I created this drone to help with humming exercises.
Research has found that humming has therapeutic qualities, particularly in alleviating long COVID symptoms. [1] As someone experiencing these symptoms, I decided to try humming, as it’s low effort and easy to incorporate into my daily routine.
However, I found it uncomfortable to hum in silence. To overcome this, I designed this drone to help me feel more at ease while humming.
The drone is in F#, the lowest note I can hum comfortably. For most people, this note might be too low, but you can try a higher F# or opt for C#.
While I haven’t seen a definitive impact on my long COVID symptoms, I’ve found an unexpected benefit: humming helps alleviate my joint pain, unrelated to long COVID. As someone working on a computer for 14 hours a day, I’ve had Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) for a long time, and I’ve noticed that humming reduces my joint pain.
I hope you find this drone helpful for your humming exercises or as a tool to improve focus.
