Can I choose background sounds?
Yes. Subrise allows you to personalise the sound environment of your sessions by selecting the types of background sounds that you find most enjoyable, relaxing, or supportive.
What types of background sounds are available?
Depending on your subscription and session type, available options may include:
- Nature Sounds - rain, ocean waves, forest sounds, flowing water, birds and natural ambience
- Ambient Soundscapes - immersive sound environments designed to create a particular mood, helping you relax, focus, or reflect
- Musical Soundscapes - gentle instrumental and atmospheric audio designed to support relaxation, mindfulness, focus, or sleep
- Binaural Beats - specially designed audio frequencies that some listeners use to support relaxation, concentration, meditation, or sleep
- ASMR-Inspired Sounds - subtle sounds that some people find calming, soothing, or immersive
- Minimal or No Background Sound - for users who prefer the guidance voice to remain the primary focus
Why do background sounds matter?
Background sounds can influence how a session feels and how easily you become immersed in the experience. Some people find nature sounds relaxing, while others prefer ambient music, binaural beats, or very little background audio. There is no right or wrong choice, it's about finding what works best for you.
Can I change my sound preferences?
Yes. You can update your sound preferences at any time through your profile settings. Future sessions will then take your updated preferences into account.
Can I use different sounds for different sessions?
Absolutely. You might prefer ocean sounds for relaxation, binaural beats for focus, minimal audio for mindfulness, or ambient soundscapes for Understand (Exploration) sessions.
Do background sounds affect the content of the session?
No. Background sounds influence the listening experience but do not change the core guidance, message, or purpose of the session.
