NatureSoundsFor.me

I don’t know about you but I find repetitive noises really help me concentrate, especially if I’m sitting in a busy, noisy office. I want to just pop on some headphones and drown out the chit chat with something that isn’t going to distract me from my work. That’s the idea behind naturesoundsfor.me,which lets you build your own 4-track mix from a selection of soothing nature sounds. Pick from categories like nature, birds, mammals and other animals. There’s even household sounds and some interesting oddities under ‘various’ – like the sound of children giggling, a boat rowing and bizarrely the sound of Darth Vadar. There is an iPhone app too; it will cost you £1.49 and be careful with your data consumption if you’re streaming soundscapes on a mobile network. You can even download the track you make to keep. Be warned though, this could actually have a negative impact on your productivity as you waste the entire day crafting new combinations of sounds.
