About this sound

Sounds of a gentle stream bubbling across the desert floor. Turbulations caused by rocks, boulders, grasses, curves, and more. Relax and enjoy these peaceful sounds.

Why parks record sound

The NPS Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division monitors soundscapes in parks across the United States. Natural quiet is treated as a resource to protect, like clean air or dark skies: noise from aircraft, vehicles and machinery can mask animal communication and change the experience of a place.
