In this episode of Listening Well, we return to the sonic center. This 45-minute ambient soundscape is composed at 440 Hz, the standard pitch reference used across most modern music. While often viewed as a neutral tone, 440 Hz can offer a sense of calm, coherence, and tonal clarity, making it a powerful anchor for quiet presence.
Whether you're meditating, focusing, or simply seeking a steady background to unwind, this soundscape holds space for non-intrusive stillness — ideal for mental reset and emotional grounding.
🎯 Why 440 Hz?
While some healing traditions focus on alternative frequencies (like 432 Hz or 528 Hz), 440 Hz remains the global standard for musical tuning and offers unique benefits of its own:
-
Provides a stable, balanced auditory environment
-
Ideal for mental clarity, creative focus, and everyday presence
-
Lacks energetic push or pull — making it neutral, spacious, and adaptable
-
Useful for transitioning between emotional states or clearing mental noise
-
Great for blending with other frequencies or as a base for breathwork and meditation
This episode is less about transformation — and more about returning to the quiet, grounded middle.
⚠️ Listening Considerations
This track is subtle and intended for low-impact, ambient support. Keep in mind:
-
Use good speakers or headphones for full frequency balance
-
Ideal at low to medium volume, especially during rest or work
-
May feel “neutral” — this is intentional; it’s designed to clear the palette
-
Best paired with intentional practices like journaling, mindful breaks, or breathwork
🧘 Ideal Listening Moments
-
As a sonic reset between emotional or mental tasks
-
While working, studying, or journaling
-
Before meditation or after intense screen time
-
As a grounding background for slow mornings or quiet evenings
-
When you're not looking to “shift,” but to settle

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
