Birds for a room that feels too quiet
Some rooms are quiet enough that every small sound stands out, and a silent desk can be harder to settle into than a busy one. This mix puts spring birds out front, with a slower dove call and a light wind behind them, so something is going on without anything to follow. Birdsong is short, higher-pitched calls with gaps between them, so it will not cover a truck outside or bass coming through the floor; it fills a quiet room instead of hiding a loud one. Press play and it runs free in this browser, with no account and nothing to download. If you would rather have water in the scene, open Forest Stream Awakening.
How to make the birds less busy
Start the birds quieter than you think you need, and picture them outside the window. If single calls keep pulling your eyes off the page, drag Spring Birds down to about 35% and leave the wind where it is; the meadow stays open and the chorus moves further away. Raising the dove instead gives you a slower voice rather than a busier one. A phone speaker loses most of the wind, so use earbuds or a small speaker across the desk if the mix sounds thin. Save mix keeps your version in this browser, and the timer stops it after 15, 30 or 60 minutes.

Frequently asked questions
Is this mix calm or lively?
It's one of the livelier nature presets, because the spring birds lead and they are full of short, bright calls. Lower them and it settles down quickly.
Can I make it less busy?
Yes. Pull the spring birds down and leave the mellow wind where it is. That leaves more space between the calls.
Is there any white or brown noise in this mix?
No. All three sounds are recordings of birds, doves and wind, with no noise color mixed in.
