'white noise' sound files to reduce distraction?
duus | Mar 23 2007
Hello. I am looking for sound files of things like rain, water, etc, that can be played on ipod gapless and make a continuous relaxing background noise, to use in combination with my noise-reduction headphones. (Music works, of course, but that's distracting, too.) I've poked around on the web, but all my google searches have brought me to junky websites that are badly organized and trying to sell me overpriced sound-effect CDs for movies and stuff, which isn't really what I'm looking for. There must be some people out there who just recorded rain and put it on the web, yeah? Anyone? 14 Comments

...great suggestions...!Submitted by duus on March 26, 2007 - 10:32am.
Dr. J: thanks for the smart music rec, listened to it a bit on amazon, maybe i'll pick up a copy! jason.mcbrayer: i downloaded and installed boodler. Thanks for the rec! there's a bit of a learning curve. i like that it's command line so I can script soundscapes I particularly like, that's nice. i'll experiment with it some more. [Update: okay, not so much of a learning curve.] I grabbed the buddhamachine tracks at some point...i dunno, i don't like them so much, I don't know what it is, really. I noticed the repetition and it distracted me. great thread here folks! thanks! » POSTED IN:
