No layering or looping effects were used in any way to enhance the storm. No music, no voices, no planes, no synthesizers, no bilk. The duality of both low and high frequencies facilitates listening as our ears tend to crave for one or the other after prolonged singular exposure to either for an extended period of time.Ī tirelessly shifting array of liquid awesome - this is the only MP3 that takes you right to the heart of the storm without getting your snugglebuns fried by lightning. The ecstatic flow of buoyant streaming water from the river has a more engaging, relaxing, random variation of natural white noise when compared to electronically processed white noise or white noise software. Swift multitudinous drops of rain continually plash and patter the river's smooth glassy levels, and they are heard making little dimples and bells and spray in an ebullient melody of constantly shifting crescendos. Subtle, sparsely scattered bird calls can be heard in the distance. The thunder has a low soothing growl rather than startling claps or crashes or booms, so any progress you make towards sleep or being one with the universe will not be thrown into abrupt discomposure. My Sound Devices 722 and Lunatec V2 mic preamp were both safe and sound in my watertight Pelican 1500 case but while they were sitting there basking in their warmth my 4060s had to take all the beating.Ī cataract of constant plummeting rain falls throughout the recording, forming a high exuberant counterpoint to the lower bass and sub-bass of delicate rolling thunder rumbling across the tops of clouds above the listener. ‘Twas in this befoggled morning dawn during a rainstorm that I recorded Rain on the River, right on the bank of the Deerfield River with my trusty pair of DPA 4060-BM omnidirectional condensor microphones mounted onto my GUY HRTF baffle. It was one of those mornings where the mist and wisps of fog had twisted and risen in the valleys, lingering like the last river spirits of the night, reluctant to admit that the break of dawn had already arrived. Encoded at a bitrate of 192 kbps for quality listening.Ĭompanion field recordings: Top of the Chasm, Devil's Poolĭuration: 63 minutes 57 seconds, Size: 87.8 MB. This recording technique produces a 3-dimensional audio portrait when listening with headphones. Victoria Falls is a natural white noise soundscape composed of a non-looped digital stereo quasi-binaural field recording. You will hear the sound of one hand clapping. Get yourself a pair of over-the-ear headphones with ample amounts of bass response, take a seat somewhere in a boisterous coffee shop or relax in a hotel room with adjacent noisy neighbours, and then play Victoria Falls. This MP3 is literally a bedroom for one's ears.

No music has been added.Įxtensive testing conducted through many years of travel has led me to conclude that Victoria Falls combined with the Sennheiser HD 380 PRO at 85% iPad volume provides seven times (7x) the sound attenuation of merely using foam and silicone earplugs alone. No sounds of people, birds, animals or planes are included. Victoria Falls features no fade-in or fade-out at the beginning or the end, so there are no distractions in sound volume when played on repeat. This recording and photo were taken at that time, from the eastern cataract at the Zambian side.

In March and April of 2009, record rainfalls in the watershed created an extra volume of water that had to be released over the falls around April 12th.

This claim is based on the fact that it plunges 108 meters (360 feet) over a width of 1,708 meters (5,600 feet) into a basalt lined gorge, forming the largest sheet of falling water ever to be discovered by man (and thus, the largest concentrated source of environmental brown noise).

While Victoria Falls is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, it is claimed to be the largest. It is a powerful, thundering, and expansive recording that relaxes the listener with a full-spectrum spacious sound, apt for masking both rumbling and high-pitched distractions. Victoria Falls is a natural source of “brown noise” (a lower-pitched and less irritable form of “true” white noise) that is ideal for sleep and masking unwanted background noises. Victoria Falls - the Seventh Wonder of the World the largest waterfall in the world. Duration: 66 minutes 48 seconds, Size: 91.7 MB.
