Quick answer
What is the Sound Lab for?
It lets you audition steady, non-narrative sound - drones, pink noise, bowl tones, paced breath textures - and watch a live visual representation of the audio. Many people use it to rehearse a listening setup before a session, to settle beforehand, or to support quiet reflection afterward. It is an educational tool, not a treatment.

How to use it well

  • Start at a low volume and raise it slowly; sustained loud audio is fatiguing.
  • Binaural material needs headphones. Isochronic and noise-based sounds work on speakers.
  • If a sound feels agitating rather than settling, stop it. Response to steady tones is highly individual.
  • The visualizer is decorative. If motion is uncomfortable, switch to the frequency bars view or simply close your eyes.

Safety notes

Do not use pulsing audio or motion-heavy visuals if you have photosensitive epilepsy or a seizure disorder without speaking to your clinician first. This page makes no claim that any sound produces a clinical effect; entrainment research is preliminary and mixed.
