By Mauro Costa · Updated November 7, 2026 · Prices checked November 7, 2026 · How we review

The Memory Wave is a 12-minute digital audio sold for $39 through ClickBank under the Neural Revive name, with a 90-day refund window in its terms. The short answer: studies of 40 Hz gamma sound are small and mixed, none looked at this audio, and the sales page doesn’t say what frequency it uses or who made it.

What Is The Memory Wave and Why Is It Trending?

The Memory Wave is a single 12-minute audio session that you pay for once and listen to. The sales page at discovermemorywave.com calls it “a simple, at-home digital audio designed to naturally encourage Gamma brain activity” and says “Just 12 minutes a day may help you feel more focused, more alert, and more connected to the world around you.” It isn’t a supplement: there are no capsules, no ingredients and nothing to ship.

Why it keeps showing up: on November 5, 2026 it had a ClickBank gravity of 40.1, the 10th highest among the 183 health offers in our ClickBank marketplace snapshot. Gravity roughly reflects how many affiliates earned a commission from it recently, so it measures promotion, not results. That promotion is easy to see in search: most pages that rank for the product’s name are affiliate reviews, paid press releases and pages on free site builders.

What you get, per the sales page and the ClickBank order form: one digital audio, access once payment is approved, and a 90-day money-back guarantee. The page says the audio works “from any device” and is “yours to keep forever”, but it doesn’t say whether it is an MP3 download, an app or a members area. The footer carries a 2023 copyright line, and we couldn’t confirm a launch date. The sales page is a written page with images and no video, so we read everything it says.

The Memory Wave Reviews and Complaints: What Buyers Report

Real buyer feedback is thin. Trustpilot has no profile for discovermemorywave.com, the page our link goes to. The only review profile we found with reviews is Trustpilot’s page for memorywaveofficial.com, a second sales page for The Memory Wave with the same Neural Revive footer, the same $39 price and the same 90-day promise. Its order button goes to a different ClickBank account than ours, so it may be a separate listing of the same audio, but buyers searching the name land on both.

On November 7, 2026 Trustpilot showed a TrustScore of 2.1/5 for that profile, from 13 reviews, 84% of them 1-star, dated February 2025 to August 2026. Of the 12 reviews we could read, 7 mention the amount charged (some higher than the price buyers expected), 6 mention refunds that were slow, partial or still pending, and 5 describe support that was slow to answer or asked for extra documents. Three say the audio did nothing for them, and one positive review reports a benefit. Trustpilot notes that the company hasn’t invited its customers, so reviews may not be representative. Thirteen reviews are a small sample, but the charge and refund pattern is worth knowing before you buy: keep your ClickBank order number and check your statement.

The BBB has no business profile for Neural Revive or The Memory Wave. We searched consumerreports.org on November 7, 2026 and found no review of The Memory Wave. Web searches for complaints turned up promotional review pages and press releases, not buyer complaint records. We couldn’t search Reddit this time, because the site blocks the tools we use, and we didn’t watch YouTube reviews, so we have no count to report from either.

One more thing to know: the sales page says some visuals “may be dramatized or actor portrayals” and that “Study participants received a small stipend for participation”, without naming any study. We don’t reproduce any buyer or participant statements here.

Who Sells The Memory Wave? What We Could Verify

The Memory Wave is a real digital product sold through ClickBank’s checkout, with a 90-day refund window in its terms and ClickBank’s own support for refunds. Whether it works is a separate question: there’s no published study of this audio.

The company behind it is harder to pin down. The sales page footer reads “Copyright © 2023 Neural Revive.” The terms page, last updated July 27, 2025, is signed “© Memory Wave”, says the company “is based in Delaware” and still contains a template placeholder (“domain name”) where a website name should be. No page gives a street address for the company: the only address on the sales page is ClickBank’s office in Boise, Idaho, and the returns page lists a returns address for NeuroActivate in Tallmadge, Ohio, which the terms tie to the seller’s physical products. On a card statement the charge appears as CLKBANK*Memory Wave, per the ClickBank order form.

