How do those videos of pure tones in the sub 1Hz or in general any Hz tones produce that tone for the video? (sopuli.xyz)

I want to be able to do that too, like this one for instance

PURE 0.33 Hz EPSILON BINAURAL BEATS | Epsilon Waves | Reality Shifting โšก๏ธ

It would be great to be able to produce any arbitrary Hz pure tone or whatever that example is

Like 0.165Hz or anything

Entrainment is most strongly related to light exposure, meal timing, and resource access.

I struggle to find anything related to audio.

Additionally, your headphones/phone/speakers do not have the ability to generate a 1hz tone with any power as to be noticeable or effective in any way. If anything can be tied to 1hz in the audio you're listening to in these videos it would be higher frequency tones, chords, or sounds that have a pattern that repeats once per second.

most strongly

That doesnt negate the fact there is very much rhythmic/aural entrainment. Entrainment isnt just visual, its also very heavily associated with music and rhythm, so also aural and physical/motion

Ok but what do you hear in that video? Im trying to also figure out what the heck it actually is but its also isolated from the fact that I like it and I think it is relaxing

Thats not dispositive of the fact there is very much rhythmic/aural entrainment.

As I mentioned, I didn't find any official sources for that. I won't claim they don't exist, but the fact that research on that topic is harder to find does not work in favor of its validity.

I like it and I think it is relaxing.

I think this is all that you should be concerned about. If you like it, there's no harm in enjoying it as much as you like. Sometimes the mystery is the magic, y'know?
