Unlike canned nature sounds created in a studio, renowned acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton gives you the real deal. He travels the world recording remarkable locations that capture the essence of the place itself. His lifelong mission is to preserve nature through sound, and his soundscapes are produced with such care and quality that you feel as if he has truly brought a slice of the world into your home.

This is an Audible Original Podcast. Free for members. When you add Soundscapes from Audible Sleep to your library, you'll receive all previous episodes and will continue to receive new ones as they're released.

This perfectly made ambience accompanies me to bed every night. A perfect way to sooth you to sleep with the gentle build up at the start.

This sends me to sleep almost every night.

A lovely listen, negates my tinnitus as I drift off to sleep or easy background whilst I work. Reassuring rain, my favourite of the soundscapes.

Comfort listening
