Nature's sounds have a special way of connecting us to the world around us.

In today's society driven by technology, where many of us spend our days transfixed by screens, listening to the sounds of rain, waves thunder or birdsong can take us to a simpler time—a time when life moved at a slower pace and we were more in tune with the natural world. It's like hitting the stop button on the hustle and bustle of modern life and tuning in to the gentle tones of Mother Nature.


But the benefits of listening to nature's sounds go beyond just feeling relaxed. Studies have shown that listening to natural sounds can have a positive impact on both our physical and mental health. For example, listening to recordings of rain or ocean waves can help lower our heart rate and reduce feelings of stress and tension. It's like giving our minds a short holiday - a chance to escape from the worries of the world and find peace in the here and now.


Yellowstone National Park:


Stream in Yellowstone National Park

In 2014, we were lucky enough to spend time in the Yellowstone National Park. Not far from our accommodation, that was situated in a wooded area there was a stream and gentle waterfall. The situation was so peaceful and magical, we just sat there listening and watching. I took out my camera to video the sight and sounds; to capture it for the future. When we got home we played the recording and sound of the stream was amazing, so we embedded this in one of our Sounds of Nature recordings for you to enjoy.


The benefits of listening to the sounds of nature, are particularly important for those who may not have easy access to the outside world. They could be living in an overcrowded city or maybe facing mobility challenges that limit their ability to be outside, many people find themselves feeling cut off from nature. For these people, listening to recordings of nature's sounds can provide a much-needed sense of connection and belonging. It's like bringing the outdoors into their homes and hearts, no matter where they may be.


During Covid when we were stuck at home:

As the world struggled with the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us found ourselves forced to spend more time indoors, longing for the sights and sounds of the natural world.
