Frequently Asked Questions

How many sounds can I play at the same time?

There is no hard limit. You can layer as many sounds as you like. Most users find 3 to 6 sounds create the best mix without becoming overwhelming. Experiment to find your perfect balance!

Will my saved mixes be lost if I clear my browser data?

Yes, saved mixes are stored in your browser's local storage. Clearing browser data or cookies will remove them.

Tip: Consider noting down your favorite combinations if you plan to clear your data, or use the share URL feature to save them externally.

What are binaural beats?

Binaural beats are created when two slightly different frequencies play in each ear, producing a perceived third tone. Different frequency ranges are associated with different mental states:

Alpha — Focus and concentration
Beta — Alertness and active thinking
Theta — Relaxation and meditation
Delta — Deep sleep and restoration
Gamma — Peak cognitive performance

Important: Use headphones for the best effect, as each ear needs to receive a different frequency.

Why do I need to click before sounds play?

Modern browsers require a user interaction (like a click) before playing audio. This is a browser security feature to prevent unwanted autoplay and protect user experience across the web.

Does the timer stop the sounds completely?

When the timer expires, all sounds gradually fade out over 3 seconds and then stop completely. This gentle transition prevents jarring interruptions.

You can cancel the timer at any time without affecting playback.

Yes, you can share mixes via URL. The sound selection and volume levels are encoded in the link, so anyone opening it will hear exactly the same mix you created.

Perfect for: Sharing your favorite focus mix with colleagues, sending a relaxing soundscape to friends, or collaborating on the ideal study atmosphere.
