Water Stream & Birdsong Sounds - Nature Sounds - Forest - River (No Music)

The most calming sounds from nature available in HD and 4K UHD quality. Calm down your body and mind with the most soothing sounds of rain falling, the wind blowing, and birds singing their songs. The whoosh of wind through a stretch of forest, birds calling to one another as they land on branches, the gurgle of a brook over a rocky bed — these are the kinds of sounds that are not only calming, but could have profound health and well-being benefits, according to a research review in the April 2021 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. For the review, the researchers looked at 18 studies investigating the health benefits of natural sound; study participants listened to recordings of outdoor sounds in laboratory settings. Participants reported less stress and improved health outcomes, like decreased pain, after listening to recordings of nature sounds. Water sounds, such as that gurgling brook or a steady waterfall, tended to be the most effective at improving positive affect (the psychological term for a more positive outlook or disposition and the experience of joy and interest), while bird sounds were best for lowering stress. #nature #waterfall , #river , #water , #naturesounds , #relaxing , #birds ...
