Publisher's summary

The constant rush of water over a tall Hawaiian waterfall makes it easy to imagine you're standing under a warm spray of mist as thin streamlets of water trickle down the lava face of the cliff.

Unlike canned nature sounds created in a studio, renowned acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton gives you the real deal. He 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.

Good for sleep.

Haleakala Warerdall helped me sleep at night. I'll use it again as needed. Try it out if you have sleep problems.

Unhurried gently cascading water

Production is perfect. Falling water is soooo soothing.

Would that we had many other such recordings of nature sounds unadulterated with talk, talk, talk, or supposedly relaxing new-age instrumentation.

not long enough

lovely clear sound, but just 2 hours long. audible, get it together 8 hours please

Very relaxing to fall asleep listening to this.

This is one of my go-to sounds that I use to create a peaceful environment prior to sleep. Thanks! 👍👍👍👍👍

Great background sound.

This is a great option if you want something relaxing you can download and fall asleep or relax to. Sound is consistent enough to sleep to, with no sudden sounds or changes in pitch, and sounds more like water than other so-called waterfalls I've listened to. There's no talking or other sounds at the end, and the waterfall sound ending is gradual enough the loss of sound isn't startling.

Good for going to sleep

I listen to this every night to help me go to sleep. Its amazing :D

Brilliant, Peaceful and overall relaxing

This has been my constant sleep companion for quite sometime now. I would definitely recommend this audio book.

I like these, but there are better ones

Being in the military, I find myself deployed or just in places with no internet more than I would like. Being able to download something like this to sleep to before I go is awesome. This one isn't as good as some though, as the waterfall sound is so constant. Other ones with a repetitive wave sound, or rain where you have individual raindrops on leaves is just so much nicer than a constant roar of water. Still, really good.

Wonderful sleeping aid :-) Part of a great series

This is part of a series of audiobooks that are purely nature sounds. I use it as a 'natural sleeping pill'. it's much healthier and enjoying than the prescription drugs or counting sheep :-) I really like the sounds - just place it at a low-volume setting, and enjoy the feeling of sleeping in the nature.

Incredibly Compelling Story (+ good white noise)

Although the "narrator" is very monotone, this story makes it easier to sleep, living near a highway as I do. I slow it down to 50% speed so it lasts longer.
