The sound of soft rain in the rainforest at dawn is bliss. The soundscape is comforting, relaxing, reassuring. It's the perfect ambience for slowing down and immersing yourself into the jungle landscape.
The intensity of rain varies from soft drizzle to rain showers, but it's not a proper storm. Water drops hit all surfaces, drenching everything equally. The insect chorus is muted, subdued by last night's downpour. It's still present though and it can be heard all around. Frogs contribute to the soundscape, although their high-pitched calls might be easily mistaken for insects.
Birds are taking it easy today. The dawn chorus is almost non-existent, with one or two individuals calling every now and then. Occasionally a Howler monkey clears its throat half-heartedly, only to realise it's the only mammal calling.
Humidity is all encompassing and ever present. A heavy fog moves slowly through the canopy, causing sound to travel further but muffling some of the medium and high frequencies. I wake up briefly and look around through the mosquito net, only to fall back into slumber, still hearing the sounds of the rainforest around me.
Recorded in Costa Rica's medium elevation rainforest with Sony PCM D10 and Clippy EM272 microphones as tree ears. Enjoying the videos I upload on here? Feel free to support me by:
