Calm Before the Storm Ambience (New Version) | Distant Thunder | Warm, Balmy & Windy | 3 HOURS
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ค. 2022
- UPDATE: There's now a Remastered 12-hr SLEEP version of this up on the channel :)
It’s a warm, summer evening, and a storm is approaching in the distance beyond the forest. The wind has already arrived, whipping up gusts of warm movement through the leaves. The atmosphere is balmy, there’s a lull and a heaviness in the air and the deep, distant rumbling is both soothing and powerful.
〰️
Due to popular request, I have created an alternate version of my original ‘Calm Before The Storm’ video, in a way that is entirely new and original, but addresses some requested changes. This version doesn't have the recurring "clicking" sound which bothered some people (which were tree branches creaking), and it is also a longer duration, for those wanting to use it to go to sleep.
This version features a brand new viewpoint of the scene, which shows much more of those glorious stormy skies and a little more movement in the trees and grass.
This project involved reworking everything in e-on VUE, then Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe After Effects, editing the new sound, editing the new video, encoding the new video and uploading here to TH-cam.

🏝️ * About this channel *
Balmy Cove is an original channel crafted with love by a fellow ambient soundscape-lover, passionate about the benefits of ambience for relaxation and mental wellbeing.
Here, you can find comfort and reprieve from the stresses of your life, focus more easily on your study or work, fall asleep more easily, or simply retreat into escapism after a long day with a good book.

🏝️ * How I make these videos *
You can watch the process behind one of my videos here: • How I make my ambience...
All of my videos are completely original and made from scratch. They take weeks to produce and are completed in different stages.
I create my 3D scenes in VUE - sculpting terrains, sourcing materials, modelling items, and placing them into the scene, adjusting lighting, angles, and other effects.
Once I’ve rendered the scene, I might use compositing techniques and other adjustments in Adobe Photoshop to add in new features. Then, I import it into Adobe After Effects, where I bring the scene to life with various animations and effects.
Next, I create a soundscape specifically for the atmosphere by combining several sounds together using a sound mixer, which involves applying various settings and adjustments.
Finally, everything is put together with video editing software and uploaded here for you to enjoy!

#ambience #relax #thunder - บันเทิง
PERFECT! The rain is a lo background and not a sizzling bacon BS. The wind rises and falls. The thunder rumbles and is realistic. Wonderful work.
Again, thank you so much.
@@balmycove😂😂🎉😢😢😂
Sizzling bacon bs 😭🤣 👏
@@timgora9116hes right tho😭
Oh my gosh Seriously! Sizzling bacon! That’s exactly what other “ambient storm” videos sound like. #nailedit
when people ask me what music I listen to I tell them "it's complicated"
I know, right? 😂 me too!
😂Yeah
lol, so true! 😅
Well, I consider that this is not music at all. Is more like... mmh "ASMR"? I am not sure, but is just owf, the best.
@@nhorajax6438 It's Recorded Ambient music.
This exact moment as a storm is approaching is my favourite feeling ever. Even your description of a 'balmy' wind... I knew this would be good! The increasing, warm wind, the rumble in the distance, the sound of nature preparing, the electricity in the air.. it's so calming for me. Thank you for this!
I'm so glad you like it! There is also a 12 hour sleep version of this one on my channel (same audio, just for longer and no animations and a darker screen). :)
ya.. the darkening.. the wind.. its the best!
I love rain , but thunderstorms like this with low rain is my favourite!
Most of all the smell is amazing.
@@phishcatt YESS!! it makes me relaxed.
Finally I found one that actually sounds right
Thank you!
this reminds me so much of my childhood at my grandparent's farm. Used to watch beautiful storm clouds approaching during dusk, and the warm breeze on my little face, with cold hints, smelling rain. Beautiful.
Aw isn't that just so special! Thank you!
That’s sounds so relaxing
Aww I want to feel that too...
