The integrity of our sonic tools we take seriously. In a world where sound frequencies and their effects are often misrepresented, we strive to ensure that what we claim is not only accurate but also detectable. Our approach is rooted in transparency, careful research, and respect for the individual experience of sound.
Accuracy Matters
When we say a sound incorporates a specific frequency, we mean it. Through our research, we’ve found that many widely used sound healing instruments and popular audio tracks — some with millions of listens on platforms like YouTube — do not actually contain the claimed frequencies. Tibetan singing bowls, for example, often produce a different note or frequency than advertised. While this doesn’t diminish their beauty or potential effects, it highlights the importance of honesty in representation.
At Flower of Sound, we believe in the principle of what you hear is what you get. Our sonic tools are designed with precision, and their frequencies are measurable, ensuring they deliver what we promise.
Navigating Big Claims
The sound healing world is full of bold claims, many of which are rooted in anecdotal evidence or repeated across websites without verification. While ancient practices and rituals inspire much of what we create, we are careful to distinguish between well-supported findings and speculative assertions.
For example, while there is scientific evidence that rhythmic sounds like rain can be soothing, individual experiences vary. If someone associates rain with trauma or negative memories, they may not find it relaxing, no matter what the research says. Similarly, the idea that we all vibrate at the same “universal frequency” oversimplifies the fact that every individual responds to sound uniquely.
Our Approach
We’re advocates of transparency and context in how sound is presented and used. Here’s what we prioritize:
Cultural and Scientific Context: We share the origins of the sounds and frequencies we use—whether rooted in ancient or even archaic practices, scientific research, book we read or our own interpretations of both.
Responsible Claims: When solid scientific evidence isn’t available, we avoid making bold promises. Instead, we share common findings and invite listeners to explore their own experiences.
Emotional Reactions: We understand that sound is deeply personal. While one sound may soothe one person, it may evoke discomfort in another.
Why This Matters
Sound is powerful, and its effects can be profound. By ensuring honesty and accuracy in how we create and present our sonic tools, we hope to build trust with our listeners and contribute to a deeper understanding of sound’s potential.
At Flower of Sound, we invite you to explore our tools with curiosity and confidence, knowing that what we share is grounded in integrity. Your experience is unique, and we’re here to provide a foundation for discovery, rooted in what we know — and honest about what we’re still learning.
