White Noise Baby sounds are similar to gently shushing in your baby's ear. The name is derived from white light, which is what the human eye sees when all the colors that make up the visible light spectrum are combined. Blend a red, green, and blue light together and you'll get white light. You probably have noticed if you're in a brightly lit room filled with white light, it is difficult to see colored lights. That's because those individual colors get masked by surrounding white light. In the same way, white noise has equal energy at all sound frequencies to which humans are sensitive. Other sounds will get masked by white noise so they become less detectable.

“Time Magazine – “…If you’re really committed to going deep, go Naturespace… This is some of the best sound quality out there.” (2015)

If sound quality matters to you, then you owe it to yourself to try Naturespace. Naturespace is the ultimate headphone listening experience! Our immersive and spatially accurate 3D recordings from some of the most beautiful locations on earth will relax and rejuvenate you like nothing else. They truly must be experienced to be believed. With 6 free tracks, no ads, a simple interface, and a vast catalog to choose from, it’s easy to get started. Find out what millions of others have discovered: the amazing world of holographic audio.

At Naturespace, we record incredibly relaxing, immersive outdoor environments in 3D using proprietary holographic microphone techniques drawn from classical and field recording practices. When audio is recorded in 3D, the entire hemispheric sound field is preserved, including the sounds that occur in front, behind, beside, and above the listener. It’s mind-bendingly lifelike and remarkably soothing– a true revolution in sound.

The spatial accuracy of Naturespace's nature recordings are so convincingly real that they create an immediate positive impact on the listener’s state of mind. Providing the brain with spatially realistic, benevolent natural sounds taps into deeply instinctual parts of the mind to ease tension, stress, anxiety, and insomnia. It is a powerful tool for aiding focus and concentration, relaxation, meditation, masking noise, jumpstarting the imagination, evoking memories, and fueling creative processes. It’s an excellent alternative to white noise.

We are unique in that we capture, mix, and master all of our audio ourselves. Our obsession with holographic audio has led us to create a diverse and growing catalog of over 120 nature soundscapes, recorded by us across several continents in some of the most remote locations on the planet. Naturespace's thunderstorms, oceans, fields, streams, meadows, snowstorms, winds, and avian wildlife sounds are unmatched in the world for their realism.

On his 2014 album Upside Down Mountain, famed indie songwriter Connor Oberst (Bright Eyes) titled his track “Night at Lake Unknown” in homage to the Naturespace recording of the same name.

Naturespace is the perfect tool for increasing productivity, clarity, and focus and decreasing anxiety, stress, and distraction. It is a fantastic aid for those who need help with sleep and insomnia issues. With our powerful catalog of ambient nature tracks, all you need to do is put on your headphones, relax, and close your eyes.
