greensound: sleep sounds, nature recordings and noise

Real places, for sleep: field recordings labeled with their source, and soft noise. 15 free minutes a day, no ads, no account.

Real places, for sleep. greensound plays real field recordings and soft noise from Chrome's toolbar, and it keeps playing after you close the panel, with no greensound tab open. What it plays Four noises (green, brown, white and pink), made live on your computer so they never repeat. And fourteen recordings: twelve of real places, among them a wetland at night on the Yucatán Peninsula, waves on a beach in Quintana Roo, a river in the state of Rio de Janeiro, a floodplain in the Netherlands and whales off the coast of Norway. The other two are not places: a small fire, which is a made sound effect, and a guitar, which is music. Each is labeled that way, with no place named. Where every recording comes from Each recording shows who made it, where we can name them, and where, as far as its source says. We did not make these recordings. Other people did, and each one is shared under a Creative Commons license, either CC0 or CC BY 4.0. Where a license asks for a credit, we print it as its maker asked. When a source leaves out a name or a date, we leave it out too, rather than guess. The full list, with licenses and links, is on greensound.app/about. How it works Tap a sound. Use the volume slider, or Pause. You get 15 free minutes of listening a day. Pause keeps the minutes you have left, and when they are used the sound fades out gently. Tapping another sound switches to it without restarting the clock. "Open the full mixer" takes you to greensound.app. Free, 15 minutes a day, with nothing to buy here The extension is free. It has no ads and no account, and it sends no listening counts. It remembers your last sound, your volume and how many of today's free minutes you have used, on your computer, and keeps the recordings you play there so they start faster. Removing the extension resets the minutes. Every recording, listening with no daily limit, up to six sounds layered, the full Sleep, Focus and Relax mixes, and timers up to all night are part of Pro on greensound.app. They are not in this extension. Ten percent for real places 10% of what you pay us will go to conservation, starting with Ría Lagartos, a biosphere reserve on the north coast of Yucatán, and we will publish every transfer on a public page. greensound has only just begun charging, so nothing has been given yet.
