Ocean Sounds, Black Screen

Ocean waves with seagulls, birds and whales over a theta binaural beat for three hours, with the picture fading to black after two minutes.

About this soundscape

Ocean waves roll in with seagulls, other birds and the odd whale call, all over a theta binaural beat. It lasts three hours, and the picture fades to black after two minutes.

Most people use it at bedtime, though it also suits meditation or a quiet rest in the afternoon. Headphones are important, because a binaural beat needs a separate tone in each ear and speakers blend them together. The early fade means there's no light from the screen.

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.
