An editable binaural soundscape maker for iPhone

Press play. Then make it yours.

Start inside a complete soundscape, not a blank editor. Listen first. When a layer catches your ear, open it up, reshape the sound, and save your version to keep exploring.

No account. No subscription. Stereo headphones recommended.

Resonant Tide playing as a five-layer editable binaural soundscape on iPhone
Resonant Tide

Meet Resonant Tide

A deep brown-noise bed rolls beneath two pink-noise breakers. White-noise foam brightens the surface, with a subtle binaural current underneath. Press play to hear the whole five-layer soundscape before you touch a control.

From first listen to your own version

There is always something to hear before there is anything to learn. Go deeper one decision at a time.

  • Listen. Open one of four complete presets and hear the full soundscape before changing a thing.
  • Shape. Mute, reorder, duplicate, or adjust a layer using the controls available for that sound.
  • Keep. Save an editable version you can reopen, duplicate, import, or export later.
Rolling Waves following a repeating left-right stereo path in Aural Studio

Pan & Stereo Motion

Send a wave across stereo

Give Rolling Waves a repeating path between left and right. With headphones, its movement becomes part of the tide while the bed, foam, and current keep playing. Compatible tone and noise layers can also hold a stereo position or follow a repeating path.

Aural Studio automation curve editor with authored control points

Automation

Draw how the sound unfolds

Choose a value available for the layer and draw a curve across its duration. Scrub to a moment, then listen as playback follows the same rise, dip, or turn. The change stays with your version.

Tone Filter editor showing filter response, cutoff, and resonance controls

Tone Filter

Darken or brighten the texture

For tones and noise with filtering, choose low-pass or high-pass and adjust cutoff and resonance while you listen. Set a layer deeper into the soundscape or bring its edge forward.

Rolling Waves volume shaping Sea Foam volume and Binaural Current beat frequency

Control Sources

Let one wave shape two more

When Rolling Waves swells, Sea Foam rises and the Binaural Current's beat shifts with it. In Resonant Tide, the changing volume of one layer can drive those two values. Shape one source instead of redrawing the same movement, and the original settings remain ready if you change course.

Your version stays editable

Save the soundscape and reopen it later. Duplicate a version before taking a new direction. Import or explicitly export Aural documents when you choose. Your work remains editable after the sound stops.

Simple to start. Clear about the rest.

Listen with care

Stereo headphones are recommended for binaural and stereo-motion playback. Listen at a comfortable level, stop if you feel discomfort, and do not listen where reduced attention could create risk.

FAQ

Is Aural for listening or making?

Both. Start with a complete preset and press play. If you want to go deeper, open the same soundscape, change its layers, and save your own version.

Do I need to understand synthesis?

No. Resonant Tide, Alpha Calm, Theta Drift, and Delta Rest give you four complete starting points. Open a layer only when something catches your ear.

What can I change?

The controls depend on the layer. They can include volume, pitch or binaural beat, timing, stereo position or motion, and low-pass or high-pass filtering. You can also reorder, duplicate, mute, or remove supported layers.

Binaural playback uses related tones in separate left and right channels. Stereo motion also depends on left-right separation, so headphones make those differences easier to hear as intended.

What leaves my device?

Aural documents stay on your device unless you explicitly export them. Aural uses limited TelemetryDeck product analytics as described in the Privacy Policy; it does not use an account or cloud document library.

Press play. Follow your ear.

Start with Resonant Tide. Open the layers only when you want to. Save the version that sounds like yours, then come back and shape it again.
