Below you can try the 5 steps therapy sounds audio players.
The sounds of the WeStopFear noise phobia therapy in the players below are pre-set at the right volume levels, from very low in Step 1 to the full volume in Step 5.
Setting the volume
In the beginning, you find the correct volume setting for the loudspeakers of your audio playback device by playing the piano tune below. The volume setting should be so that the piano music is at a good and clear listening level.
You will keep this same volume on a particular audio device that you use in a particular location, every time in all the steps, as well as in the ongoing Maintain Success stage that comes after the steps.
If there are markings or numbers that show the volume setting, then you write down the setting and thus you need to find the right volume setting on the audio device only once. You always set the device's loudspeakers to the same volume in a particular place. But on a portable audio device, other volume settings may be the right ones in other locations with different acoustics.
But if there is no scale, number or markings on the device, then you need to play the piano tune each time to set the volume correctly. But that is still simpler and easier then when you have no reference, and have little or no idea what the correct volume setting should be in each session.
Try playing the sounds
After you have set the volume, try playing the sounds in each step. You have five players below the Volume Anchor player, with samples of sounds in the five steps.
Do not do this when your animal is present. The volume in the higher steps could give it a shock, just like the actual sounds when they are heard suddenly.
Find the right volume setting
Below is the audio player with the piano tune.
The volume setting should be so that the piano music is at a good and clear listening level, not very low like soft dinner music at a restaurant, not extremely loud like a rock concert.
Choose And Play Sounds
After you have found the right volume setting on you audio device by playing the piano tune above, pay the sound samples of Step 1 below, and then of the subsequent steps 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Now you have tried the 5 Step therapy sounds audio players. Continue below:
Streaming, choose and custom
In the therapy member's pages, you have access to streaming audio players that plays the playlist in random order with just one button click, each sound once, and then stops.
You also have access to players to play individual sounds like below.
On those players, you can click a star next to the name of each sound, an by that you have selected that sound for your own custom playlist. The audio player will then play your playlist in random order, each sound once and then the it stops.
About the sounds and steps
The sounds are 10 seconds long samples from the sounds in the programs. In the therapy pages of the member's area, you will find a player that plays all the sounds in random order, and then other players where you can select specific sounds to play and select sounds to create your own custom playlist. In the real therapy, the duration of the sounds is often 1-3 minutes, with some sounds around 30 seconds, and others around 10 minutes.
In the actual system, you only get access to the Step 1 in the beginning, and then to Step 2, to Step 3 and 4, and finally to Step 5. The progression through the steps is based on how frequently the handler does this process, and how soon the pet(s) or horse(s) get used to the sounds, so you can continue to the next step.
There is a minimum of a certain number of days that you must spend within a step, but there is no upper limit as to how long each step may take. That is based on the individual characteristics and tolerance-build-up of each pet or horse. There is no competition. Each individual has their own time in that. Being faster is neither better, or worse, it is simply not an issue.
The piano tune is Prelude in C Major by Johan Sebastian Bach, recorded specially for WeStopFear by a professional pianist.
Great!

You can also check out the experimental video therapy, if you are interested in letting your pet or horse get used to the visible stimuli of fireworks or lightning along with the sounds.
