Are you tired of generic white noise apps? At Conservation Mag, we believe the sounds of the real world—the untouched wild—are the most powerful tools for boosting focus, reducing stress, and encouraging deep sleep.

That's why we're thrilled to announce the launch of Wild Earth Sounds, a free, interactive web app that maps 73 unique and authentic nature soundscapes from across the globe.

It's not just background noise; it's a virtual trip to the world's most vital conservation hot-spots, designed to help you work from the wild. Our map uses two colours: Calming Blue for ambient cover, and Wild Gold for unique wildlife education.

Why You Need Real Nature Sounds for Deep Work

The science behind ambient sound is clear: constant, unpredictable urban noise is distracting, but rhythmic, organic noise (known as Pink Noise or Green Noise) can mask distracting sounds and trigger a state of relaxation.

Our map provides sounds recorded by professional field recordists, not digital synthesisers. This means every track, from the gentle stream to the distant bird call, carries the subtle complexity of a real ecosystem.

Explore the Map: 3D Audio and Biomes

We've curated a growing number distinct locations to provide a full range of sonic textures for every mood:

1. The Low-Frequency Hum (For Anxiety and Sleep)

Looking for deep, rhythmic sounds that block out chatter? Our map features low-frequency wonders perfect for meditation or deep concentration.

• Antarctica (Adélie Land): Hear the ancient sounds of an emperor penguin colony mixed with the low groan of ice shelf cracking. This unique sound is unparalleled for pure focus.

• Arctic Whales (Norway): Experience 3D spatial audio (best with headphones!) from Skjervøy, where the haunting songs of Humpback Whales and Orcas echo below the surface. This is true sonic immersion.

2. The Mid-Range Rhythm (For Focus and Study)

These are sounds that create a rhythmic structure without being distracting—perfect for a work session.

• China Rice Terraces: The rhythmic chorus of insects and frogs amid the terraced fields. This natural, pulsating sound provides excellent ambient cover for distraction.

• Tronçais Forest (France): A simple, light rain and the sound of a blackbird. The classic, calming forest soundscape that helps block sudden noises.

• Grand Canyon Stream: The sound of a stream flowing over rocks deep in the canyon, providing a constant, low-volume flow that never gets jarring.

3. The High-Fidelity Wilderness (For Energy and Alertness)

These are the busy, rich environments—ideal for active listening or a morning energy boost.

• Yellowstone (Lamar Valley): The deep grunts of a bison herd mixed with alpine wind.

• Namib Desert Geckos: The unusual, high-pitched "barking" of geckos at sunset—a signature sound of the world's oldest desert.

• Amazonia Night: Crickets, frogs, and the lapping of the river from the Venezuelan rainforest.

Your Free Conservation Tool

Unlike commercial ambient sound apps, Wild Earth Sounds is completely free to use, and always will be. It’s part of our mission to connect you with the wild places we fight to protect.

The sounds also act as educational pins: click on the bubble for the Marlborough Sounds and hear the unique calls of the Bell-bird and Tūī—you’ll be listening to endemic species found only in New Zealand.

The Full Inventory: 73 Soundscapes to Explore

We've categorised all 73 recordings into two distinct listening categories to help you find the perfect sound for your task.

Table 1: Ambient Soundscapes (Calming Blue Pin)

These tracks are dominated by rhythmic, predictable noises—rain, water flow, fire, and choruses of small animals. Ideal for background noise masking, focus, and sleep.

Table 2: Wildlife and Educational Sounds (Wild Gold Pin)

These tracks feature specific, non-ambient sounds or unique geological/climatological events. Ideal for active listening, conservation education, and curiosity.
