BirdsNest is an iPad-instrument recalling the forest sounds of a Northern Swedish summer. Tap and slide to make music with birdcalls, percussion sounds, and field recordings and have fun with the built in “auto play” and looping features. The app features a sequence of four soundscapes that let you explore a sonic journey from the forest floor up to the treetops - each time you press the "sounds" button there's a chance of progressing to the next area. Each soundscape features a different mix of field recordings and percussive sounds to play with!

Challenge your friends, try the no-cheat mode with silent trap rounds, and share your score as a PDF. • Just for fun — a 3-minute sound challenge • No-cheat mode: silent trap rounds catch bluffing • Share your hearing-age score as a PDF • Free forever. No ads. No accounts. • Works fully offline — no data ever leaves your device • Sources cited in-app (WHO, NIH/NIDCD, ISO 7029) IMPORTANT: EarCheck is a game for entertainment purposes only. It is not a medical test, diagnosis, or medical device, and it cannot measure your hearing health. In addition to playing, always seek the advice of a doctor or qualified hearing specialist with any questions or concerns about your hearing, and before making any medical decisions.
