Thunder and rain sounds - Asian rainforest soundscape

- Thunderstorms sound absolutely fascinating in the rainforest. The constant sound of insects, birds and other wildlife creates a beautiful background for the slow rhythm of thunderclaps. Rain sounds a lot like diffuse noise at first and it takes a while for it to reach the undergrowth. When it finally permeates through the thick canopy, the microphones will start picking up the beautiful detail of water droplets hitting the vegetation.
This soundscape is gorgeously enhanced by the mesmerising acoustics of this very live space. Factors like echoes, reverb, obstruction, occlusion, increased sound speed through fog, the movement of sound sources, intriguing ecological relationships - they all affect what the microphones are picking up in incredibly complex ways.
I had to hike for about an hour up a steep hill through the steamy rainforest before I decided the location was good enough to record in. I wanted to have a few discrete layers reaching my mics and plenty of reflections from hillsides. I also tried to get far enough away from the plantation which bordered the rainforest, otherwise I would be picking up anthropophony in my recordings.
Sadly much of Borneo's rainforest has been lost to oil palm plantations and it doesn't seem to be getting better. Please do your best to avoid buying any products that are made with palm oil, even if the packaging says it the sustainable kind. It might cost a little more but it will make a huge difference for the wildlife and people who call the rainforest their home.

Awesome sounds scape.. Thank you
Glad you like it!
This is beautiful! And the helmeted hornbill laughter at around 5:00 simply took my breath away! Always had been imagining helmeted hornbills in the rain since reading about them as a child, and thank you for bringing such a scenario to life!
My pleasure, thank you for the kind words!
Always waiting for your masterpieces. Thank You!

That mosquito around 10:40...
That one is my favourite, it adds scale to the soundscape.
@@GeorgeVlad The ultimate African night: quiet, maybe some soft night noises, and a mosquito or two in your room! 😵💫
Thank you so much for this
No problem 😊
Obsessed with bug (bird?) that starts at 1:30:45
Is it possible to purchase the exact audio for the YT videos you post? I have a few favorites I’d love to buy, but I can’t find the exact ones on your site

Lovely! What gain level did you leave your A10 at? This just shows that you don’t need too expensive gear.
Yes, exactly. Expensive gear can make your job easier but it's not essential in most use cases. In this situation I set the gain on the A10 at 12 out of 30. A couple of louder thunder cracks clipped but otherwise it dealt with the dynamic range quite well.
