What Are Binaural Beats? A Plain-English Guide
A plain guide to binaural beats: how two slightly different tones make a third pulse you hear, why headphones matter, and what the research says so far.
Binaural beats and pulsing tones
A binaural beat is two slightly different tones, one in each ear, that you hear as a slow beat. A pulsing tone is one tone that gets louder and softer at a steady rate, so it works on a speaker too. This topic explains how both are built, how to read a label like “Theta · 6 Hz”, and what research has and hasn’t found.
Every article gives its sources and says how strong the evidence is, using the same three labels as the Frequency Explorer.
