Have you ever listened to field recordings? It’s a genre of audio recordings that include nature sounds. Bandcamp has a wide selection, sounds like you’d be interested.
Comment on but like seriously do try it

NGL, in a pinch get a good nature sound app and pop in the earbuds and just crash out on the sofa and listen.
I have been using one called Naturespace for a decade and it’s glorious. Best track is called The Imaginarium. Whoa.

Oh, I’ll check that out! Part of why I like the Naturespace recordings so much is that many are straight field recordings. There used to be an iOS ap called Ambiance that had the ability to record and share one’s own soundscapes. there were thousands of files available to download through the app and it was maintained until Apple dropped the 32-bit downloads from the AppStore. I got the best ones I could and have it still on a handful of older devices. Got to crack it open at some time and excise the sound files as it’s only a matter of time before the devices get spicy pillows and fail.

What a great idea for an app.

I’ve been using a mix of nature sounds to help fall asleep for years. If I’m having a particularly rough night, I’ll play some repetitive calm music I’m super familiar with as well, EQ’d to just be barely audible through the nature sounds. ADHD brain uses all the extra energy that would be keeping me up spinning ideas around to tune one or the other of the “two” audios out and I’m out pretty quick.

I do the same but with real nature audioscape tracks people put on youtube. Creeks and blackbirds especially.

Gonna just let people know about MyNoise, tons of sound generators and most of the nature ones are made with field recordings.
