Real output from an actual run on the request below. Nothing is reworded.
The request
Deep work in an open-plan office. Likes brown noise and rain; wants to avoid sudden sounds.
Real run, 2026-10-08 — one of the tool's own built-in examples.
Deep Work Foundation
- Steady Base (brown noise, volume 70): Brown noise was your stated preference and provides a consistent, low-frequency foundation intended to make open-plan chatter less distinct without sudden events.
- Subtle Texture (wind, volume 35): A gentle, organic layer added to give the mix some subtle movement while staying well clear of sudden sounds—keeps it from feeling static over 25 minutes without introducing jarring breaks.
Start here
Start with brown noise at 70, then slowly bring wind up to 35 while you settle in. If the mix feels too busy or if you notice wind sounds startling you, drop wind to 20 or mute it entirely and stick with brown noise alone.
In a Nutshell
- When
- You need to concentrate and music keeps pulling you out of it.
- You give
- Your task, your environment, and any sounds you can't tolerate.
- You get
- A soundscape recipe you can build, tuned to that combination.
- The edge
- It accounts for auditory sensitivities, so the recommendation isn't 'lo-fi beats' for everyone.
Good to Know
- Start with fewer layers than feels thorough — one steady layer you can actually ignore usually beats three that compete for attention
- Use 'How does it sound?' rather than regenerating from scratch — it changes the smallest number of layers needed and leaves the rest alone
- If you're sensitive to sudden sounds, say so — rain and fire are filtered out automatically
- Binaural beats are available as a manual add-on for anyone who wants them, but the generated mix won't suggest them — there's no need for a scientifically loaded option when ordinary layers can do the job
Questions people ask
Is brown noise good for focus?
Many people find steady low noise makes chatter less distinct. Nothing guarantees focus — try it at a moderate volume and adjust by what you notice.
Why did it leave out rain?
Rain has irregular drops, and the request asked to avoid sudden sounds. Needs like that override preferences.
Does it play the sound?
Yes. The mix plays in your browser, and you can adjust each layer and tell it what isn't working.
