About this session
- Supports better sleep
- Masks background noise
- Eases restless thoughts
This is a three-minute sound healing track by Gabriel Loynaz: pure white noise, with no voice and no melody. A single even hiss fills the space and covers small background sounds. Because it never shifts or builds, your attention has nothing to hold on to, and your mind can slowly power down.
Reach for it at bedtime, or when you wake in the small hours and can't get back to sleep. It also suits noisy homes, busy evenings and anyone whose thoughts get loud once the lights go out. Loop it so the sound keeps going for as long as you need.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What exactly am I hearing?
You hear white noise: a constant, even hiss with no tune, no beat and no spoken words. The sound stays the same from the first second to the last, so there are no changes to catch your attention.
Why does steady sound help with falling asleep?
A sound that never changes gives your mind nothing new to react to, and it blankets small noises like traffic, voices or creaks. Many people find that this lets their attention loosen and their thoughts quieten. It works as a calming backdrop, not as a cure for sleeplessness.
How should I use it when I wake during the night?
Keep the track ready on your phone or headphones so you can press play without turning on a bright light. Keep the volume low, lie still and let the hiss fill the room. Because it is only three minutes, set it to repeat if you want it to continue.
Is this different from a guided sleep meditation?
Yes. There is no voice, no breathing instruction and no imagery to follow. It is a pure soundscape, which suits you if talking or visualising keeps you more awake than relaxed.
