This page explains how content on Calm Sound Archive is produced, reviewed and corrected. It applies to every page on the site, including the 10,000 seed pages.
What we publish
Two kinds of pages live here. The first is editorial writing: guides, explanations and reference pages written by the editorial team. The second is the seed archive: one page per generated soundscape, describing the parameters of that specific track.
How seed pages are produced
Seed pages are generated from the same parameter set that drives the audio engine. The title, pillar, instrument, scale, tempo, tuning, filter ceiling and binaural offset shown on a seed page are the values the engine actually uses for that seed. They are not written by hand and they are not invented for search engines.
Because the audio is procedural, a seed page is a description of a real, reproducible piece of audio rather than a review of someone else’s recording. If a parameter changes, the page changes with it.
Editorial standards
We do not make medical or therapeutic claims. Audio on this site is presented as a tool for relaxation and routine, not as treatment for insomnia, anxiety or any other condition. Where we describe an effect, we describe what the sound does acoustically, not what it cures.
We do not accept payment for rankings, reviews or placements. There are no affiliate links in the seed archive. If that ever changes, the affected page will say so at the top, before the content.
Accuracy and corrections
Technical descriptions are checked against the audio engine. If a page states a filter value, tempo or tuning that does not match the engine, that is a bug and we want to know about it. Send the seed number and what you expected to see; corrections are applied to the page directly.
Editorial pages are reviewed when the underlying engine changes. The date on the page reflects the last substantive update, not a cosmetic edit.
Use of automation
Seed pages are generated programmatically, and we say so plainly rather than presenting them as hand-written articles. The audio itself is also generated in the browser. Editorial pages, including this one, are written and edited by the team.
