Taptanium™ certified nature audio means that you hear only crystal clear nature sounds with absolutely zero human made noise intrusions. No people, no airplanes, no cars. Just nature. Infinite playback. Taptanium™ certified nature audio comes from the best sources such as Hawaii and has been mastered to perfection with the highest attainable level of attention to detail, utilizing artificial intelligence to detect even the most distant human-made noise intrusions that humans are capable of recognizing only after hundreds of hours of listening.

If you put on headphones, Flowing 2 can create an incredible sense of immersion. The nature and water plays all around you, not just on your ears.
