The reason why the sounds of nature relax our minds is because they contain a type of ultrasonic wave called "1/f fluctuation."

The sound of waves has this same effect, calming an anxious mind.
In this article, we will introduce the power of the sound of waves.

Why are the sounds of nature so relaxing?

When you step into nature, such as near a forest, a river, a mountain, or the sea, don't you find that it relaxes both your body and mind?

I'm sure many of you have had the experience of feeling soothed just by looking at the ocean or listening to the sound of the waves.

Of course, the natural scenery is partly to blame, but the sounds of nature, such as the chirping of birds, the murmuring of streams, the rustling of trees, and the sound of waves, also calm our minds.

These sounds are said to have a very positive psychological effect.

That's why these kinds of natural sounds are used in so many healing albums these days.

Whether you're familiar with the ocean or not, don't you find listening to the sound of waves calms you down? This is also a form of healing.

Now, let's explore the hidden effects of the sound of waves.

1/f fluctuation

Sounds in nature, such as the sound of waves, contain ultrasonic waves that are inaudible to the human ear.
This is called "1/f fluctuation," and when our brains sense it, alpha waves are released, helping us relax.

Examples of 1/f fluctuations include the sound of leaves rubbing against each other or the faint flickering of a candle flame.

It is said that a good mix of regularity and irregularity is best.
It's true that it seems more relaxing to hear some moderate noise than to be in a completely silent space.

When you are busy with work or living a stressful life, your brain has few opportunities to produce alpha waves.

In such cases, try listening to the sound of waves, as your brain will sense the 1/f fluctuations and produce alpha waves.

The sound of the waves crashing and receding is by no means regular, but for some reason it is soothing.

That's also the result of 1/f fluctuations.

The sound of waves is similar to the sound of being in your mother's womb!

In fact, the sound of waves is very similar to the sound of being in your mother's womb.

So, listening to the sound of the waves gives us a sense of security, as if we've returned to our mother's womb, and helps us relax.

This may be why you feel better and more energetic when sunbathing on the beach.

The blue color of the ocean also has a relaxing effect, so the sound of the waves and the coast have a wonderful synergistic effect.

We humans cannot survive without water, and I believe that listening to the sound of the waves created by the ocean, which is said to be a symbol of life, is the most effective way to relax.

Wave sound effect

Listening to the sound of the waves can help relax our minds, but it can also do more good.

This means you can get better quality sleep, reduce stress, and recover from fatigue and poor health.

The sound of waves is said to be particularly good for manic and panicky states, and is perfect for when you feel so high you can't control it, or when you're in an anxious state and don't know what to do.

I think it will help you calm down from the sense of frustration that you feel at a loss as to what to do.

In terms of calming the mind, it's also good to use when meditating or doing yoga, as you'll likely get even greater benefits.

Control your life with the sound of the waves!

When you want to calm yourself down, or when you're so tired that you can't think straight, try listening to the sound of the waves.

If you live near the sea, it's a good idea to take a leisurely stroll along the coast without thinking about anything.

If you're not near the ocean, we recommend listening to the sound of the waves with headphones for about 30 minutes.

If possible, dim the lights in your room, close your eyes, and let the sound of the waves fill your ears.

Even if your mood doesn't improve dramatically in an instant, I'm sure your heart will feel heavier than it did before you heard the sound of the waves.

As you listen to it over and over, you'll find yourself smiling.

This will improve your relationships in your daily life and make your work more efficient.

Maybe you can make some small changes in yourself and your days will start to go in a better direction.

Why not try listening to the sound of the waves at the end of the day as a reward for your tired brain?
