Wellbeing Through Sound Awareness
Sound is vibration and we often feel sound in the body, as well as hear sound through our ears.
Sound is experienced in a different way by each of us.
What mood you’re in on a particular day or what is personally happening for you in life may influence your experience of a sound.
Sound Sensory Challenges
Some sound may also be relaxing to listen to, while others are uncomfortable. One single sound may be traumatic depending on your previous experience with that type of sound.
Sound sensitivity is a very common challenge and the experience of sound very much contributes to mental and emotional wellbeing.
Listening to sound may inspire the other senses, such as vision, touch, taste and smell.  Some individuals see sound as colour, words and numbers – this is called ’Synesthesia’.
Becoming aware of how sound affects you can help you navigate the sounds around you, which is more beneficial for mental health.
One person’s sound is another person’s noise
Sound is experienced in a different way by each individual.
What mood you’re in on a particular day or personal life events may influence your experience of a sound from one moment to the next.
Using Sound for Wellbeing
The use of sound in a wellbeing context is becoming increasingly valued, particularly for improving student wellbeing in schools through sessions or reducing sound sensitivity challenges in the classroom. There are a range of ways to explore sound for wellbeing in the classroom, such as relaxation sessions or using sound to support focus and calm.
We provide training and resources to educators on how to use sound effectively to support wellbeing in the classroom.
