How to use Help Me Find My Sound

You know the test at the eye doctor: they flip a lens and ask, "Better with one… or two?" You do not need to know anything about eyes — you just say which looks clearer, and the right glasses come out at the end. Help Me Find My Sound is exactly that, for your ears. It plays two sounds, you say which one feels nicer, and after a handful of these questions it hands you your sound.

Before you start

Headphones help, but are not required.
Keep the volume low and comfortable. You are choosing which sound feels nicer — never which is louder.

How to do it

Open it. Tap Find My Sound in the top menu, then the big Help Me Find My Sound button (or the "Help Me Find My Sound" link under the big circle on the Sounds page), and press Start Experiment.
Listen to both. You will see two circles, A and B. Tap A to hear one, tap B to hear the other. Go back and forth as many times as you like — there is no clock and no score.
Say which feels nicer. Tap A, B, or No difference. "Nicer" simply means the one you could leave on and forget about — the one your ears relax into. If you honestly cannot tell, No difference is a perfectly good answer.

That is the whole skill. A soft green note tells you when a new round begins, and the same question comes back with a slightly different pair — about twelve times in all (you can choose 8 or 15 rounds in the settings). There are no wrong answers, and nothing about your hearing is being tested or measured. It only learns what you like.

What to do when it finishes

After the last round, the app shows you the sound you chose most often. Two things are worth doing right away:

Tap "See Your Moments." Your first choices in Help Me Find My Sound unlock Your Moments at the top of the Sounds page — one-tap buttons that build your personal quiet, sleep or focus sound. This is the real reward: from now on, your sound is always one tap away.
Save your sound if you like it. Give it a name and it appears under My Saved Sounds on the Sounds page.

The other buttons are extras for whenever you want them: Listen to Your Quiet plays your sound now, Fine-Tune Your Sound opens it in Sound Sculptor, and Start New Experiment runs the whole thing again. Adding a calm visual or building a 60-minute sleep session from your sound is done from My Sound Profile.

What the app remembers

Your choices build a simple picture of your taste — warmer or brighter, steady or moving, rain or ocean. The app quietly uses that picture everywhere: Your Moments, sleep suggestions, a recommended visual, and a gentle "Tuned to you" touch on whatever you play. It all stays on your device, and it gets a little smarter every time you use Help Me Find My Sound. You can see it any time under My Sound Profile in the Find My Sound section, alongside your Sound Response summary.

Good to know

Your taste can change with the time of day — running it again at night may find a softer sound than in the morning. Run it again whenever you feel like it.
If the two sounds start feeling the same near the end, that is a good sign: you have found your sound. Finish, save it, and enjoy it.
This tool explores what you find comfortable. It does not diagnose or treat anything.
