Cades Cove

Narrated by: uncredited

Listen to crickets, cicadas, and other nocturnal creatures hum and trill beside a babbling brook in the lush forest of Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The various noises of the night combine to create a sense of peacefulness, a perfect way to let the mind unwind.

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.

Helps Sleep

This helps me get back to sleep. Very relaxing. I feel like I’m camping next to a stream with crickets chirping.

I fall asleep to it nightly

Whatever season you can find me nightly at Cades Cove. It is summertime every night

Great to listen when focus is needed

Great to listen when focus is needed! I listen to this audiobook while I was doing the dishes and cleaning my apartment. It kept me focused, and it was enjoyable.

Takes me back...

...to camping in the woods, and I love it! I pictured the bubbling brook just a few feet from my bedroll as I slept under the canopy of trees while I watched the stars of the Milky Way through the natural clearing over the stream as I feel gently to sleep. All in all, a wonderful audio that I will play again and again and again.

Just what I needed

I’ve been searching for the perfect cricket sounds for awhile. So happy to have found this one and with a babbling brook. Thanks!