Our link goes to discovermemorywave.com. A second page, memorywaveofficial.com, sells the same-named audio at the same price under the same footer, through a different ClickBank account. In this session’s searches we also saw a fundraising page titled as a way to get the audio from the official website and many pages on sites.google.com about it: those are third-party pages, not the vendor’s domain.

Where to Buy The Memory Wave (Amazon, Walmart or the Official Site?)

The Memory Wave is sold on the vendor’s own page through ClickBank’s checkout. We found no listing of this audio on Amazon, Walmart or eBay in a web search limited to those sites on November 7, 2026. What that search showed were other gamma-wave and binaural-beat music tracks with similar words in their names, which are not this audio.

The ClickBank refund route covers orders placed through ClickBank’s checkout, so a copy bought anywhere else wouldn’t come with it. And if a page calls itself the official site but sits on a free site builder, a document host or a fundraising platform, it isn’t the vendor’s site.

How The Memory Wave Claims to Work

The sales page makes three linked claims. It says “Researchers have found that Gamma waves play a key role in supporting the brain’s natural cleaning process and healthy immune response.” It says “Our team of neuroscientists created a 12-minute sound session that gently guides the brain toward Gamma activity using safe, non-invasive sound frequencies.” And it presents the audio as “Based on modern brainwave research”, without naming a study or a neuroscientist.

Gamma waves are fast brain rhythms, roughly 30 to 100 cycles per second ^[1]. The idea behind products like this is entrainment: an outside rhythm, such as a sound pulsing at a set rate, is supposed to pull the brain’s electrical activity toward the same rate. Researchers usually use 40 Hz for gamma work. The Memory Wave’s page never says which frequency it uses, whether it relies on binaural beats (a slightly different tone in each ear) or a rhythmic pulse, or whether headphones are needed, so we can’t match it to a specific study.

On the “natural cleaning process” and “immune response” claim: that research is mostly in animals. A 2025 review explains that in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease, 40 Hz flickering light was linked to activated microglia (the brain’s immune cells), more blood vessels and faster glymphatic clearance (the brain’s waste-removal pathway), but that more recent mouse studies report contradictory findings ^[1]. A 2026 review describes the same animal work for light, sound and combined stimulation, notes that glymphatic activity is highest during sleep, and says further research is needed to confirm the approach in people ^[2]. None of the human studies we read measured brain cleaning after a short daily audio in healthy listeners.

The Memory Wave's Gamma Sound: What the Research Shows

No published study looks at The Memory Wave itself. What exists is research on 40 Hz sound, often paired with flickering light, and on binaural beats. Here is what the studies we read found, and in whom.

40 Hz sound in healthy adults

• In 74 healthy adults, sessions of rhythmic 40 Hz sound or mild 40 Hz electrical stimulation (tACS) improved working memory compared with control sessions, while long-term verbal recall didn’t change. The abstract doesn’t report the sound group separately ^[3].
• In a crossover study of 36 healthy adults, 40 Hz and 60 Hz sound did not improve verbal recall or working memory; 60 Hz only reduced recall errors called intrusions ^[4].
• In 28 adults aged 65 and over who listened daily for 28 days to popular songs modulated at 40 Hz through a smartphone and earphones, the sound was well tolerated and cognitive, mood and hearing scores didn’t worsen. This was a safety study with no comparison group, so it can’t show a benefit ^[5].

40 Hz stimulation in people with Alzheimer’s disease

The best-known line of 40 Hz research is in people with Alzheimer’s disease, mostly with devices that combine light and sound for about an hour a day. In the OVERTURE trial, MRI data from 38 participants who used daily 40 Hz light and sound for six months showed less white-matter shrinkage than in the comparison group ^[6]. A 2025 meta-analysis of eight randomized trials with 291 participants with Alzheimer’s disease found better scores on several cognitive tests with gamma stimulation, but it pooled electrical or magnetic brain stimulation with light and sound devices ^[7]. Those are different people, different devices and much longer daily sessions than a 12-minute audio, so they say little about how a healthy listener would respond.

