Episode 398: Understanding Sound, Frequency & Coherence: What We Really Mean (and Why It Matters)

Words like frequency, vibration, resonance, and coherence are everywhere right now — but rarely explained in a clear, grounded way.

In this episode of the WBNL Podcast, Jan O’Brien and Matt Emerson slow the conversation down and break these concepts into simple, practical terms anyone can understand. This is not about hype or buzzwords — it’s about understanding how sound and energy already affect your nervous system, focus, and state of being every day.

You’ll learn what these terms actually mean, why coherence matters more than “high vibration,” and how sound, silence, and intentional input can support regulation, clarity, and presence in real life.

Today, we explore:

• What sound really is and how it affects the body
  
• The true meaning of frequency and hertz (Hz), explained simply
  
• What “vibration” actually refers to in daily experience
  
• How resonance works and why certain sounds calm or agitate us
  
• What coherence is — and why it’s the real goal
  
• The difference between coherence and common “high vibe” misconceptions
  
• How sound and silence support nervous system regulation
  
• Practical ways to use sound intentionally throughout the day
  
• Why discernment matters when choosing sound or frequency-based content
  
  

Key Takeaway:

The goal isn’t to chase a higher vibration — it’s to create greater coherence. When your internal systems are aligned, clarity improves, reactions soften, and you feel more present and grounded in your life and business.
