Healing sounds

Music soothes the soul, and music that incorporates nature sounds is especially soothing. Sound therapy is a series of frequencies and wave forms. External sources can affect the rhythm of a person's heartbeat. Each gland in the body responds to a specific frequency in order to remain balanced and in harmony with the rest of the body. Sound therapy is used in medical facilities and institutions, schools, office buildings, and stores, and it is effective in calming the telephone customer left victim of the hold button.

Studies show that white noise has properties that relax humans and animals. White noise is made up of all the sound frequencies and has a masking effect. White noise sounds like the wind swooshing through the trees, a gentle spring rain, or the waves of the ocean embracing the shore (nature sounds), and is instinctively calming.
