Beach Waves Binaural

Waves rolling onto a beach with theta and delta binaural beats, for winding down and drifting off.

About this soundscape

Waves crash and roll onto the shore, with sea birds calling high above, while the picture shows the sea lapping at the beach. Underneath, a theta binaural beat moves slowly down into delta across three hours.

The beat starts in theta and settles into delta over time, so it suits the wind-down before bed and the hours after. Use headphones to hear the beat properly. The beach sound is enough on its own if you'd rather study or just sit with the view.

How to listen

Use headphonesA binaural beat only works when each ear hears its own tone. Through speakers the beat disappears.
Keep it quietJust loud enough to cover the room. Lower is better for sleep.
Start it in bedLights off, eyes closed, and let it play through. Give it ten minutes before you judge it.
