The soft, low hum is not noise — it is designed for the womb.

Listening together? Set it for the youngest person.

What this choice changes

Nothing is cut off the top; the whole band goes out as recorded. Consonants and clarity sit in the middle, and the 14–19kHz tones are included (a band most adults no longer hear). The court music sits 18dB under the narration.

AgeCeilingConsonantsClarityCourt music
Unborn baby (prenatal)10kHzoff0-14dB
Under 512kHzon10-16dB
Kids & students (6–19)16kHzon30-18dB
Adults (20–39)no cuton50-18dB
Midlife (40–64)no cuton60-19dB
Seniors (65+)no cuton70-21dB

That balance applies only under the narration. The 30-second intro and the court music behind the credits and review keep their own level.

Bands a baby should not hear are removed on the server.

Three jeongak pieces — tap to listen

These are what plays for five minutes after each story ends — geomungo, gayageum, daegeum. The piece you pick loops on its own.
