Wind sounds

Press play for wind that rises and falls in long gusts. In the full mixer you can switch to a gentle breeze, wind in the pines or a howling blizzard, and add rain.

The gusts drift slowly from ear to ear, so with headphones the wind feels as if it moves around you. The full mixer also has four real wind recordings: wind over a wheat field, a winter wind, gusts on a balcony and a desert windstorm.

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

Which wind is best for sleep?
“Gentle breeze” is the calmest. “Gusty wind” rises and falls more, and “Blizzard wind” howls.
Can I add rain?
Yes: move the rain slider up. Wind and rain together is the sound of a storm at sea.
Why does wind howl?
Moving air makes little sound on its own. The howl and whistle come from what it passes: as wind flows round wires, branches and the corners of buildings it sheds small swirls of air at a steady rate, and those make a tone. Stronger wind gives a higher note.
Is there a real wind recording?
Yes, four. Open the full mixer, tap the name under the wind slider and look under “Real recordings”.
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.
