Persistent sleeping disturbances can lead to fatigue, irritability, and various health issues. Numerous studies have examined the positive impact of music on sleep quality. As early as 2000 B.C., lullabies were designed to aid infant sleep. For adults with sleep-related disorders, music serves as a useful intervention in reducing stress.
However, oftentimes lower heart rates can be totally normal, and a well-trained athlete can have a normal heart rate in the 50s or as low as 40 without any cause for concern, he notes.
[6] [7] [note 1] Under ideal laboratory conditions, humans can hear sound as low as 12 Hz [8] and as high as 28 kHz, though the threshold increases sharply at 15 kHz in adults, corresponding to the last auditory channel of the cochlea. [9] The human auditory system is most sensitive to frequencies between 2,000 and 5,000 Hz. [10]
A medical monitoring device displaying a normal human heart rate. Heart rate is the frequency of the heartbeat measured by the number of contractions of the heart per minute (beats per minute, or bpm). The heart rate varies according to the body's physical needs, including the need to absorb oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide.

In healthy adults, there are two normal heart sounds, often described as a lub and a dub that occur in sequence with each heartbeat. These are the first heart sound (S 1) and second heart sound (S 2), produced by the closing of the atrioventricular valves and semilunar valves, respectively.
The ideal temperature for sleep is typically between 60°F and 67°F for most adults, says Martina Vendrame, M.D., neurologist and sleep medicine specialist at Lehigh Valley Health Network.
Noise-induced threshold shifts are seen as a notch on an audiogram from 3000 to 6000 Hz, but most often at 4000 Hz. [16] Exposure to loud noises, either in a single traumatic experience or over time, can damage the auditory system and result in hearing loss and sometimes tinnitus as well. Traumatic noise exposure can happen at work (e.g., loud ...
