling upstairs, that keep snapping your nervous system back to alert. Build the wash that works for your room. Every sound is generated here in your browser, nothing streams, and it remembers your mix for next time.

The evidence that continuous noise improves sleep is mixed and modest, and the popular brain-entrainment claims for binaural beats run well ahead of the data (Riedy et al., Sleep Medicine Reviews, 2021). Treat this as a comfortable, cheap tool, not a sedative. Keep it low: sound loud enough to damage hearing is damaging whatever its color. Read the full breakdown of brown noise →
