Focus and study · 3 h

Concentration, Beta 16 Hz

Three hours of a 16 Hz beta binaural beat, at the low end of the beta range, for studying and long stretches of focused work.

About this soundscape

A 16 Hz binaural beat, at the bottom of the beta range, plays for over three hours. A binaural beat comes from two slightly different tones, one in each ear, which you hear as a gentle pulse.

It's made for revision, essays and long stretches of work at a desk. Stereo headphones are a must, because each ear needs its own tone. Through ordinary speakers the beat disappears and you'll just hear the tones.

How to listen

Use headphonesA binaural beat only works when each ear hears its own tone. Through speakers the beat disappears.
Keep it in the backgroundLow enough that you stop noticing it. It's there to hold your attention steady, not to grab it.
Work in blocksPick one task and give it 25 to 50 minutes, then take a short break away from the screen.
