Apple Music now has Sound Therapy to relax and focus your mind

Need a little sound therapy? If you’re an Apple Music subscriber, you can now access a new audio wellness collection to help attain “clear focus, deeper relaxation, and better sleep”.

But this isn’t just fancy white noise, ocean sounds, or the pitter-patter of the rain. Sound Therapy uses sound waves, psychoacoustics, and cognitive techniques to help listeners relax or focus the mind. 

Backed by scientific research, the special sound waves are mixed into music that people are already listening to as they go about their day. 

Apple says that: “Songs have been enhanced with auditory beats or coloured noise to help encourage specific brain responses. Gamma waves and white noise — a whoosh-like combination of every sound frequency — may help with focusing; theta waves could aid in relaxation; and delta waves and pink noise — a deeper, gentler variation akin to rain or wind — might assist in achieving better sleep. A dreamy version of Katy Perry’s “Double Rainbow”, for example, could help listeners drift off to sleep, while an Imagine Dragons track might help them tackle a to-do list.”

Sound Therapy was developed by a UK-based team of producers, scientists, and audio engineers at Sollos, a music-wellness venture incubated within Universal Music Group, with whom Apple has partnered.  Learn more about Sound Therapy here