Sometimes its hard for us to realize how crazy amazing it is to be a human here on earth. Im sorry for the lives that never got to expirience the beautiful things in it. Be thankful and be kind, respect our home we call earth, live in peace in this world of bad men. Teach others to be kind, enjoy food and earths gifts to you. Feel the rain feel the sun. Touch the dirt and water. Hug someone you love, tell them you love them. Life is so short, and becoming old is a huge privilege. After this who knows, but you will never be on this earth as you are here right now, ever again. God bless ❤ smell the rain?
I know exactly that kind of scene in real life. A relaxing summer late evening that suddenly becomes chaotic, but in a good way. The smell, the energy... everything becomes alive, and we become so small.
It's the best atmosphere in the world - I love it!
I mean in nature. I am not talking up my own work as the best in the world, although I am proud of it. Haha.
@@balmycove Hahaha I knew how it was meant :-D
@@balmycove Btw, I don't know if you are familiar with survival horror games and the concept of "save rooms", but if you ever feel like collaborating, get in touch!
I can smell it, just looking at this 🌧️☔
Same
I pray that anyone who reads it feels loved, safe and secure. I pray for physical, mental, affection and spiritual healing for all. Peaceful dreams!
I grew up in the country so I remember this feeling. I miss the tranquility that nature brought.
All humans were supposed to grow up in the country my friend. We did for our first 2 million 990 thousand years but we've gone progressively astray ever since someone figured out how to grow more food than needed.
@@Nine-Signs 100% ❤️
I love the sounds and perspective on this - I can imagine I'm sat with my back resting against an huge old tree, sheltered and peaceful, watching the storm roll in. Just lovely.
Thank you so much!
I'd rather not rest my back against a huge tree with such a storm approaching... if you know what I'm sayin
To anyone who comes across this message, remember that you've given your all today, and that's something to be proud of. We're grateful to have you here with us, and as a new day approaches, don't forget to take a well-deserved break and recharge. Tomorrow is a fresh start filled with opportunities.
Thank you, I needed this
no its not...Goth Bosch incarnate ....march 21st 1965 to March 9th 2029.
Thank you love
Hippy. 😎
❤
I always dream of this. It is dusk and storm about to come. Living alone in quiet serene rural area. Before entering home, do a final rounding outside the house and check everything in place, secure and lock. Park the car into garage, garden tools into the shed, pet dog/cat is inside the home and keep the hanging cloths. Before entering the house, turn around a look into horizon, enjoy the view of coming dark scary storm, feel the breeze and take a deep breath. Do the rounding inside the house, doors and windows shut and lock and ready some emergency equipment. Everything is quiet for now. Boil some water and prepare tea/coffee and lit up the fireplace. Dog/cat on the couch, blanket on them. Turn on some dim light, put the smartphone away and do what you like the most. Reading/writing, working on hobby, crafting, listening to horror podcast, watching horror movie and so on.
Absolutely beautiful storytelling of the scene. You have a talent! Sounds like absolute bliss - the perfect way to spend an evening. I wish the storm was always coming and never arrived, sometimes.
@@balmycove Thank you very much. Your videos helps me calm every time and dreams all these blissful imagination.
great comment! very descriptive.. i bet you do this for a living lol.. you literally took my imagination to this exact scene!
Your description helped me visualize while I listened to the storm in the background. Thank you
the few hours in real life that rural people hade time for hobbies that not where practical , when nature declared you best have a prepared den to hunker down inside of or flying branches , hail or downpours soon teach everything why its best to respect mother natures raw forces as they rippled through her causing mighty storms over her hide , at best.. and those not heeding that respect often learning it at lethal expense
when the farmers could do little but sit in lamp light and carve wood pieces , or fix small things feeling the storm tug and pull in the house and barn ,waiting for it to pass so they could cheek what might been torn up or smashed as it roared
An underappreciated weather phenomenon.
