- 9Hz isochronic tones the low alpha frequency range
- Experienced during states of relaxation and meditation
- Within a slower and relaxing frequency range that is calming, helpful for reducing stress and anxiety
Claims Found Associated with the 9Hz Frequency Online
The following claims, links and references have been associated with this frequency online. I can’t confirm the validity of this information or how effective this frequency will be for these purposes. Still, you may find it helpful as a starting point for your testing and analysis.
- Associated with Sacral/Svadhisthana chakra (orange)
How the Tracks are Constructed
- Each track contains pure 9Hz isochronic tones throughout the whole track, with no additional sound or frequencies used.
- The 15, 30 and 60-minute tracks contain no fades/ramps at either end of the track.
Which Pitch Frequency Should You Choose?
The pitch frequency of the tones relates to what they sound like, not the speed of the beat. Neither pitch frequency is necessarily better than the other regarding brainwave entrainment effectiveness. So, the option choice depends on your preference and how you plan to use it.
- The 120Hz pitch frequency is the deeper-sounding option. The deeper-sounding tone is often a good choice for a more relaxed session, as it’s more soothing.
- The 180Hz pitch frequency sounds sharper to listen to. It’s a good option if you want to listen to it during the daytime without falling asleep.
Listening on a Mobile Device?
Some mobile devices’ speakers can be quite small and produce a weak bass sound. This might mean the deeper-sounding 120Hz pitch tracks are harder to hear on those types of devices. So, if that’s the case with your mobile device, I advise listening to the 120Hz tracks using earphones to ensure you can hear the tones more clearly. Check by using the demo above.
Both pitch frequencies should work well if listened to with earphones/headphones.
Using Other Sounds or Music
The most substantial brainwave entrainment effect comes from listening to the pure sound of isochronic tones without any added soundtrack. However, they are also widely used with other sounds, making them more pleasant to listen to. Combining the tones with different soundtracks is a bit of a trade-off.
If you plan to listen to the tones in combination with other sounds or music, you could choose the pitch frequency that best suits your purpose. For example:
- Combining the tones with more profound, softer soundtracks, the 120Hz tracks will blend into the track more.
- Combining the tones with higher-pitched electronic, pop or even some classical music, the 180Hz tracks blend better.
It again comes down to your choice. Some people prefer the sound of the tones to blend more into other soundtracks they combine them with so they sound less invasive. However, the more they blend into another soundtrack and become more challenging to hear, the less effective they become in the pure brainwave entrainment effect. Again, it’s a trade-off.
Peak Sine Waveform
These new ‘Just Tones’ tracks use a new waveform designed to stimulate a stronger reaction in your brainwave activity. The initial sharp peak at the beginning of the waveform imitates the shape of neuronal oscillations. The end of the waveform mirrors the shape of a typical sine wave. Hence why I’ve called it a ‘peak sine’.
This combination of a sharp peak followed by a smooth wave is designed to produce a strong stimulation effect that is more pleasant to listen to.
