Terra Studio

Opening the page

A still forest pond in soft morning light, with mist and drifting pollen over the water.

Living soundscapes · made in your browser

Rain moving through leaves. A tide that takes its time. Terra Studio builds living soundscapes in your browser and lets you place every sound exactly where you want it.

Listen plays 20 seconds of rain. Headphones make it better.

One moment

Before you listen

Terra Studio is for relaxation and focus. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition.

  • Please check with your doctor first if you have epilepsy or have ever had a seizure, if flashing or moving light affects you, if you have a heart condition or an implanted device such as a pacemaker, or if you're being treated for a neurological or mental health condition.
  • Don't use binaural tones while driving, cycling, operating machinery or doing anything that needs your full attention.
  • Keep your volume low. Below 60 percent of your device's maximum is a good rule.
  • Stop straight away if you feel dizzy, unwell, anxious or uncomfortable.

01 · Three ways in

Each is made fresh in your browser as you listen, so it never loops in a way you can hear. Hover a card to see it in the water.

Rain

Thousands of drops on leaves and stone, with a soft hiss between them. Light and close, or a distant downpour.

Free in the Playground

Ocean

A tide that takes its time. Waves gather, break and draw back over the sand.

Free in the Playground

Binaural tones

Two soft tones, one in each ear, a few hertz apart. For headphones, at a low volume. Listening safely

Free in the Playground

02 · Place the sound

Every sound has a place around you. Drag the rain, or select the field and use the arrow keys (hold Shift for bigger steps). With headphones on, you hear it travel from ear to ear, near and far.

Best with headphones, at a low volume.

With Canopy the whole forest opens up. These are real screens from the Studio.

07 · Questions

Is Terra Studio free?

The Playground needs no account. A free account (Grove) lets you shape the sound and save three mixes. Canopy, with more sounds and features, is coming soon. See the plans.

Do I need headphones?

Not for the nature sounds, though they place sound around you much better. On speakers, choose Speakers in the Studio mixer for a clean left-to-right sound. Binaural tones need headphones to work at all.

Will it help me sleep?

Many people find calm sound helps them wind down, and the sleep timer fades out gently. We don’t promise any particular effect, and Terra Studio is not a medical device. Our safety guide explains what the research says.

How loud does it get?

Terra Studio caps its own output and fades every session in over a few seconds. Your device volume is still up to you: below 60 percent of the maximum is a good rule.

Does it work offline?

With Canopy you can install Terra Studio as an app and listen offline. All the sound is made on your own device.

What happens to my data?

We keep only what your account needs, with no advertising and no tracking. You can download or delete everything from your account page. Read the privacy notice.
