In nature, there is sound even in the stillness. 

Midwest summer nights are beloved for the warmth isn’t around enough in Michigan. There is something special in the sound of these balmy nights. 

The sounds in this episode are simple:

Insects and animals that only come out at night.

The air you can sense even though it’s still.

And perhaps the humming of your neighbor’s air conditioning unit.

Listen as it all fades into the background, soothing in the quiet. 

And for those interested, this audio was captured using a Sennheiser mkh-416 shotgun mic and a Sound Devices MixPre-6 digital recorder.

These are Outdoor Sounds.
