Every person is unique. That’s why for the Hoom project, we studied the landscape of existing sound methods to create the most complete content library possible.
All our content is original and specially studied to induce the deepest and fastest possible sleep.
You might be easily drawn in by hypnotic documentaries, while your partner will be fascinated by the binaural frequencies offered in guided meditations.
Behind every content, there is a journey… and a secret!
Here are the 5 elements that the HoomBand team and sleep experts (hypnotherapists, sophrologists) worked on to create a unique experience every night.
HoomBand's ingredient #1: hypnotic stories
Our hypnotic stories hide their game well…
Studied and created by hypnotherapists, these immersive stories hide very specific techniques to induce sleep: Fluff, induction, Vakog, sprinkling, etc.
What makes them powerful is that these stories captivate you without even feeling like your subconscious is preparing you to sleep.
By exploring Dali's masterpieces, a painter's studio, Einstein's work, or the Milky Way aboard a spaceship, you embark on journeys far from your reality.
Perfect for escaping before falling into the arms of Morpheus.

Ingredient #2 of HoomBand: white noises
Contrary to what is believed, the sound of a waterfall, waves, or wind is not white noise.
“Real” white noises are not pleasant to hear at all. Imagine a badly tuned TV or a radio set to the wrong frequency!
So we have “wrapped” them in pleasant soundtracks to enhance their effects.
The white noises are perfect for people suffering from nighttime awakenings due to noise or those with increased sensitivity to noise before falling asleep.
Beyond their effects on sleep, researchers have also discovered that they could increase our capacity for memory and learning...
Ingredient #3 of HoomBand: ASMR
Having become an essential trend on the Internet, ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) has strangely won over millions of sleepers worldwide.
Mouth sounds, whispering, tapping on a hard surface, rubbing hands: some speak of a deep relaxing effect, shivers down the spine, even a brain orgasm!
Science has studied this phenomenon and concluded its effectiveness.
We do not use “pure” ASMR in our content library, but we have chosen to include it in many stories and sounds to intensify their soporific effects.
And according to some researchers, it might be even more effective...
Ingredient #4 of HoomBand: binaural frequencies
Behind the barbaric name of binaural frequencies lies a curious scientific phenomenon.
Two frequencies (one for the right ear and one for the left ear) are used at the same time to “force” the brain to create a lower frequency, which immediately soothes it.
Not only do they help you fall asleep faster, but they also provide a deep feeling of well-being.
To listen to binaural frequencies, it is therefore essential to wear headphones.
Listening to them with the HoomBand or HoomBand Ultimate headband is therefore ideal for falling asleep!
Very effective, we combine them with guided meditations and background sounds to amplify the soporific power of our content.
Ingredient #5 of HoomBand: the sacred frequencies
Surrounded by mysteries, 9 sacred frequencies are said to have the ability to heal the physical, psychic, and spiritual ailments of those who listen to them.
From ancient Gregorian chants, through the chants of ancient Egypt and Tibetan bowls: humans knew that certain “sounds” soothed them without really knowing why...
Although their effects are not yet proven today, many people feel their benefits.
That is why we have chosen to include them as background sound in some of our meditations and hypnotic stories.
Among the 9 known frequencies, each with very particular properties, we always choose the one that will be most appropriate to soothe the mind and deeply relax.
Behind every content offered in the Livlab app, there is a real desire to provide a unique experience.
We are constantly seeking the perfect alchemy between narrative content (for stories), background sound, and the desired effect.
Every sound and story should give the impression of falling asleep in a pleasant and reassuring sound cocoon!
