4-7-8 breathing audio (10 minutes, free MP3)

A soft rising tone for the 4-second breath in, quiet for the 7-second hold, and a falling tone for the 8-second breath out. No voice — just follow the sound with your eyes closed.

Made with code (no recordings, no AI voices). Free to use in videos, classrooms, waiting rooms and playlists with credit.

How to use it

  1. Breathe in through your nose while the tone rises (4 seconds).
  2. Hold gently while it is quiet (7 seconds).
  3. Breathe out slowly through your mouth while the tone falls (8 seconds).
  4. Stop and breathe normally if you feel light-headed.
