This site features high-quality audio recordings made in forests around the world! It's a nice calming sonic environment if you're not able to get out to a real forest at the moment. Today my ears have heard the sounds of forests in Germany, Ecuador, and Sweden. Looking forward to more!

(13,729 posts)Im an urban neighborhood thats blessed with several mature trees. Theres often plenty of mechanical noise from the usual urban sonic smorgasbord, but Sundays are generally calmer and quieter. Breakfast on the porch today was lovely, with birdcalls and the susurrus of trees (what an apt word!) predominating and providing a much-needed sense of deep calm.
