Sound can aid in calming you down, de-stress you, block out noises, mollify distractions, ground you, lift your mood, and be overall absorbing in a positive way, helping to cope with things like auditory hallucinations to self-harm urges and general winding down.
Here are some sounds I recommend-
Rice Fields
The water is good for blocking out environment sounds and distractions, the frogs cover human speech frequencies, and the cicadas block higher frequencies.
Fish Tank
The air and water pumps and hum of the fish tank serve as effective noise blockers and are calming to many.
Cat Purr
Due to the frequency range of cat purr vibrations, it’s used in sound therapy to produce therapeutic effects such as calming nerves, helping with shortness of breath, easing pain, and positively affecting physical healing.
In Utero
The quiet internal sounds of a heart beating, blood and fluid rushing, and muffled rhythmic breathing can soothe and lull one into sleep.
Fan
The white noise and machine components of a fan calm the mind while softening environment noise.
Healing Water
Comprised of largely water sounds (waterfall, stream, creek, brook), which drowns out other distracting or threatening noises while relaxing the senses.
Also good: Crystal Stream, which covers a large frequency range; Water Stream, more white noise oriented; Underwater, a bit deeper and more bubbly; and Dark Water, featuring a mellowed echo sound due to the cave location.
Osmosis
A range of soft, low hum noises interspersed with shimmering, light bells, this is good for promoting focus, relaxation, and feelings of balance and peace while mitigating noises of distraction.
Sweep Noise
These frequency peaks are good for masking sounds and resemble wind, waves, blowing sand, and passing traffic.
Sled Dogs
An immersive, cheerful noise blocker if you like dog sounds.
Twilight
Designed to be a perceptual shift of emotional resonance that may help with mood, anxiety, insomnia, and pain.
Other helpful sounds: Railroads, Rainy Riverbank, Ferryboat, White Rain, Nocturnal Garden, Canyon.
All of these can be controlled and tweaked to your liking!
