6 a.m. early morning on an alpine pasture in the Swiss mountains. I get up early and step outside. The only sound is birds singing – everything else is completely quiet. It feels like peace… Why can't humans achieve this? Field recording captured in the Swiss Alps, featuring natural birdsong and ambient mountain morning atmosphere with minimal wind.

A soundscape of at Kapiʻolani Regional Park on Oahu. Various sounds of birds, leafs rustling, and people walking by, cars driving by, and planes taking off. Taken around ~3m from the ground up in a tree. There is just a tiny bit of wind noise that pops up, but it can be fixed with EQ! This is my recording of nature's sounds, which I believe should be accessible to all and have therefore dedicated it to the public domain. I have marked it as Creative Commons 0.
