Settling

Sleep

Low and quiet, for the edge of the night.

About this intention

At the edge of sleep, most people want less: less brightness, less volume, less change. The frequencies gathered here are low and even, and they are usually played very quietly. Sound can support a wind-down routine; it is not a treatment for insomnia.

Why these frequencies

The pairings below come from Solfeggio teaching, modern wellness practice and the plain character of each pitch. They are cultural and experiential associations — described as they are practised, not as measured effects.

  • 174 Hz

    The lowest tone in the library — often preferred at the quietest end of the evening.

  • 432 Hz

    A common choice for long, unchanging background listening.

  • 396 Hz

    Used in some modern practices as a closing tone for letting the day go.
