SonicSenses Lab
Hear the thing, then read about it
Small, honest listening experiments that run entirely in your browser. Each one generates its own audio on the spot - no uploads, no accounts, no streaming - and each claim carries an evidence label so you can see how solid the ground is.
Try it
- Noise colour comparisonSwitch between white, pink and brown noise and hear how the spectral tilt changes.Evidence rating: Established science
- A/B listening comparatorLevel-matched switching between two sounds, with an optional blind mode.Evidence rating: Established science
- Frequency and oscillator demoSweep a single tone across the audible range and compare waveform shapes.Evidence rating: Established science
- Stereo panning demoMove one sound across the stereo field and check your left/right balance.Evidence rating: Established science
- Binaural beat demoTwo detuned tones, one per ear - with an honest summary of what the evidence shows.Evidence rating: Moderate evidence

- What noise colours actually areSpectral slope, masking, and why brown noise sounds like a waterfall.Evidence rating: Established science
- Binaural beats: what is supportedWhere the research is consistent, where it is mixed, and what is unsupported.Evidence rating: Moderate evidence
- Listening levels and safe exposureHow level and duration combine, and how to set a sensible volume.Evidence rating: Established science