Binaural beats

If The Memory Wave uses binaural beats (the page doesn’t say), the evidence is mixed. A 2019 meta-analysis of 22 studies found a medium overall effect (g = 0.45) across memory, attention, anxiety and pain, with longer listening linked to bigger effects ^[8]. A 2023 meta-analysis of 15 studies on memory and attention found a similar overall effect (g = 0.40) but conflicting results between studies, and called for better-designed research ^[9].

Put together: some small studies found short-term gains in working memory with 40 Hz stimulation, others found none, and the people, devices and session lengths differ from a 12-minute track. The “brain cleaning” research the sales page leans on comes mostly from mice.

The Memory Wave Side Effects and Who Should Skip It

An audio is a low-stakes thing to try for most people, but listeners in studies did report problems. In the 28-day study of 40 Hz music in adults aged 65 and over, 6 of 28 participants reported 12 adverse events, half of them judged device-related (ear discomfort, jaw pain, muscle stiffness), all mild or moderate ^[5]. In the study of 74 healthy adults, side effects were mostly comparable between real 40 Hz or 60 Hz stimulation and the control condition ^[3]. The sales page calls the sound frequencies “safe, non-invasive”, but it gives no volume or headphone guidance.

• Seizure disorders: if you have epilepsy or have ever had a seizure, ask your doctor before using any rhythmic sound or light stimulation.
• Hearing: keep the volume moderate, especially with earphones. If you have tinnitus or hearing loss, or wear hearing aids, check with your doctor or audiologist first.
• Driving: don’t listen while driving or doing anything that needs your full attention.
• Memory worries: new or worsening memory problems deserve a visit to a doctor, because they have many possible causes worth checking. An audio isn’t a substitute for that visit or for any prescribed treatment.
• Medication: sound doesn’t interact with medicines the way a supplement can, but don’t stop or change any medication because of how you feel after listening. Talk to your doctor first.

The Memory Wave Price and Money-Back Guarantee

The Memory Wave costs $39, one time. The sales page shows a single price with no regular price or savings claim beside it, and no bonuses. When we opened the ClickBank order form on November 7, 2026, it listed “The Memory Wave (100% Money Back Guarantee)” as a digital product, showed the total converted into our local currency with no tax added, and had no recurring charge or pre-checked add-on. After payment, sellers on ClickBank often show extra offers; we didn’t buy, so we can’t list them, and you can decline them.

The refund terms need a careful read. The sales page promises a 90-day money-back guarantee. The terms page says “For Digital Products, you may get a refund on any purchase requested within 90 days of your initial purchase”, and the ClickBank order form says ClickBank allows returns within 90 days from the date of purchase. The separate returns page, though, describes a 60-day window and rules about unopened bottles that read as written for the seller’s physical products, and the sales page itself asks buyers to keep their “original packaging”, which an audio download doesn’t have. For this audio, the 90-day terms are the ones that match the product; if you want a refund, ask well inside that window and keep your ClickBank order number.

Refunds go through ClickBank customer support (clkbank.com) or the seller’s support email; the returns page also lists a phone line, +1 251-501-2766, Monday to Friday, 9 to 5 Eastern. Nothing has to be shipped back.

Pros and Cons

Who Should (and Shouldn't) Consider The Memory Wave

It may suit you if you’re curious about 40 Hz sound, you’d like a short daily listening habit, and $39 is money you’re comfortable spending on an experiment you can refund within 90 days. Going in, know that the research on gamma sound in healthy adults is small and mixed, the “brain cleaning” research is mostly in mice, and nothing ties this particular audio to a result.

Skip it, or talk to a doctor first, if you have epilepsy or a history of seizures, if you’re dealing with new memory problems, or if you want a product with published results of its own. It’s also not a fit if you’d rather know exactly what you’re buying: the page doesn’t name the frequency, the method or the creator.

The Memory Wave vs. Alternatives

If you’re curious about the sound itself, other 40 Hz and binaural-beat recordings are sold or shared on music and video platforms; our site-limited search of Amazon showed several gamma-wave music tracks. We didn’t check any specific track, and no study we read compared one recording with another, so the same research caveats apply to them. Trying one first can tell you whether you even like listening to a 40 Hz sound before you spend $39.

