The Story Behind Still Hum
Still Hum was born from a simple frustration: when we started researching singing bowls, we found plenty of mystical claims but almost no hard data. What frequency does a 10-inch Tibetan bronze bowl actually produce? How does the tin-to-copper ratio affect sustain time? What size bowl pairs best with a specific meditation practice?
The answers were scattered across academic papers, artisan workshops, and niche forums — nowhere in one place, and never in plain language.
What We Do
We bridge the gap between ancient craft and modern measurement. Our team tests singing bowls with calibrated frequency analyzers, documents material compositions, and translates complex acoustic data into practical buying guidance.
Every article on Still Hum follows a simple rule: if we cannot measure it, cite it, or demonstrate it, we do not publish it.
Our Coverage
While singing bowls are our foundation, we also cover grounding products (earthing sheets, mats, and accessories) and the broader science of sound healing — always with the same data-first approach.
Independence
Still Hum is independently operated. We are not owned by any manufacturer or retailer. When we recommend a product, it is because our testing supports it — not because someone paid us to say so. We do participate in affiliate programs, which help fund our research at no cost to you.
