What Terra Studio is, and what it isn’t
Terra Studio creates nature soundscapes and binaural tones for relaxation and focus. It is a wellbeing tool. It is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition, and it is not a substitute for advice, diagnosis or treatment from a doctor or other qualified health professional. If you have any concerns about your health, please speak to one.
Please talk to your doctor before using Terra Studio if:
- you have epilepsy, or have ever had a seizure
- light, flashing images or moving patterns have ever made you unwell (photosensitivity)
- you have a heart condition or an implanted medical device, such as a pacemaker
- you have a neurological condition
- you’re being treated for a mental health condition
- you’re unsure whether it’s right for you
Never use binaural tones when you need your full attention
Binaural tones and slow, relaxing soundscapes can make you drowsy or less alert. Don’t use them while driving, cycling, operating machinery, supervising children, or doing anything else where your full attention keeps you or others safe.
Look after your hearing
Binaural tones need headphones, and they work at a low volume. You don’t need to turn it up.
- The World Health Organization suggests keeping personal audio below 60 percent of maximum volume.
- For adults, the WHO considers listening at up to 80 decibels for up to 40 hours a week to be safe.
- Take regular short breaks away from headphones.
- If you notice ringing in your ears or sounds seem muffled afterwards, stop and rest your ears. If it doesn’t go away, see a doctor.
Terra Studio limits its own output and fades sound in gently, but your device’s volume is still up to you.
About the visuals
The water and light animations are designed to move gently and never flash rapidly. If motion makes you uncomfortable, turn on Calm visuals, or switch on reduced motion in your device’s settings. Terra Studio follows that setting automatically.
Stop if something doesn’t feel right
Stop listening straight away if you feel dizzy, light-headed, sick, anxious, disoriented, or get a headache. Most people feel fine again quickly. If symptoms carry on, seek medical advice.
What the science says, honestly
- Research on binaural beats is mixed. Some studies report people feeling more relaxed. Others found no benefit, and one large study found that binaural beats made performance on demanding thinking tasks slightly worse. We don’t promise any particular effect.
- You’ll see carrier tones like 432, 528 and 639 Hz in the Studio. We offer them because people enjoy how they sound. There is no reliable scientific evidence that any specific frequency heals the body, repairs DNA, or has special effects beyond those of any calm, gentle sound.
Who Terra Studio is for
Terra Studio is intended for adults aged 18 and over.
