741 Hz is used to clear your head: before writing, during focused work, or when you need to find the words for something. It's brighter than the lower solfeggio tones, so it feels more alert than sleepy.

Where does 741 Hz come from?

741 Hz is paired with sol, from the line solve polluti (“loosen what is stained”) in the hymn Ut queant laxis. That line is where its “cleansing” association comes from.

How to listen to 741 Hz

  3. Set Auto-stop for 15 to 25 minutes.
