Sounds for Meditation
Pure ambient sound for meditation. No voiceovers, no guided instructions — just the sound you need to go deeper.
Meditation Without the Narration
Most meditation apps are full of guided instructions, breathing cues, and voiceovers. Background Noises takes a different approach: pure ambient sound, nothing else. Pick your sound, set your duration, and meditate on your own terms. No one telling you to notice the weight of your body.
Best Sounds for Meditation
Theta binaural beats (4–7 Hz) directly promote meditative brainwave states. Forest sounds and rain provide a natural anchor without demanding attention. Solfeggio frequencies (especially 528 Hz and 396 Hz) have long been used in contemplative traditions. Ocean waves provide a rhythmic ebb and flow that naturally syncs with breathing patterns.
Pre-Built Meditation Journey
Our Meditation journey guides you from alert Beta (14 Hz) through relaxed Alpha (10 Hz) into deep meditative Theta (6 Hz → 4 Hz). It mimics the natural brainwave descent that experienced meditators achieve, but assists the process through auditory entrainment. Available in durations from 1 minute to 12 hours.
