Listening Tips
Lessons from years of making nature sound apps.
Quieter is better
With noise cancelling, nature sounds mask the world at a much lower volume. That’s gentler on your ears, especially over a whole night.
Side sleepers: go small
Over-ear headphones press against the pillow. Small sleep earbuds with the smallest comfortable ear tip, or a soft sleep headband, are far more restful.
Comfort beats Hi-Res
For nature and sleep sounds, comfort, a good seal and steady noise cancelling matter more than lossless codecs.
