At Habré Nature Sounds was already discussed - a flash mixer on which you can generate for yourself the optimal combination of nature sounds. Choose from one to four sound streams, for each you specify the volume and distribution over the channels, as well as the pattern of manifestation.
If you picked up an extremely successful combination, you can save it as a unique URL or in a WAV file. But this service has one major drawback - it requires Flash.
At the same time, all 32 samples are separately posted here , so you can download them and make your own application with the same functionality, but without a flash. Surprisingly, on the Internet I could not find a single generator of nature sounds in HTML.
How to do it? Apparently, the Boodler open source generator of soundscapes would be the most suitable tool . It is written in Python, and you can feed it our quality samples to build a simple and convenient web service in the style of Nature Sounds. Nobody seems to have done this yet.
It is interesting that a number of scientific studies claim that the sounds of nature affect the well-being of a person. For example, the sound of rain supposedly has a calming effect, and the sound of a thunderstorm is supposedly able to charge with energy. Experience confirms that some sounds are suitable for productive work, while others can be set to calm a noisy audience. So this generator can have real practical value. In any case, such a web service would be very useful.
