Healing Frequencies: A Guide to Each Tone

Healing frequencies are specific sound tones — measured in hertz (Hz) — that people listen to for relaxation, meditation and emotional balance. The best known are the Solfeggio frequencies, from 174 Hz to 963 Hz, along with 432 Hz tuning. Scientific evidence for specific healing effects is limited, but many listeners find them calming and useful for focus and sleep.

Use headphones at a low, comfortable volume. Start with 10–20 minutes during meditation, before sleep, or as background while you work. Notice how you feel rather than forcing an outcome.

A note on evidence

Research on sound and relaxation is promising, but claims about curing illness are not supported. Treat frequencies as a wellbeing practice alongside — not instead of — medical care.
