The Matter of Sound · Fabric and Paper

Soft materials rubbing: fabric and wood, paper, a soft brush, and finally the grains of a rainstick. No ringing; the sound is the texture itself. Synthesised on the device, not recorded. There is no claim of any effect.

5 minNo headphones needed

The same recipe with another seed: the raindrops, the order of the birds or the path of the chords change; the rules and evidence level stay the same.

Compare with another sound

Hear both at the same loudness; drag the slider to the middle and they blend.

In the middle the two sounds truly blend; loudness is matched.

B: neighbours on the map

8 trials, half of them the same sound; get at least 7 right and the difference is audible. The result stays on this device.

What do we know, what don't we know?

S · Soundscape, no claim

No health or mental-effect claim at all; it is simply a soundscape.

This session isn't linked to any claim of effect.

A session's level is the weakest of its linked claims; it is never raised by a strong but unrelated claim.
