Cape Cod National Seashore

Written by: Gordon Hempton

Publisher's Summary

Unlike canned nature sounds created in a studio, renowned acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton travels the world recording remarkable locations that capture the essence of the place itself. His lifelong mission is to preserve nature through sound, and his soundscapes are produced with such care and quality that you feel as if he has truly brought a slice of the world into your home.

Few things are as soothing as the lull of the ocean, and in this piece, Gordon celebrates the sounds of the Atlantic as only he can. Relax, close your eyes, and experience the waves crashing onto the wet sand like the earth's own breathing.

This title is part of a collection of audio experiences created to deliver your best sleep during this difficult time.

Soothing sounds for sleep

Wonderful sounds of moving water without the predictable wave coming in to distract you from sleep. Very calming and very enjoyable.

Cape Cod National Treasure!

This is a 2 hour soundscape that has no extra sounds. It is waves crashing in a way that lulls even the busiest mind. It is my son's first choice every night and I will often put it on if I'm having trouble falling asleep.
I was worried there would be birds, or wind or who knows. It is just perfect.

Reminds me of being at the cottage on the coast

It is a lovely soundtrack to listen to going to sleep. it reminds me of sleeping with the window open and listening to waves on the coast as a child. It creates a perfect white noise background to drown out street noise in the city.

This is the best app to help you sleep. The ocean sounds are amazing.

I absolutely love this app. Too bad it doesn’t last 6 hours. I’d sleep all night if it did.
THE BEST APP EVER!

Great listening for falling asleep.

I like to play it on nights I feel like I can not quiet my brain.

I love it! I find it relaxing and use it at night

I feel like I'm in the middle of the ocean! It's perfect to go to bed listening to this because Mr Hempton doesn't use a loop like all nature sound machines do. I saw that he also has another audiobook and I just purchased it. I highly recommend this audiobook if any one wants to unwind or to fall asleep. If you put headphones on, you can close your eyes and pretend to not live in the city. :)
Note: The only 'con' would be the "This is Audible" announcement at the beginning. I find this very loud and distracting when playing this in the middle of the night.

Ultimate Holistic Sleep Aid

Absolutely amazing non-medical sleep aid that works everytime. I will definitely be trying others and adding them to my library. Great addition to my meditation mix too. Simple, natural and soothing no matter how challenging reaching sleep is. The more I use it the more I love it.
