Ambient sounds

I want to write, but I just can't hear Their Voices.

On reddit today, writers and students shared their favorite websites for producing ambient sounds. Here are some of my favorites:

i am listening to your crickets. it's nice. much nicer than when i had actual crickets living behind my dishwasher - that drove me insane. i think the water helps, lol.

The difference is that these came with a volume control! lol

They can be hellishly loud up close, can't they?

[kittylefish]

yes, hellishly loud! i was completely unable to write a single word after a certain point. i finally had to break down and have the landlord call an exterminator, since imploring them to leave had no effect whatsoever, and it was a long, hot summer. i felt bad about it, but it was them or my sanity by that point.

What a great idea! I'm snatching some of these links, if you don't mind - thanks so much. :D

That's what I put them here for!

Thanks for these! Like kittylefish, I like your crickets too, as opposed to when I get an actual invasion of them - If only they came with a volume control like these did! That goes for cicadas and frogs too - love the sound from a distance, but if you're too up close and personal to them, they can be worse than tinitus.

Is it just me, or does rain also sound like bacon frying?

[stgulik]

It does, you're right. I think it's a glitch in the Matrix!
