Deliberate White noise in Meditation Program Audio

Geetings,

I'm a Development Professional by career with a passion for Meditation and Yoga, I've created a Guided meditation program. However, I'm concerned about a potential issue.

I understand that Udemy often rejects audio with background noise. My meditation audio intentionally includes white noise, which is integral to the course. I'm wondering:

1. Is there a high likelihood of rejection due to this intentional background noise?

2. If rejected, could this negatively impact my future standings on the platform?

3. Is there a way to contact Udemy for special consideration, given that the background noise is an essential element of the course?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Why not upload without white noise? Once the course is approved, take it down and replace with white noise meditation.

    Hi @Greenback
    ,

    Thank you for your post!

    I understand your concerns about white noise and our Quality Review Process. While there's a possibility that our team may reject a course due to background white noise, you can resubmit the course with a comment to explain the reason behind it. Additionally, feel free to contact our policy team at policy@udemy.com beforehand to ensure you're following the best practices.

    P.S. White noise is truly a gem, especially for sleeping and meditation. (I know that 99.99% of our instructors hate it -which is quite understandable- when recording their videos..)
