I swear, there’s a delta wave 2HZ,3HZ one thats basically aural Valium 💉 As long as its a good speaker

    Just looking on youtube, you can find binaural beats for pretty much anything: inflammation cure, pain relief, changing your eye colour, finding love and becoming rich. All the ones I’ve looked at feature comments from people claiming they’ve helped them.

    They can’t possibly do all of the above and I don’t think there a studies proving anything but a placebo effect.

    And, without truly believing in them, they never had any effect on me. I’ve tried them in my youth.

    What speakers do you have that actually produce sound waves that low? Most subwoofers only go down to 20hz since thats about the lowest frequencies humans can hear. Maybe 15hz for a surround sound system so that sound effects can shake the floor when you’re watching a movie or something. But 2hz is crazy.

    I’ve tried listening to them but never really experienced much, but then again I didn’t know what they were supposed to do so maybe the placebo didn’t have a chance to work.

      I think the trick is that they use the differential in two higher pitched waves and your brain creates the lower pitch rather than the speaker.

      Like it oscillates both 400HZ and 402HZ and your brain creates that 2HZ delta or something

    I find them fascinating, but have never found they have such a dramatic effect. Though I tried the Gateway Experience tapes for awhile and definitely slept better when I used them, despite a decided lack of astral travel or whatever.

    Maybe a good speaker helps. I’ve tried them before and they’re good background noise for flights, but that’s about all I’ve gotten out of them.

    interesting, give me some of the good ones.

    I want to try it out, I don’t even know what it is really.

    I typically listen to these after taking my morning LSD, and do get some psychoactive effects. Strangely the effects are completely different if I take amphetamines or light up the afternoon crack pipe before listening.

    Seriously tho, I just started to listen to this for the first time ever, and it does work as a pretty effective and non-intrusive noise blocker. Easy to ignore.

    Edit: never mind the second point, the surroundings just got quieter at the same time I started to listen.

      Best time to do LSD. Can still go to bed on time and get a good night sleep.
