Nature, resynthesized.

YouTube recommendations can be quite surprising! Recently, I stumbled upon a video titled How To Sound Design Ecosystems. It's concept struck me as brilliant: replicating the sounds of natural ecosystems through synthesized sounds! As a field recordist for myNoise, I regularly capture the beauty of natural environments. As a sound designer, I have a passion for creating electronic soundscapes using plethora of synthesizers. However, I never thought of bridging both like Amfi Volia did, recreating the sounds of complete ecosystem through synthesis. I do have captured nature sounds that do sound as they were synthesized though, like these.

Amfi Volia, the creator of the video, is a young talented sound designer and musician. The care for details put in his work is impressive. So, instead of trying to recreate what he did, I contacted him to see if we could make a myNoise generator based on his work, and he kindly agreed!

Here we are, with the myNoise version of Amfi Volia's Biota, the alien rainforest. Compared to the original, this version has a slightly wider frequency range, both low and high, and includes a couple of new sounds, like the equivalent of a frog chorus, named croakos in our imaginary world.

If you struggle with high-pitched tinnitus, you might find these synthetic sounds particularly helpful. They can mask the sound of tinnitus more effectively than natural soundscapes. The reason is that tinnitus often has a somewhat synthetic quality, which blend in nicely. Try listening to this soundscape a low level: while it might not completely mask your tinnitus, pretend it to be charming enhancement to your auditory experience. Picture a whimsical little creature, the "tinnitrix," singing alongside its friends—the crokaos, scritters, and zirds. You can discover all of these delightful sounds and imaginary creatures through the slider names!

Big thanks to Amfi Volia for the inspiration, and the hard work that went into producing the original audio material that served to create this generator.

  I love this! It somehow manages to be weirdly soothing while also sounding like a prehistoric landscape. Is that a rumbling dinosaur call I hear off in the distance? Enjoying it with Tin Roof Rain for the full explorer-in-an-impossible-jungle experience!

  Some of the other tinnitus relief soundscapes I've tried have been too grating to sleep with, but WOW is this one perfect! I'm falling in love with the sound of those synthesized crickets - high-pitched but gentle and pleasant at the same time.

  Incredible work! I was very much looking forward to this one!

  Somehow "machined nature" generators like Unreal Ocean or Unreal Wind often fit me better than the real thing because it usually worsens my tinnitus. In this generator, I feel a pleasant steady flow, and although tinnitus gets louder, it also changes into a flat tone, which is a good thing. I especially love the Neblow and Sub Safari sliders for relaxation. My newest favorite!

  I'm liking these frogs. I might hang out here for a while.

  I've rarely met an artist who constantly keeps coming up with new ideas and refreshed creativity like you do. This beautiful soundscape simply proves it once more.