If the “brain cleaning” angle is what draws you, the review we read on this research notes that the brain’s waste-removal pathway is most active during sleep ^[2], so a regular sleep schedule is a free place to start.

And if your memory is changing in ways that worry you, the best next step is a doctor’s appointment, not an audio.

Final Verdict: Is The Memory Wave Worth It?

The Memory Wave is a low-cost, one-time purchase with a 90-day refund window, and a 12-minute daily session is easy to fit in. The science behind the pitch is thinner than the sales page suggests: a few small studies found short-term working-memory gains with 40 Hz stimulation in healthy adults, others found none, the Alzheimer’s research used light-and-sound devices for an hour a day, and the “brain cleaning” findings come mostly from mice. The page also leaves out what the audio actually uses and who made it, and its refund pages don’t fully agree.

If you want to try it, treat it as a $39 experiment: note your purchase date, keep your ClickBank order number, listen for a few weeks, and decide well inside the 90 days. If you want something with published results of its own, this isn’t it, and memory changes that worry you are worth raising with a doctor.

The Memory Wave FAQ

Does The Memory Wave have side effects?

Side effects in studies of 40 Hz sound were uncommon and mild or moderate, but they did happen. In a 28-day study of 40 Hz music in adults aged 65 and over, 6 of 28 participants reported events such as ear discomfort and jaw pain ^[5]. Keep the volume moderate, don’t listen while driving, and ask your doctor first if you have epilepsy or hearing problems.

How does The Memory Wave money-back guarantee work?

You have 90 days from purchase to ask for a refund, per the terms page and the ClickBank order form. Contact ClickBank customer support at clkbank.com, or the seller’s support email, with your order number. There’s nothing to ship back. The returns page also describes a 60-day window for bottles, which reads as written for physical products, so ask early to be safe.

Is The Memory Wave a one-time payment or a subscription?

It’s a one-time payment of $39, per the sales page. The ClickBank order form we opened on November 7, 2026 showed no recurring charge and no pre-checked add-on. After payment, sellers on ClickBank often show extra offers; we didn’t buy, so we can’t list them, and you can decline them. Some Trustpilot reviews of a second Memory Wave page mention charges above $39, so check your statement.

Is The Memory Wave sold on Amazon or Walmart?

We found no listing of this audio on Amazon, Walmart or eBay in a site-limited web search on November 7, 2026. That search showed other gamma-wave music tracks with similar words in their names, which are not this audio. The Memory Wave is sold on the vendor’s own page through ClickBank’s checkout, and the ClickBank refund route only covers orders placed there.

Who makes or sells The Memory Wave?

The sales page footer names Neural Revive, and the terms page says the company behind Memory Wave is based in Delaware, without a street address. ClickBank processes the payment, and returns of physical products go to NeuroActivate in Tallmadge, Ohio. The page credits a team of neuroscientists but names no one, so we couldn’t confirm who made the audio.

Does The Memory Wave really work?

There’s no published study of The Memory Wave, so nobody can say for this audio. Research on 40 Hz sound in healthy adults is small and mixed: one study of 74 adults found better working memory with 40 Hz stimulation ^[3], while another of 36 adults found no memory change ^[4]. The brain-cleaning research the page mentions comes mostly from mice.

Has Consumer Reports reviewed The Memory Wave?

No. We searched consumerreports.org on November 7, 2026 and found no review or rating of The Memory Wave. The search returned only unrelated articles about detectors, pillows and phones. For buyer feedback, the only profile we found with reviews is on Trustpilot, which lists 13 reviews for memorywaveofficial.com, mostly 1-star, and showed a TrustScore of 2.1/5 on the day we checked.

Is The Memory Wave free to download?

The vendor doesn’t offer it for free: the sales page sells it for $39. We didn’t check free uploads on video or file-sharing sites, so we can’t say whether any of them is the same audio. A copy from an unofficial source wouldn’t come with the vendor’s 90-day refund, and the research caveats in this review apply to any 40 Hz track, free or paid.
