About Shush Bean
Shush Bean makes gentle, long-playing sleep sounds for babies, and for the parents walking the hallway with them at night.
How we make our sounds
- Designed in-house. Every sound is generated and shaped by us, not taken from stock recordings.
- Softened highs. We gently filter out the sharp, hissy top end so the sound stays warm.
- Truly seamless. Each sound is built as a perfect loop, so there are no clicks, gaps or volume jumps across 10 hours.
- Even volume. All our sounds are mastered to a similar, moderate level.
- Dark screen. Videos fade to black after a minute so they do not light up the nursery.
Use sound gently
- Keep it low. Choose the lowest volume that still masks background noise. If you have to raise your voice to talk over it, it is too loud.
- Keep it far. Put the phone or speaker across the room, not in or next to the crib. Researchers who measured infant sleep machines advised keeping them more than 2 metres (about 6.5 feet) away.
- Keep sleep safe. Baby on their back, in their own crib or bassinet, with nothing else in it.
