Popular brushing sounds
What is brushing ASMR?
Brushing ASMR uses makeup brushes, paint brushes and hairbrushes to create soft, sweeping sounds. Brushing directly on the mic gives a deep, fluffy whoosh. Brushing hair or fabric is lighter and more natural.
Mic brushing is usually recorded with binaural mics, so the brush can sweep from one ear to the other. Many artists use several brushes in one track, from big fluffy ones to small, stiff ones, so the texture slowly changes.
A good trigger for sleep
Because brushing is continuous and has no sharp edges, it suits sleep well. Pair it with whispering or keep it pure with no talking. If you like brushing, you may also enjoy makeup and haircut roleplays.
