Binatural Beats is Scary o.0

**TyrannousWalnut** · 08-07-2010 05:00 AM

Does listening to binatural beats scare the shit out of anyone else?
i'm usually able to keep calm, but listening to anything with binatural beats makes me uneasy to say the least.

The scariness you felt signals the development of inner awareness while listening to BB. Be relaxed and calm.
What kind of scariness you feel? Is that vibrations and paralysis?

Also,

Why are they scary? I found a Binaural Beats app for free on my iPod touch and the beat I use is actually really relaxing. It has a few different sounds. In the background I can hear light rain with occasional thunder. And then in either headphone is a light sine wave sound. So it's not scary at all.

Hi, welcome to Dreamviews!

SillyDreamer, I think the OP means that the sound are chilling. I agree that some of them can sound pretty creepy, like you're listening to ambient halloween music. I have a file with alpha binaural beats, however, that actually sounds very nice and soothing.

If you go to Wikipedia's article on binaural beats, there are 2 audio samples on there. The first one is just beats to white noise background. It scared the shit out of me the first time I heard it.

Yes they can be a bit scary, in fact the first time my friend and I tried binaural beats we both had mild nightmares. After the first couple times though they are no longer frightening.

lol man I wouldn't give them a second go after nightmares, eff that hey ahaha. I think I'll settle for DILDing

pretty damn frightening

I like that one too. A less scary one would be the breakfast sizzle (on the same page). It goes from delta to beta in 10 minutes. It's supposed to rev you up.

I have some binaural beats that have an actual music feel to them and they give different effects and i can tell the difference.

Some binaural beats/isochronic tones can get you to a similiar state as hypnagogia(at least in my experiences) thus it creates minor trembling in me.
You can get used to it, but I find that scary feeling awesome, since I know that the beats have effect on me.

I find isochronic tones better btw.
