The lab
The writers
Every article here carries a byline. These are the people who write them — each listening from a different bench in the same lab.
- Ingrid Sato Acoustics engineer. Can hear a refrigerator hum from two rooms away.
- Leo Marchand Field recordist. Owns more microphones than shoes.
- Priya Venkatesan Neuroscience writer. Gentle with the hype, strict with the citations.
- Hannes Brekke Sound designer for meditation apps. Knows where the loop point is.
- Carmen Iglesias Yoga nidra teacher. Professionally horizontal since 2016.
- Theo Akintola New father. Discovered white noise the hard way, at 3 a.m.
- Mira Kovalenko Composer. Writes music you're supposed to sleep through.
