Rhythms are ever-present, though most beings in the cosmere cannot hear them.{{wob ref|3662}} Every rhythm changes, albeit in regular ways; a rhythm can be divided into movements, which are stable enough to measure time by.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}} They're tied to emotions; a person capable of hearing the rhythms will naturally attune to one matching their mood, or start feeling in a specific way by attuning to a specific mood.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} Some rhythms seem to be tied to other aspects of the world, however; the Rhythm of Winds, for example, can be used to predict [[highstorm]]s.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}}
It's unclear where precisely rhythms come from, or what makes them. They appear to be tied to planets, with each world having its own "songs".{{wob ref|13451}} [[Roshar]] seems to have particularly strong or powerful rhythms; a [[bronze]] [[Allomancer]] would be able to hear them there
Hearing the rhythms is tied to the phenomenon of [[Connection]]; whatever the precise nature of the rhythms, they can be Connected to, which is how any being is able to hear them. A creature capable of hearing the rhythms can pick up what another person's attuned to from just a few spoken words, which is something an unconnected person wouldn't be able to do, even though the rhythms can be written down as sheet music.{{wob ref|13451}}
