It's funny and beautiful because I recognized the sounds from my country but less so those from other places, which obviously might be a bias due to me seeing where the pointer is at any moment but can also simply be explained as different geography and biomes would produce different sounds. Even a river will be mold differently and have a peculiar acoustic, which I never really think about until now and find fascinating.

If what you want is the sounds of nature around the world, I can't recommend Gordon Hampton's work enough!

This is awesome! It would be great if there were more sound clips — maybe someone could make an app that lets anyone capture and upload GPS-tagged recordings. Moderation could be an issue though.

Curious why the large majority of the clips are about water. If that's spontaneous, maybe it's interesting psychologically.

nice idea, but almost all sound clips are rain.
