What Does a Labor Simulator Contraction Sound Like?

Labor Simulator uses a unique sound to represent a contraction. The sound was designed specifically to be unpleasant. Why? Because a soothing, pleasant sound would be too easy to relax to and would not require the use of coping techniques. The jarring, non-rhythmic quality of the contraction sound helps your class participants to practice relaxing at a time when they would instinctively tense up.

To hear the contraction sound, make sure you have speakers or headphones connected to your computer, then click play and wait a few seconds for the contraction to build.
