## Abstract

A sound treatment system includes an audio system for transmitting tones of predetermined frequencies through a plurality of outputs. A sound transmitting device is electrically connectable to one or more of the outputs, and includes a speaker for transmitting the tones received. The speaker is adjacent to crystal which is vibrationally responsive to the tones. A method of using the system includes generating tonal segments of predetermined duration, modulating the frequencies, and compiling these into an audio program. One or more sound transmitting devices are placed on desired locations of the body, and their inputs connected to corresponding outputs of the audio system. The generating step includes compiling selected predetermined frequencies into an audio program to generate the tonal segments, as well as modulating tones of one or more desired frequencies to generate the tonal segments.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A sound treatment system, comprising:
one or more applications running on at least one processor and communicatively coupled to an audio board, the one or more applications analyzing frequencies of an audio segment to identify a dominant frequency and a harmonic frequency of the audio segment, the one or more applications generating at least one tone at one or more of the dominant frequency, the harmonic frequency, a multiple of the dominant frequency, and a multiple of the harmonic frequency, the one or more applications combining the audio segment and the at least one tone into an audio signal and transmitting the audio signal to the audio board;
the audio board for transmitting the audio signal through a plurality of outputs;
a sound transmitting device electrically connected to an output of the plurality of outputs, wherein the sound transmitting device comprises a speaker or piezo transducer for transmitting the audio signal received from the audio board, the speaker or piezo transducer being adjacent to crystal which is vibrationally responsive to the audio signal;
attachment structure for attaching the sound transmitting device to a desired body location, such that the vibrating crystal is adapted to treat a pulse point at the desired body location; and