People always think I'm weird for thinking a thunderstorm is exciting but I've always loved them. Even something as terrible as a hurricane i find awesome and thrilling
Oh me too!!! Every time there's a storm warning I always start messaging all my friends haha.
they ARE exciting lol they're weird for thinking they're not.
Living in the mountains, away from city and it's noise, sometimes looking out of my small wooden house and seeing clouds are coming, so I need to grab some wood pieces for the fireplace from outside. Making a tea and sitting on my chair and looking out of the window next to the fireplace. The window is open so I can feel the fresh breeze and hear the thunderstorm more clear :)
Love it!
THIS IS THE EXACT TYPE OF WEATHER AND SCENERY I LOVE. THIS VERY SPECIFIC ONE... HOW DID U KNOOWW😭
:) :) :) :) Thank you!!
This is a kind of nostalgia I can't even begin to describe. This video is quite literally perfect ❤ I'm so glad that I found this!!
Thank you so much!
Hard to find a distant storm video this good! Thanks a lot!
Thanks!
Fell asleep while listening to this last night and had one of the most restful nights of sleep ever. I woke up this morning with more energy than I know what to do with. Thanks for posting. This channel is a godsend!
Oh I am SO happy to hear this! It warms my heart. Thank you!
I just want to remind you that it's perfectly normal to feel overwhelmed by life's pressures. We all go through these valleys, and feeling this way doesn’t mean you’re failing-it means you're human and deeply in tune with your journey. Remember, it's not about avoiding the storms, but learning to find peace even in their midst. You’re not alone in this. Whenever you need a shoulder to lean on or someone to listen, I'm here. Hang in there, and take it one breath at a time. You are stronger than you know, and this too shall pass. 💖
Apply your wise words to yourself as well :)) thank you for this I needed it!
how can i find peace among bad things
This reminds me of some dreams I had as a young kid. Always brought peace when I thought about them
Can you tell me about your dreams? Just curious
@@aymanemach One dream specifically that this video touched on was when I was standing amongst rolling green hills with thunderclouds echoing in the distance. The rain was pattering on my shoulders softly as I stood in the stillness. I remember it to be something incredibly meaningful even to this day
@@Duster217 i had a similar dream when it comes to landscape. But it wasn't raining. However, there were giant white wolves running around in vast openness of the green hills, and they would chase me if they noticed me. Your could say mine was a nightmare, but yours is a very beautiful dream and indeed sounds very meaningful and powerful
@@aymanemach I think these dreams mean something in my life, perhaps even for you. I’ve spent so much time trying to think of ways. I always thought I was alone in thinking that I had these experiences. Thanks for sharing
it's so wholesome seeing this conversation
This really is perfect! Not loud on the rain, a nice storm wind coming on, and the low rumble of thunder...nice depth. Reminds me of days in Oklahoma. All it needs are tree frogs!
Thank you! I love the sound of tree frogs :)
Best rain storms I lived they were out of okc.
So clever!... It makes my brain believe it's 20° warmer than it really is here😮awesome
Thank you so much!
I literally watch this video almost every day now. Perfect for keeping my attention problems in check while coding.
Oh that is so nice to hear. I'm glad it helps you to concentrate and focus. 🙂🌴
Reminds me of my summer job as a wildland firefighter last summer. Sitting on a hill building sandbags with the boys in this beautiful underrated weather prepping for a rainstorm and possible flooding....
Wildfires are sooo scary. We have pretty bad bushfires in Australia sometimes. Thank you for your service! 9
@@balmycove They can get pretty dicy but its an adrenaline rush for us young college guys lol. I plan on doing it again once school gets out
Man, it looks amazing :D
This sounds like I’m really there and it’s really happening. The rain isn’t like Falling gravel. It sounds like actual rain.
Subscribed!
Thank you soooo much!
