## What is Soothing Sleep Sounds?

Fall asleep fast to 300 high-quality full-stereo recordings from around the world.

Sleep deeply every night, and wake up feeling fresh and energized.

Soothing Sleep Sounds provides a huge catalog of 300 high-quality, naturally recorded sounds. Much better than synthetic sounds and short repetitive loops, these are real-world sounds with all the richness, texture, and nuance of the natural environment.

And 125+ high-quality sounds can be downloaded for FREE, without a subscription!

Imagine falling asleep to soft rain in an Oregon coastal rainforest, waves on a pebble beach, South African crickets, a warm crackling campfire, or enchanting wind chimes.

Or … if you prefer the steady hum of 'white noise’, fall asleep to a steady blizzard, a flowing glacial stream, or pure white and pink noise.

You will fall asleep fast and wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

What's more, Soothing Sleep Sounds can be used anytime you need to block out the outside world:
• Increase your ability to focus and be creative at work by removing distractions.
• Soothe your baby or small children and create a peaceful sanctuary for you and your family.
• Transform your hotel room into a familiar sleep oasis by blocking out noisy neighbors, ice machines, and elevator doors.
• Create a calm and tranquil environment for meditation and yoga.

With 300 high-quality audio tracks to choose from, you can fine-tune a collection of sounds to your individual taste. 

And if that isn't enough, you can create your own personalized mixes for sleep, work, travel, nap time, or meditation, blending up to 6 sounds at a time.
