Close your eyes and step into the wild. 3D nature sounds, stunning photos, and immersive stories to relax, sleep, or focus.
Immerse yourself in the healing voices of the natural world! Be instantly transported into the great outdoors, where the tonic of wildness soothes the spirit and brings a relaxed sense of joy to your day.
Designed primarily for headphone listening, this app features over 110 spacious 3D binaural soundscapes, meticulously gathered by recording artist Lang Elliott in wild and remote places across North America and beyond. New immersive soundscapes are added every week. Audio quality is superb throughout.

Why Use Headphones?
These recordings were made using a special microphone that simulates the human head. To experience the remarkable 3D effect, it is best to listen with headphones, where the right ear hears only the right channel and the left ear hears only the left channel. While headphones provide the most immersive result, earbuds may also be used; however, they often emphasize treble and lack bass. To address this, the app includes a custom equalization setting specifically tuned for Apple EarPods and AirPods.
To experience nature’s magic in noisy environments, we highly recommend modern noise-cancelling headphones, which greatly reduce ambient noise. It is entirely possible to relax into pristine nature while riding a subway or flying on an airplane.
When listening through speakers in a conventional stereo setup, both ears hear both channels, creating “crosstalk” that weakens spatial cues. Placing speakers farther apart can improve spaciousness by allowing the head to naturally reduce crosstalk. While speaker listening can be enjoyable, headphones offer a far more immersive experience — one that truly transports the listener into wild nature.

Nature sounds are too often used in casual and incongruent ways in the now overly saturated domain of meditation and relaxation recordings. They are ultimately diminished in how they are overlayed and co-mingled with myriad other textural and musical elements according to the subjective “artistic” sensibilities of the producer/creator. Lang offers none of that. He simply shares wondrous moments of nature’s spontaneity and gives us the opportunity to practice true listening. As I have come to understand through my own experience of listening to what Lang has captured, and in reading his own views on his work, he is a rare individual who patiently assumes the role of a searcher. And through his own deep practice of active listening, he invites us into that same action, but with a more honest discernment of where our attention is actually situated. As a longtime backpacker who has been woken up countless times (during both day and night) to so many wonderful, spontaneous, and sometimes alarming collections of sounds, I appreciate that the particular nostalgia these recordings evoke in me is not connected to specific moments or memories, but to a basic nostalgia for what is real.
Helped my Migraine
Sierracool
I suffer from migraines that can put me into bed with a mask on and earplugs at times. I’ve given up on prescription migraine medicine because I’ve had so many of them over the years that I seem to have become resistant to them. I found Bluetooth sleep headphones online that come in the form of a head band which has small, flat speakers that you can actually sleep with even if you turn and lay on them. Last week I got a migraine, but there were things I needed to take care of so I took a Xanax, put on that headband and chose the rolling thunder sounds. I played it for a second hour. Suddenly I realized that my migraine was gone! I don’t think it was a fluke and I don’t know how it works, but it did, and that’s all I care about. Thank you for these beautiful sounds. I thought they might be synthesized until I read your story Thank you took so much for the time you spent recording in the wild.
Great sound, but minor issue
chegaro
I love these kind of apps, and own many of the best of them. The only issue that I have, is that after hearing one of the nature loops for a while, my ears will begin then to pick up the “seams” in the recording, meaning, that the files should be way bigger than they are, that is to say longer in duration, and as they are in the amazing hands down winner grandaddy of all environmental sound apps, ENVIRONMENTS. Here, I can completely tell when the loop begins anew, and then after a while of hearing it, it actually starts to bother me, as I have become accustomed to the repetition of what should be natural and seamless soundscapes, lasting much longer (so as to fool the ears and the brain) into believing one is actually present within nature, and not on a holodeck. The other issue is the sound quality, as once again ENVIRONMENTS wins hands down ... I don’t know what quality sound file, compression, they are using here, but it must be relatively small, for look at the size of the app (Environments, once again,is over half a gigabyte in comparison, and with less sounscapes, although theirs run nearly an hour each). Other than that, though, this is nice.
Looping issue
Tony&ChrisNM
Think this a great app. I paid the full price because I like the variety. However as another user stated, when doing a loop (especially with anything with water) you can actually hear when the loop restarts. I have multiple nature sound apps and some without this level of polish, can hide any loop effects. I’m really surprised that it’s very obvious on this app. It will remove you from being engrossed in the atmosphere because as soon as I hear the loop restart I automatically know what bird or other sound is about to happen. It really does take you out of just simply relaxing. Other issue is that sometimes I wish you wouldn’t hear all the insects and birds so much. So while they do have a “setting” to reduce the effect, it’s only a tiny difference. I can barely tell any difference on that setting vs the normal settings. Overall I think this is a great app, but when you can anticipate the next sounds because you hear it starting over, and the loops aren’t very long, it does take you out of simply relaxing. Hopefully a future update can better mask any loops.
