So I've experimented a bit lately with natural background noise apps (sounds of wind, rain, rustling leaves, etc) and found it really great especially living near to a railroad track 😂. I noticed however, that some of these tracks weren't that high quality, had obvious looping transitions and even had a little noise pollution in them.

I stumbled upon this guy Gordon Hempton ( www.soundtracker.com ) and found tons of high quality hour long tracks on Google music.
He records in remote places with ZERO noise pollution. He also uses a kind of human head with ear holes with microphones in them that records exactly like humans hear (think of how sound is different when it's behind you vs in front of you)

Anyway, great stuff this guy has.

I chewed 2g of dried leave listening to "Dunes" which starts off with night sounds of crickets and such, then seamlessly transitions the ocean crashing for about an hour. It made incredible background noise to be entranced by and was especially incredible to come back to the deep rumbling of waves breaking in the distance.

I've bought some noise-cancelling Bose headphones and am stoked to continue experimenting with these different tracks.

I wish these were offered in .wav files. I may ask and see...

This is a great thread starter, thanks for the introduction, definitely paying attention to this. Awesome soundscapes, too! Especially the cricket thunder and one square inch of silence, really enjoyed those two. I'll have to research moar of Gordon Hempton and experiment with these in time. Salvia in nature have been incredible experiences.
