What’s in it
- Birds at 70: five different birds singing from different places, near and far.
- Rustling leaves at 60: a breeze moving through the branches.
- River at 45: water over stones.
- Wind at 18: a light breeze to tie it together.
Variations
Why it feels like morning
Natural sounds like these have been linked to faster recovery from stress than traffic noise 1. Birdsong is busiest at dawn, so we hear it as the sound of the day starting. Here the birds sit over steady layers: leaves and a stream that give the mix a floor, so the gaps between songs never fall into silence. Each bird is generated with its own song and place in the stereo field, so the chorus never repeats.
Good for
- Waking up gently, with the Pro alarm.
- Light work, reading and creative tasks during the day.
- A short break when you can’t get outside.
Wake up to it
With MoodNoise Pro, the alarm can fade this mix in at the time you set: a gentler start than a beeping phone. During the day it suits reading, light work and breaks. See forest sounds and relaxing sounds.

Questions
Can I use it as an alarm?
Yes, with Pro: choose Forest morning in the alarm and it fades in at your wake-up time. Keep the tab open and the device charging.
