Canopy & Tide Forest sounds for sleep and relaxation

Wind moving through tall trees, leaves rustling and birds calling from the canopy around and above you: whistled phrases, fast trills, rising chirps and a soft dove-like coo.

Forest sounds for sleep and relaxation

Forest sounds pair a soft wind bed with birdsong. They are best for relaxing, reading or winding down, and lighter than rain for masking. Press Play to step into an endless 3D forest.

What you will hear

A wind band around 600 Hz rises and falls in gusts, with leaf rustle near 3.5 kHz. Every few seconds a bird calls from its own spot 2 to 14 metres away, using one of four call types between 0.6 and 5.5 kHz. Farther birds sound softer and duller, the way they do outdoors.

Best uses

Forest sounds are lovely for an evening wind-down, meditation or focus. For sleeping through noise, combine them with rain (Rainforest mix) or a river (Riverside mix), because birdsong alone has quiet gaps.

Frequently asked questions

Will birdsong keep me awake?

It can for light sleepers. Use the forest as a wind-down sound with a 30 minute timer, or mix it under rain so the calls blend into the background.

Is Canopy & Tide free?

Yes. It runs in your browser with no sign-up, no ads and no downloads, and every sound loops for as long as you leave it playing.

Do I need headphones?

No, speakers work well. Headphones make the 3D placement much clearer, so sounds seem to come from around, above and behind you.
