Rain and birds

Press play for light rain with real birds singing in a wet forest, recorded just after a shower with drops still falling from the trees. Raise the rain or the birds with their sliders.

The birds are real recordings, not sounds made in the browser. The full mixer has five, under the leaves sound: birds after rain, birdsong with dripping leaves, two dawn choruses and a forest full of birdsong. They are set quieter than the rain so the birds sit underneath it; raise the birds slider to bring them forward.

What you're hearing

Most sounds here are generated live in your browser, so nothing long downloads before it plays. The full mixer adds more sounds, other versions of each, and real recordings.

Questions

Are the birds real?
Yes. All five birdsong tracks are real field recordings, published free of copyright. The recordists are named on the sound credits page.
What is a dawn chorus?
It is the burst of birdsong at the start of the day. In temperate countries it is loudest in spring, when birds sing to hold a territory or attract a mate. Choose “Dawn chorus” or “Dawn chorus by a lake” in the full mixer. Source: Wikipedia: Dawn chorus (birds).
Can I have birds without rain?
Yes. Move the rain slider to zero, or choose “Forest birdsong” in the full mixer, which is birds only.
Birds or plain rain for sleep?
Birdsong changes from moment to moment, while rain stays even. If you want something steady and unchanging, try the gentle rain or rain for sleeping pages.
Is it free?
Yes, for now everything is free, the real recordings included. There is nothing to sign up for, nothing to install and no ads. Later some real recordings may move to a paid option; the sounds made in your browser will stay free.
