About
A different kind of winter sound: the ice storm. Not the soft descent of snow but the sharp, crackling, whispering sound of ice building up on branches, needles, and pine cones.
The wind moves through a forest of pines whose limbs are growing heavier with each passing minute. Occasionally a branch shifts under the weight with a sound like breaking glass, then silence, then the quiet resume of ice forming in the still air.
This is an extraordinary natural white noise - high-frequency and crisp, completely irregular, with the low under-rumble of winter wind providing depth. For sleep purposes, the combination of cold, dense outside air and the recorded warmth of shelter creates a powerful contrast that signals safety and warmth to the nervous system.
The unpredictable irregularity of ice sounds prevents the brain from tracking patterns, accelerating the drift toward sleep. A uniquely powerful ambient experience for deep winter nights.
