While you may be actively searching for the best white noise study companion to help when you hit the books, let’s introduce you to a more sophisticated option! A team of experts can now help you create the perfect study environment through a mixture of noise types selected especially to help you stay focused for longer.
Endel, a recently released iOS mobile app now available worldwide, could be your best new study tool. This revolutionary app was developed by a Berlin-based team of artists, developers, and scientists who understand the connection between sound and our well-being in terms of our heart rate, blood pressure, and state of mind.
Users are given the option to select from four different sound modes based on their personal needs— Focus, Relax, Sleep, and On-the-Go. The app then automatically generates a distinct natural soundscape, which also adapts real-time to a number of personalized inputs such as location, time zone, weather, and heart rate. Check it out for yourself by downloading Endel here or via the button below.
It is important to note that not all background noise or music has the same positive impact. A study conducted by the University of Phoenix found that certain types of music can be distracting and actually negatively impact concentration levels. Listening to music with lyrics forces the mind to multitask, which took away from the subjects’ ability to focus on a task. That’s why Endel can be such a beneficial focus partner, it’s devoid of vocals and harsh instrumentation.
