Midlife Engineering is a sound therapy tool for the creatively restless. Craft ambient soundscapes to ease stress, sharpen focus, and spark creativity. It’s like therapy without the talking — boosting mood, brainpower, and well-being, no motorcycle required.
I bought a white noise machine to sleep! This is so much better!
Love the atmosphere that listening to this in the background creates. It's like brain.fm but less distracting.
Music can be therapeutic and this is proof. A labor of intentional story telling that touched me and many others I shared it with. I have been using it for weeks, while ruminating on organic sounds. It's also beautiful to play with and I love the influence by minimalistic industrial design.

Hey, Product Hunt! 👋
Ever feel like your brain is running an outdated operating system? Midlife Engineering is here to help — no software updates required.
🔊 What is it?
A playful, sound therapy tool that lets you craft ambient soundscapes to relieve stress, sharpen focus, and spark creativity. Think of it as yoga for your ears, minus the awkward stretching.
💡 Why try it?
- De-stress instantly – Ambient sounds lower cortisol, reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation.
- Sharpen your mind – Creating soundscapes enhances neuroplasticity, keeping your brain adaptable and engaged.
- Enter a flow state – Rhythmic audio patterns improve dopamine regulation, making focus easier.
- Sleep better – Low-frequency sounds slow brainwaves, helping you fall asleep faster.
✨ Backed by science
Studies show that ambient soundscapes improve cognitive function, reduce sensory overload, and enhance focus, especially for neurodivergent individuals. Whether you’re managing ADHD, anxiety, depression or just need to drown out distractions, sound therapy can work wonders.
Midlife (or any life) crisis? Try Midlife Engineering. It’s like therapy without the talking — and way cheaper than a motorcycle. 🚀

@mrblackstudio sounds amazing. Makes me really happy to see how much effort and solutions are emerging to help us with anxiety and depression; reasons to be tech-optimist. Congrats on the launch and best of luck distributing this! 🫡

For sure! Ambient music is great for hyper focus, especially when being creative or doing development work. Thanks for your positive words!

It's a terrific story you told with the site alone; resonates with me every scroll of the way.
A display of creativity with a proven utility case -- restoring one's self. One of the few gems out on the internet.

@ari_nakos Amazing you got the story part. It should feel fun, have humour and yes be relatable to the stresses we all share today — there's a reason why all time poor mental health rates are sky rocketing and we as creatives need to fight against a system that is both causing it and doing very little to combat it.
Appreciate your feedback. Peace :)

@edicook Great to hear Edie — being useful is already a great achievement. I hope it makes you feel good too.

It's things like this get me excited about the internet. I'm an audiophile. I like good design. I like when something takes me through a journey. This hits every.single.thing. I've had the noise playing in the background for an hour and played with the synth as my break time (so new sounds), then go back into focus mode.
Really well done @mrblackstudio - my ears, eyes, and soul thank you.
Midlife Engineering
@gabe Awesome words. Thank you :)
To me it sounds like the perfect tool for the creatively restless - Absolutely genius for people like me w/ a short attention span (just kidding it ain't that short :) )
Quite like the sound of mood-boosting audio designed to get me in the zone.
Could seriously be keen to curb my procrastination!!
