Snuggle under warm blankets as you listen to the sound of coniferous tree branches creaking in the wind, while the crackle of frozen wet snow creates a humming winter nightscape.

He travels the world recording remarkable locations that capture the essence of the place itself. His lifelong mission is to preserve nature through sound, and his soundscapes are produced with such care and quality that you feel as if he has truly brought a slice of the world into your home.

Great to Sleep By

A raging winter in Yellowstone gives the listener the feeling they're hiking in the park and have been beset upon by a mighty blizzard.

Peaceful Outdoors

I recommend this to anyone who loves and enjoys the peacefulness of the great outdoors. It brings you right back to those camping trips as a kid and the simplicity we long for in this day & age.
Love It!!

Wow!!!

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this exceeded everything that I had hoped it would be.

I used to have a sound machine when I was young. It played nature noises to lull me to sleep. I feel as though I’ve graduated from a children’s xylophone to a grand piano. The sounds are so rich and realistic, that I could imagine I was actually there if I closed me eyes.

I LOVED the sounds of the wind as they blew around me. I could imagine it blowing across the distance and through tree limbs coming up from behind and moving past me. The sounds of icy snow/sleet/rain were so soothing. I feel as though most snow scenes on YouTube play the same tired track of howling wind in a raging blizzard, whistling through a crack in the door. Winter is rarely like that in real life. Winter is much more quiet and peaceful. This audio track nailed it. This is exactly what winter sounds like. I’ll be listening to this to fall asleep from now on. Thank you so much!

Sound asleep every time 😇

Lovved it! The ultimate mature experience of peaceful bliss without the bugs❤ It's my goto..

My favorite to sleep to.

I love this. I have an excellent sounding sleep mask and I feel like I’m there.

Story?

I really appreciated the relaxing effect of Yellowstone. It actually made me look around for the source of certain sounds - I live in the country and the recording fooled me . Would absolutely recommend even tho I wasn't entirely sure of the "story" rating so had to go with full marks as the effect was great!

Excellent sleep help

The wind, snow, and creaking trees help put me to sleep faster than almost anything. It feels like being out in the park while in your own bed.

Very Soothing

I fell asleep before it ended! It usually takes me a while to fall asleep. It was very soothing and helped me tune out other noises that are distracting.

Love it ! Great

Love it ! Great calming, sleep inducing nature soumds, Wind, rain, occasonal vague animal calls. Actually feel that you are there!

sound of silence

I needed something to drown out sounds around me but didnt want something that would not wake me up once I went to sleep. i wanted the dound of silence but loud enough to block things out if that makes sense. and to me this is just that. I listened to another one that had cricket sounds and it just made me dream about how loud the crickets were.. this one I can turn up loud enough to block everything out and still be able to sleep.
