What a 40Hz binaural spread means
The 40Hz preset pairs 200Hz in the left ear with 240Hz in the right ear, the largest difference in this set. Use this as a stereo tone comparison. The two tones may not produce a distinct perceived binaural beat.

Compare left and right tones with a 40 Hz difference. Use stereo headphones.
How to audition 40Hz correctly
Use headphones so each ear receives its own tone. Hzvibe opens this preset with a 200Hz base frequency, but you can raise or lower that anchor after launch without losing the 40Hz offset.
Which delta to compare next
Compare 40Hz with 20Hz and 10Hz to hear how dramatically the spread changes. Keep the same headphones and volume so the contrast comes from the delta itself, not from other variables.

Questions
Do 40Hz binaural beats require headphones?
Yes. Binaural beats depend on each ear receiving a different tone, so headphones are required for the 40Hz effect to register as intended.
Why does Hzvibe start this preset at 200Hz?
Using the same 200Hz starting tone across presets lets you compare their frequency differences. You can change the base frequency and lower the volume to suit your listening preference.
Can I change the base tone after opening the 40Hz preset?
Yes. The preset loads with a 200Hz base for consistency, but the live generator lets you change the anchor while preserving the 40Hz spread.
