Ran across a song with “741 Hz” in the title and there’s a whole Spotify playlist of similar songs (“a soothing solfeggio frequency that is used by many to let go of negativity and toxic energy”) and ngl they are relaxing.

For those that don't use Spotify, I quit them a good while back and use Apple Music. When lists like this come out, I use a free app Song Shift, that will transfer playlists (songs and albums too) from one platform to another. Paid gets you faster transfers, but free has been fine for my once-in-a-while transfers. You do have to have an account with each music service; my Spotify is a free account and transferring playlists has never been a problem.
SongShift is amazing! Thank you!
There are 741 Hz videos on YouTube as well.

The overarching category is called "binaural beats". Supposedly different ranges have different impacts. I like them as white noise over the typical waves/rain/etc. sound machine standards, but there's no peer reviewed research on binaural beats as a therapy option.
