How it works

Locoustic has exactly one job: to give you a sound environment you can work in. To do that, it leaves out everything that could distract you – including in how you use it.

1. Press play

That’s all you need to do. Locoustic plays an endless, shuffled sequence of tracks. No track plays twice in a row, and the transitions are softly crossfaded. There are no playlists, no genres and no recommendations – and so nothing you have to think about.

2. How the music is built

The tracks are composed to be functional: they’re meant to carry you, not to entertain you.

• No vocals. Words pull attention – even when you’re trying to read or write.
• Steady dynamics. No sudden jumps in volume, no drops, no surprises.
• Calm structure. Recurring patterns and a steady pulse instead of big dramatic arcs.
• Matched loudness. Every track is brought to the same loudness level so none of them stands out.

The tracks are created with the help of AI (Suno AI). Each one is checked and curated individually before it joins the programme.

3. Ambient layers when you need them

You can add three layers of sound – on their own, combined or without any music:

• Rain – a soft, even rustle with a natural texture.
• Waves – slowly swelling and receding, with a calm rhythm.
• Brown noise – deep, dark noise. It’s particularly good at masking background sounds such as voices or traffic.

The layers loop seamlessly, without an audible cut.

4. One dial

You control the volume with a single dial, for music and layers together. Your browser remembers the setting for your next visit.

What Locoustic deliberately leaves out

• No registration and no account
• No ads and no tracking
• No choices, no settings menus, no gamification
• No healing claims: Locoustic is a tool for your working day, not a medical device.

Tips to get started

• Headphones help you shut out your surroundings. Closed-back models block more noise, open-back ones feel less isolating.
• Quieter is often better. Set the volume so the music just about carries you. It’s meant to stay in the background.
• One layer is usually enough. Start with the music and add brown noise when things get loud around you.