I’m glad the rain don’t sound like TV static💀🤎💕
I love this at my grandma house we would play out side then it turn cloudy but no rain thats the best wind ever.❤
This is the best thunder ASMR out there. I've tried a lot. Thanks
Whoever finds this comment, I wish you all have a good night :)
Finally... that scape I can never describe to people but is my favorite thing to experience. Something about it still being bright and beautiful outside, but the darkness is looming overhead and the rain is slowly approaching. It's otherworldly. Thank you so much
This is THE BEST storm sound I've ever found. Wind, thunder, the sound of grass! PERFECT! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I just published a remastered version, let me know if you like it better!
Best sleeping video on the TH-cam so far....many thanks!
Wow, thanks! Really appreciate your comment 😊🌴
This is gorgeous on every level ❤ I've tried so many thunder clips to help me sleep and none come close to this! Sounds very like the summer storms we get here in Australia 🇦🇺 thank you!
Thanks again Stacey, I live and create from Australia :) The only storms we've gotten so far where we live have been pretty sudden and extreme, so I am missing the gentle brewing of ones like these.
I like how you have God's hands in the sky, reaching down as if to say, "Behold my Creation, with which I am well pleased."
This is superb, thank you!!! Yes, it DOES take me back to those summer nights as a kid...
Great sound mixing!! Nothing is over powering and it sounds authentic! Like i could actually imagine closing my eyes somewhere and hearing these exact sounds which a lot of ambience videos don't replicate very well. Subscribed 😊
Thank you sooo much :)
I'm listing to this with classical music in the background on spotify whilst I work...This is truly a wonderful feeling that we all should experience. Thank you.
Ooh that sounds niiiice!
I like these calm little moments before the storm.
Mostly in the summer time we get these random storms and they clouds are so dark. Makes me think about being a kid outside and just looking up at the clouds in amazement. With the winds getting stronger and stronger. However, the storms don’t usually last too long. Wish they did.
Yes. Lots of wind, thunder and lightning then.....no rain!
reading the stormlight archive series while listening to this and it is absolutely perfect
I'm so glad you're enjoying it! :)
This feels like windy nights at my cottage! It’s perfect💕
Thank you so much!
A beautiful view that combines the beauty and majesty of nature with the sound of rain and thunder. A wonderful painting created by God. Always remember that tomorrow will be more beautiful
Thank you for such beautiful thoughts. God is great x
I just listened to all three hours of this while writing and was surprised when it ended. This was the most accurate and unique natural ambience I have ever heard, and the visual was perfect! It gave me some of the most beautiful setting descriptions for my story and I am very grateful for the inspiration. I'm going to hit repeat and listen to this for another three hours
I live in Laos. And I love this the sound of impending storm. It's like I'm in a cabin in the woods. Very therapeutic.
Thank you soooo much! There's a 12 hours version of this also on my channel ;)
@@balmycove Oh, thank you for letting me know! That's perfect
Thank you!
Using for floating city in D&D. TY
I like people who smile when it's raining.
Dreams where a storm is forming in the distance whilst I am in warm water or in a cozy place are the best dreams I've had.
Well done Balmy Cove as usual. Can’t wait for more videos
Thank you Ethan! I have another one coming up shortly.
This is why im not afraid of storms, ⛈️ it makes me feel relax and stay calm, and all I loved to do during a thunderstorm is watch TV 📺📼 yeah!" 😁👍 that's it!'
Oh this is gorgeous 🌹
Thank you so much :)
That picture is my ideal weather. So peaceful.
this is straight up perfect, please make more lol
Thank you! I absolutely love making ambience videos, plenty more are on their way!
I love this! It brings back such pleasant memories of those bucolic, stormy afternoons I so enjoyed as a child living with my grandparents in the countryside. When the wind started blowing through the tree tops, Grandpa would say it was the trees whispering to each other, and when we heard a prolonged rumble of thunder, he would say it was the great corn wagon rolling across the sky. ⛈❤
Aw isn't that sooo special that this evokes such beautiful memories for you 🥹
Wow, There's a storm coming, The sky is dark and The wind is blowing outside. This place is really nice, Thank you very much. 🙂👍🌫️🌫️
You're welcome! Enjoy the calm before the storm :)
I'm glad I found this. I love it!
