Unlocking Calm: Binaural Beats and Nature Sounds Transform Stress Relief
Stress is universal—especially for young people balancing work demands, complex social environments, and looming future plans. A study from Yang et al. (2025) explored how binaural beat treatments across 3 frequencies (theta 6 Hz, alpha 10 Hz, and beta 25 Hz) regulate the nervous system and reduce anxiety. Find out more below about what each of these frequencies does for your wellbeing.
The study showed that young people exposed to natural sounds embedded with binaural beats for 20 minutes experienced significant reductions in heart rate and blood pressure — clear signs of relaxation. These results reinforce what we know at Audicin: binaural beats are powerful tools to calm and restore the nervous system.

Why nervous system regulation matters
At the heart of stress relief is something deeper than mood: the autonomic nervous system (ANS). This system controls automatic bodily functions like heart rate, breathing, and digestion—and it has two main branches:
• Sympathetic nervous system (SNS): the “fight-or-flight” response that keeps us alert and ready for action.
• Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS): the “rest-and-digest” mode that slows heart rate, promotes digestion, and triggers growth and healing.
Life often keeps us locked in fight-or-flight for much longer than our bodies were ever designed to endure, leading to chronic stress, poor sleep, digestive issues, and even lowered immunity. Nervous system regulation is about activating the PNS branch, giving our body and mind the chance to recover, restore, and function at their best.
This is why having effective tools to guide us into rest-and-digest mode isn’t just helpful—it’s essential for long-term health and wellbeing.

Why frequencies matter—and why Audicin offers them all
While the study tested theta, alpha, and beta frequencies , Audicin goes further. We incorporate all scientifically validated frequencies in our curated audio treatments.
In the case of the 3 frequencies from the Yang et al. study, they all support a different mental and physiological states:
• Theta (6 Hz): Deep relaxation and anxiety relief
• Alpha (10 Hz): Calm focus and balanced, relaxed mood
• Beta (25 Hz): Emotional regulation, focus and alertness
Instead of choosing one, Audicin dynamically blends these frequencies in our audio journeys, tailoring each treatment session to help your body shift naturally into a relaxed, balanced state.

The healing power of nature sounds
In the Yang et al. study, the binaural beats were embedded in natural soundscapes—and this isn’t a coincidence. Nature sounds have been shown to lower heart rate, reduce blood pressure, and activate the parasympathetic nervous system even more effectively.
At Audicin, our engineering takes full advantage of this natural relaxation signalling system, and often combines binaural beats with carefully designed nature audio, giving listeners a multi-layered experience that feels soothing and clinically effective.

What did the study measure—and what changed?
To see how binaural beats affect stress and nervous system regulation, the researchers measured: Heart rate, Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) and Heart rate variability (HRV): measures of nervous system balance. And after just 20 minutes of listening:
• Heart rate and blood pressure significantly dropped, showing reduced physiological arousal
• HRV measures improved, indicating a shift toward parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) activation
• All three frequencies showed benefits, with some differences: for example, beta-frequency beats notably reduced diastolic BP
These objective physiological changes show that audio treatment impacts are measurable in your body.
