Listen to ambient sound in the background with these 8 Free Background Sound Generator website for ambient sound.
There are various websites using which you can generate background ambient sounds. Most of these websites allows you to mix different natural sounds to create a perfect sound environment for yourself. While Some of them only generate a single type of sound, rest of them have a list of different sounds, out of which you can play one sound at a time. The one common thing in all these websites is the fact that they all generate very soothing sounds.
There is nothing more soothing than actually trekking through a jungle with all those natural sounds of birds, wind, insects, etc, or listening to the sounds of rain in some Countryside farm. These ambient natural sounds relaxes our brain to improve focus, resulting in boosting our overall productivity. Since, its not possible to listen to these ambient sounds all the time in natural environment, so here I have compiled a list of 8 websites that generate background ambient sounds for free.
Warning: These sounds are too addictive. Listen at your own risk ;)
