A technical breakdown of every frequency layer and the role it plays in the session.
Every VōxSōma session is built from carefully tuned audio layers. Each one is designed around a specific frequency principle, then balanced with the others so your voice sits naturally inside the whole. This page describes how each layer works and why it is there. None of this is required reading to use the product — but if you want to understand the architecture, here it is.
The Evening Wind-Down — Record Your Voice is a 36-minute audio experience that progresses across four phases — Vagus tone, Alpha settle, Theta receptive window, Delta drop. Five precision sound layers are blended throughout, with your seven recorded affirmations woven through the central theta window. Stereo headphones are strongly recommended — phone speakers will not deliver the spatial elements.
Wellness audio tool · not a medical device · not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition. Many practitioners describe a sense of calm alertness during and after the session. Individual experiences vary.
A pair of tones — 150 Hz in the left ear, 156 Hz in the right. The 6 Hz difference between them creates a stereo difference tone in the theta range. Stereo headphones required for the stereo difference effect.
A deeper pair of tones — 80 Hz left, 82 Hz right. The 2 Hz difference produces a stereo difference tone in the delta range. Used as a continuous foundation across the session.
Tones at 125 Hz and 132.83 Hz, producing a 7.83 Hz stereo difference tone. This frequency sits between the theta and alpha ranges and is sometimes referred to in audio practice as the "Schumann frequency."
A 174 Hz tone pulsing at 6 Hz. Unlike stereo difference tones, isochronic pulses are perceptible without headphones, providing a parallel rhythmic element to the theta layer.
Your seven personal intentions, recorded in your own voice. We balance the volume across the session, add a subtle room ambience, and place each affirmation at structured intervals throughout the listening experience. You can also ask someone you trust to record for you.
The five layers are not played at equal volume. The voice (L5) is foregrounded — placed in front of the listener — while the stereo and isochronic layers (L1–L4) sit behind it as a steady architectural foundation. We use deterministic Web Audio processing in your browser to balance the levels and place each affirmation at structured intervals across the session length.
No layer makes any medical or therapeutic claim. The frequencies are well-known in audio practice and are used as a structural design element, not a medical treatment. If you have a history of epilepsy, seizures, or are sensitive to entrained-rhythm audio, consult your doctor before listening. See Safety for full guidelines.
Most affirmation audio products use a single voice on top of generic background music. VōxSōma layers your own voice with calibrated frequency tones to create a session that is consistent across many listenings, and uniquely yours each time. This is the technical design choice we made — not a clinical claim.
