Underwater Stream For Calm And Stress Relief

Thanks to the generosity of everybody on Insight Timer, I have been able to purchase a hydrophone recently.

I took it out with me on this bright, crisp, autumn afternoon in search of a gentle stream.

The beauty of hydrophones is that they are waterproof, so I was able to place this under the water to capture that "trickling" sound without any other noise.

Unlike standard microphones, they don't pick up vibrations in the air. They will only capture sound when something is in contact with them, or a surface they are attached to.

Whilst recording, I sat next to this river with my headphones on and listened to what was being captured. I found it very soothing, especially as there is no other sound than the water rolling by.

I'm looking forward to experimenting further with this microphone and I hope you enjoy this recording as much as I do.

Wonderful! I love underwater sounds! 💦 (I was listening to recordings of sea urchins yesterday)
