If I hadn’t seen it my own eyes, I really wouldn’t believe it – I’ve seen many unbelievable results – Now scientists are taking it seriously

Here’s a list of recent scientific studies

Benefits commonly explored include reduced stress/anxiety, improved mood, pain relief, and relaxation. I prioritized peer-reviewed sources like PubMed/PMC where possible.

Singing Bowl Sound Meditation / Sound Baths

• Effects of Singing Bowl Sound Meditation on Mood, Tension, and Well-Being: An Observational Study (Goldsby et al., 2017). 62 participants showed significant reductions in tension, anger, fatigue, depression, and anxiety, plus increased spiritual well-being after one session.Full text (PMC) | Journal link
• Sound Healing: Mood, Emotional, and Spiritual Well-Being Interrelationships (Goldsby et al., 2022). Observational study linking improvements in spiritual well-being to reductions in tension and depression post-sound healing, with age-related variations.Full text (MDPI)

• Therapeutic Effects of Singing Bowls: A Systematic Review of Clinical Studies (Cai et al., 2025). Review of 19 studies suggesting potential benefits for anxiety, depression, sleep, and cognition.PMC link
• The Human Health Effects of Singing Bowls: A Systematic Review (Stanhope et al., 2020). Reviewed four studies with some evidence for mental health and cardiovascular benefits.ScienceDirect link

Vibroacoustic / Low-Frequency Sound Therapy

• Studies on 40 Hz vibroacoustic therapy for fibromyalgia (pain reduction, improved quality of life) and Parkinson’s (motor function).Examples referenced in reviews: Frontiers in Psychology (HRV and stress) and others.
• Fibromyalgia low-frequency sound stimulation (e.g., 10 treatments over 5 weeks): Improved sleep and reduced pain.

Binaural Beats and Related

• Binaural Beats to Entrain the Brain? A Systematic Review (Ingendoh et al., 2023). Examines effects on brain oscillatory activity and implications for psychological interventions.PMC link
• Binaural Beat Technology in Humans: A Pilot Study (Wahbeh et al., 2007). Early assessment of psychologic and physiologic effects.PubMed
• Other mentions: Binaural beats linked to potential cognitive/motor speed improvements and relaxation in small studies.

Broader Reviews and Overviews

• Effects of Sound Interventions on the Mental Stress Response (Saskovets et al., 2024/2025). Scoping review on music, natural sounds, etc., for stress reduction (e.g., cortisol, HRV, blood pressure).PMC
• Eastern Integrative Medicine and Ancient Sound Healing Treatments for Stress (Goldsby et al., 2020). Discusses sound healing alongside other practices.PMC
• NCCIH summary on Music and Health (includes music therapy benefits for stress and other outcomes).NCCIH page

Notes: Many studies are small-scale or preliminary. Sound healing often overlaps with music therapy, which has broader evidence. Consult PubMed or Google Scholar for more, and speak with a healthcare provider before using as a treatment. For full texts, check PMC or institutional access.
