could you find the exact one?
- elcritch 2y agoThere are lots of them on YouTube now. I listen to one most nights. Just search for “sleep” and “binaural beats.
- carlbarrdahl 2y agoI'm sure there are differences in their effectiveness. Based on my limited knowledge the sound frequencies attempt to put the brain into theta or delta frequencies and does this by creating a ghost signal (left ear 100hz - right 106hz gives a 6hz theta wave). Dreamachines work similarly (but mono) by creating a flickering light at set frequencies. I'm sure tactile vibrations or pulses could have some effect also.
- numtel 2y agoI made this a few years ago after getting into Hemi Sync tapes to test out what different tones feel like. https://numtel.github.io/binaural-playground/ https://numtel.github.io/binaural-playground/
- skeledrew 2y agoThe beat frequency? Not really; I used an app called Gnaural (on Android, hasn't been updated in years), and just selected the "Power nap" profile. It'll be theta or delta though, maybe a combination.
- zczc 2y agoLooking at the beatfreq values in the XML source of the preset [1], it's indeed combination of 4 to 11 Hz beats (mostly theta) and 2 Hz (delta).

- skeledrew 2y agoOh nice, thanks. I didn't think to check the source. Been thinking to update the app myself though as it's not installing on my current device, and I'd like to explore BBs more. I've also found "Energize", "Problem resolver", "Wakeup", "Rain shower" and "Babbling brook" to be useful. The rest by comparison are pretty meh, or maybe I just didn't find a task match.
