Bayou Swamp at Night

A bayou swamp at night with frogs, crickets, mosquitoes, the odd soft alligator growl and creaking huts on the water, for three hours.

About this soundscape

Three hours of a swamp after dark, full of frogs, crickets and mosquitoes, with the occasional soft growl of an alligator. Makeshift dwellings built on the water creak as they shift on the surface.

It's a busy, living sort of quiet, which some people find easier to sleep to than silence. The sounds rise and fall without any sharp edges, so it also works as background for reading or resting. Keep it at a gentle volume and let it play.

How to listen

Speakers are fineNatural sound needs no headphones. A speaker by the bed fills the room more gently.
Keep it lowJust loud enough to cover traffic, neighbours or a snoring partner.
Let it run all nightA steady sound that doesn't stop is easier to sleep through than one that ends and wakes you.
