Questions
Does a heartbeat sound help you sleep?
Many people find a slow, steady rhythm calming, and it also covers up background noise. Results vary and there is little scientific proof for any single sound, so treat it as a comfort aid, not a treatment. If you often have trouble sleeping, talk to a doctor.
What heart rate should I choose for sleep?
For sleep, most people start with a slow resting rate of about 60 beats per minute. For a newborn, a faster 110 to 130 BPM is often used because it is closer to the rhythm a baby heard before birth. For a puppy, a slow steady rhythm of around 60 to 100 BPM is common.
Can I use a heartbeat sound for a puppy or newborn?
Many owners and parents use a heartbeat sound to help settle a puppy or a baby. Keep the volume low, place the speaker a few feet away and never inside a crib or bed, and ask your vet or paediatrician if you are unsure.
Can I play it all night?
Yes. It loops until you pause it, or you can set a sleep timer of 15, 30 or 60 minutes or 8 hours with a gentle fade-out. Phones stop web audio when the screen locks, so keep the screen on and the phone plugged in.
Is Heartbeat Sound free?
Yes. It is free and open source, with no ads, no sign-up and no tracking of your data. Everything runs in your browser.
