Frequently asked questions

Why listen to background noise while studying?

A steady, predictable noise (rain, waves, a coffee shop room tone) can mask the sudden, more distracting sounds around you, helping some people hold their concentration for longer. The effect varies from person to person: the best way to find out is to try it.

Do the sounds loop without gaps?

Yes, every track is meant to be played on a continuous loop. On this page the loop is handled by the browser itself (native audio tag); in the FocusSea app the loop also gets a crossfade of a few seconds on every pass, for an even smoother transition.

Can I play several sounds at once?

On this page it is one sound at a time, to keep things simple. Mixing tracks (e.g. rain + fireplace) is possible but needs more care with the relative volumes: a good next experiment if you find this page useful.
