An ideal nature sound background track for meditation, massage, insomnia, yoga, travel, or working. The rainforest here just south of the Tropic of Capricorn is rich in dense vegetation and unique flora and fauna. Though the recording is mostly just the quiet and rhythmic sounds of the small night creatures of the rainforest, occasionally you can hear the sounds of some sort of larger mammal. Perhaps it is the famous Toucan bird landing on a branch nearby or a Sloth moving slowly along the forest floor? Both are plentiful where this soundscape was recorded so it could be. Or perhaps it is some other creature: Brazil's Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica) is called home by ~2,200 animal species – 5% of the vertebrates on Earth -- including nearly 200 bird species found nowhere else. The recording takes place a few meters from an idyllic little beach in the dead of night. It is the sort of beach where the shelter of the curving coast and distant islands create a steady, calming and regular wave action as they slowly roll into the bay and up the long shallow beachfront. True to form for this part of the world, you can even hear a little rainfall a couple of times towards the end of the recording. The ocean water in this part of the world is often a dark brown from all the silt washed out through the many streams and rivers that filter out into the sea and the moisture is so strong in the air that mist often hugs the tree tops as the hills plunge down to the many lagoons and beaches that dot the coast here. The quiet natural sounds of rainforest insects, birds and the steady wave action off in the distance make for a perfect bedtime background audio when going to sleep or when you would like something unobtrusive and calming during a meditation or massage session. Or even while writing or reading or looking out the window of a plane or vehicle and you would like some peaceful background sounds. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
