🎵Music Ever Tried Binaural Beats?

[Preying Mantis]

Bros so I was reading that concentration supplements thread and remembered binaural beats.

I used to struggle a lot with concentration myself. I still struggle sometimes but I remember trying binaural beats and it seemed to help. Don't know if it was just calming or placebo or what but hey it helped lmao.

Anyone else ever tried these?

Yeah, I tried binaural beats and monotones and mixed them up and had a weird experience. Don't mix them up lol. Binaural beats by itself don't do shit for me idk.

I never thought of mixing those two.

What kinda weird experience?

I tried binaural beats back in 2016 to help me sleep.

All I can say is that I was able to go to sleep listening to them, but I’m unsure of whether or not they helped me go to sleep faster or sleep better.

From a hobbyst musician's perspective this is pure nonsense because there's frequency differences between the left and right channel of Every. SINGLE. SONG.
it's hard to avoid, really.

So the whole concept ot pretty stupid because rarely you'll hear a song that doesn't have it anyways. Something like Orbit's claims from the 902 that their gum helps balance oral acidity. It's true but it has nothing to do with their gum, it's the act of chewing that does that. You could've chewed a cardboard and gotten the same effect.

Oh I remember these. Sorry if it's TMI but there was one that was like an orgasm beat and I was like WOW they have one for everything.

NO I didn't try it! It sounded kinda freaky and was like 2 hours long!

No shit no.. even the thought of it now. An ex of mine I lived in Mexico with almost two year ago now, she’s a cool lady… into a more alternative kind of lifestyle, those beats though and other relaxing music with the tv on for the visuals of course (need those visuals when sleeping right?) were a ritual set in stone, one that was not up for negotiation, ever.

Now personally I’ve always needed complete darkness and silence to sleep, all my life… day light coming in the shutters even while living in spain where we had wooden shutters used to drive me crazy, to the point I had a sleeping mask.. it was pink and fluffy, apparently in spain no men’s version smh - it was a blessing and used often! Don’t judge. So you can imagine how much fun nighttime was for me in Mexico with the music and tv on!

I’ve a friend as well, best friends since like 11 years old… he can’t sleep with silence, so always has a tv (doesn’t matter what’s on, just needs noise) on or something playing on his phone to sleep. He’s not going for the vibe of the ex gf was on, he requires noise to sleep - insane to me.

A lot of those videos and sounds claim to calm you down and also effect you in other ways due to their frequency, I remember though the Mexico girl telling me that they don’t really work as well on a tv or phone, they can’t match the frequency according to her? I never really looked into it, there is devices that can play them properly - speakers you can attach to things if I remember right.. but yeah shit she still had the tv on nightly

For sleeping no chance, for other benefits they say those frequencies can help with - I’d be interested to learn and find out the facts about them working effectively on normal devices or not?
