JAKARTA - For people who love discovering new sounds, there's an exciting new site that collects a landscape of sounds from around the world.
The site, Earth.fm, calls itself "Like Spotify, but for natural soundscapes." On this site you can listen to the sounds of bird species in Malaysia or India or the sounds of the jungle in Ghana.
The sound is gathered from many contributors who have experience recording sounds in nature in places including Brazil, Spain, Norway, New Zealand, and the UK. This website features sounds from locations such as national parks and the everglades.
Users can create their own custom sound playlists available on Earth.fm, moving from Brazil to Egypt in minutes. Even users can compile a list of various soundscapes from the website
The website also notes studies on its “About Us” page that show the benefits of soundscapes on a person's well-being, including the positive effects of water sounds and bird sounds for stress.
The site also serves as a kind of conservation tool, noting that “soundscapes are getting rarer as we humans continue to destroy the natural ecosystems that produce them.”
Apart from listening to each of the soundtracks, users will also be introduced to environmental non-profit organizations such as some dedicated to tree planting and nature restoration.
Earth.fm adds a new sound every three days for a new experience. If the user is looking for a zen moment, this is a great reminder that there is a beautiful and noisy world out there.
