Should add speed adjustments
I love reading about the field recording and Teibal’s techniques/influence, but would be great to be able to adjust the speed as he intended with the original LPs.great.waves
I knew Irv Teibel!
Many long years ago in Austin, a magazine sent me to do an article on Irv Teibel and his recordings. He was a fascinating, delightful gentleman, very generous of time and spirit, and we stayed in touch for years. I still have the albums he gave me, and his thunderstorms have always been my favorite companions when I need to concentrate or rest. I’m thrilled to find his recordings have become so very easily accessible in app form, and that Irv’s memory lives on in them! ❤️Show less909Carol909
Amazing!

Waited 20 Years For This App!!!
I’ve been a fan of Syntonic Research and Irv Teibel since my introduction to these Environments recordings in the early 1980’s. These recordings are the standard all other environmental recordings are measured against. At $2.99 for all 22 recordings, this is an absolute steal! Cheaper than one cassette in the 1980’s! Everyone needs this App!!!Show lessSavin'The World
Fabulous for Business Travel
When I use this app, I stop hearing all the hotel noise. It also helps me relax by visualizing the beach or the thunderstorm and that slips into my dreaming about the beach or vacation thunderstorms.
The longer lengths are great. You can set it to loop indefinitely.Neefer Duir
Highly recommended!
I love this app! Listening to the soothing, calming sounds of ocean waves from the ultimate seashore is the perfect way to get a good night’s sleep.Jokubas M.
Fantastic presentation of these fantastic recordings
I gotta hand it to the Numero Group, this app is great. When acquiring the Environments series, rather than doing a CD/Vinyl/Download reissue like their other releases, they had the thought to update for the 21st century and make an app.
22 long form, stereo analogue audio recordings of nature await you here. Is this fewer than other white noise apps? Yes, but what those lack is length, and quality. Also included here is a brief history of Irv Teibel, and the Environments series, which is nice (but if you’re looking for more, check out the Atlas Obscura article. Turns out the Environments series was one of the first audio recordings to be edited on a computer. A big analogue mainframe one, but a computer none the less).
I have two small nitpicks:
The audio mix on the recordings is a little hot. As I write this I’m listening to “A Country Stream”, and have my volume at roughly 15%, and it’s still really loud.
A recent update adds front and back LP cover art scans, which is fantastic, but sadly there’s no way to make the pictures larger to read the original write ups for each recording.
But really that’s it. It’s a phenomenal app.Show lessCaptian Awesome
Good app/needs a tweak
I love the app, so does everyone that learns about it. But it badly needs two fixes:
1. The infinite loop button doesn’t work
2. Every time a text or phone call come in, the track does not come back on once the notification is finished. I need to manually go to my device and press play againMisterblacbird
I Normally Don’t Do This
Rarely do I review anything. However this app is an exception. A lovely idea flawlessly executed! Do yourself a huge favor and get it.JohnAmes
Simply Wonderful
My entire family uses his app — including my wife and outer two boys.
Forget about what people are saying about “noise.” These are analog recordings and that’s unavoidable.
But to listen to ACTUAL sounds from our world, from over 40 years ago is amazing and VERY meditative.
HIGHLY RECCOMMEND!Babbo11
