Read full description

This APP is for personal and private meditation. It is designed as a personal lab for your own experimentation and relaxation. This APP digitally generates two pure sinusoidal tones of a fixed frequency and presents one to each ear. The frequency difference between these two tones is precisely controlled in the frequency range of 1 to 100 Hz. This covers the Delta (1-3 Hz), Theta (4-7 Hz), Alpha (8-12 Hz), Beta (13-30 Hz) and Gamma (31-100 Hz) brain wave ranges. The upper frequency difference limit is 100 Hz which is the top of the Gamma range. The Delta range represents a deep stage of slow wave (NREM) sleep. The Theta range represents hippocampal or cortical brain oscillations which are common in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. The Alpha range represents an occipital brain oscillation which is common during wakeful relaxation with the eyes closed. Alpha and Theta ranges are both useful in pain management and for boosting creativity. With some practice and persistence you will develop a spontaneous ability to enter these states. The Beta range represents the normal awake state. The Gamma range represents extremely high levels of cognitive functioning and concentration, especially around 40 Hz. A Phase mode feature is also available in this APP but is totally experimental. This feature activates automatically when you reduce the difference frequency to zero. This mode places the same frequency in each ear but allows you to adjust the phase between the two signals from 0 to 359 degrees. This may effect the way the left and right brain transfer information and could perhaps lead to interesting discoveries. We recommend the use of headphones or earbuds to ensure that each ear only hears the single pure tone for that ear. Although these tones are unique to each ear, your brain will detect the difference and you will sense a beat frequency in the appropriate range. Your brain will respond to this selected beat frequency and will start to generate a matching signal. Learning to achieve the appropriate state of consciousness will relax you and help to put you in a more creative state of mind. This is a deep level of mind which is normally reached during prolonged meditation. Relax, be patient and experiment to find the right tones that relax you. The Alpha range is great for getting into a creative state whereas the Theta range is best for deep relaxation. The Delta range will help you to achieve deep sleep. Read about these states on the internet and experiment with them using this App. You can fully customize the frequencies to match your needs. This you will learn through experimentation. Press the "Back" button to return to the Alpha Pro control page. Use this APP responsibly and find a safe place to be in a comfortable sitting position where you will not be disturbed. Do not operate machinery or drive a vehicle while listening to these tones. If you find this app useful, please rate it with Apple.

Bass boom from your neighbors can make it hard to settle in at home. BoomBuster plays sound designed to mask that low-frequency thump from neighboring stereos and subwoofers. Choose from three tracks — High, Mid, and Low — to find the masking sound that works best for the bass boom reaching your room. HOW TO USE BOOMBUSTER 1. Connect your phone to a speaker with good bass reproduction, or use headphones. A phone speaker alone is not able to reproduce enough low-frequency sound to mask deep bass boom. 2. Try High, Mid, and Low while your neighbor's bass is audible. Choose the track that makes the thump less noticeable. 3. Start at a low volume and increase gradually to a comfortable level. MADE FOR BASS BOOM FROM NEIGHBORS • Three masking tracks to try against the bass boom you hear at home • Continuous looping playback • A sleep timer so you can choose how long to listen • Background playback and lock screen controls • Playback through your own speaker or headphones BoomBuster is for masking airborne bass sound indoors. It does not stop the neighbor's music, alter their speakers, or remove vibration traveling through floors and walls. Results depend on the bass reaching your room, your speaker, and the volume you can comfortably use. TRY IT AT HOME Eligible new subscribers can try BoomBuster with a 7-day free trial. Use the trial while your neighbor's bass boom is audible to see whether the tracks help in your room. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Full access requires a subscription after the trial. Current plans and prices are shown in the app before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple account settings.