Thank you! It makes me happy to hear that you love it 😊😊🌴
this is delightfully accurate. i can close my eyes and if i focus just enough i can almost smell the rain and feel the cool breeze that tickles my skin as i lay in the grass. thank you.
Thank you so much!
Perfect for right now as i have a migraine, and this is just the right sound level for me.❤
Aw thanks. Are you feeling better? Migraines are tough! x
@@balmycove Getting there slowly but surely
If I could pluck an image from out of my brain and sculpt it into a real place to live, it would probably look something like this. Love it.
Thank you! I love a good moody atmosphere.
Love this! It is so peaceful and helps me fall asleep. Thank you. 💕🙏💕
Thank you! I'm so glad it helps you fall asleep. I am aiming to bring out a longer version of this, this year, so that people can listen all night if they want to.
I LOVE this kind of weather. This exact moment when the stormy clouds are approaching, the smell of petrichor wafting through the wind, the sound of distant thunder... So perfect. I love it.
The BEST kind of weather! Thank you.
I listened for 45 seconds and saved this video this is exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you finally somebody got it right.
Thanks so much! You might like the ‘remastered’ version on my channel also ☺️
I love these kind of sounds for study, relax, sleep.
my favorite video of yours! i've been leaving this in the background while i'm reading and it's soooo nice
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it 🌴😊
This is one of the best faraway storm soundscapes I've come across on youtube. However, I have to say... there are sounds every few minutes that sound DISTINCTLY like footprints walking toward you, and if you have anxiety, it can be pretty unnerving, especially if it is unexpected.
Yes! A few others have commented this - so I remastered the sound into a new version - th-cam.com/video/nemk-SaDX64/w-d-xo.html - enjoy! Thank you!
This stormy breeze ambiance feels so genuinely real and perfect, I can practically smell the ozone, crisp wind and approaching rain through my phone screen! I have a hard time finding ambiances that manage to relax me, but this one made me feel content and cozy the second I put in on, which is a big accomplishment on your part! Amazing work, you did such a wonderful job on this video!! Thank you for sharing this with us, and pretty please never delete this or I’ll cry 😭💗🙌
Thank you so much! I don’t plan on deleting of course but if you want to be sure to own it forever you can download it on iTunes - I’ve only just got some tracks published there this week so go and take a look 😊 Thanks for your support!
Such an underrated channel, love the ambience
Thank you so much 🥹
This is a really nice animation , I love the setting and the tension of a coming storm. The only thing this scene needs is animated storm clouds , but this is really nice...
Thank you :)
Love all the detail you put into this 🥰
At home, sitting on the front porch as the storm rolls in
Eating watermelon with salt on it. My grandparents sitting there as we look out at the trees and the garden getting a good soak. Garden is gone. So is my grandfather. But me and my grandmother still watch the trees blow in the wind.
Love the soft rain sounds. Most rain is overpowering.
The only thing that will make this video more interesting is adding some people distant chatter for some minutes. ❤ love it. Let’s try to sleep. Good night
Thank you! Check out the remastered version I just published. No voices, but I’ve removed the ‘brushing’ sounds. ☺️
Literally a summer evening...
This is the _perfect_ ambience for sleep. And those faint, close-up sounds are giving me cozy ASMR tingles too. Amazing.
Ive been listening to ambience since 2015 for sleep most videos sound fake and in loops. I turned to blizzard sounds This is definitely the best thunderstorm ambient video in my books. I'm surprised you dont have more subscribers. Dont give up PS: I wish you had some 6-8 hrs vids
Thank you! I plan on making a longer version of this one this year, so keep an eye out! What do you think of my blizzard one?
Finally I found one that's perfect! THIS is what should top the search page. Thanks for making this :)
Aw thank you! 🥹
This is some award-winning ambience right here
Thank you so much!
Don't know about you, but this gives off calming yet eerie vibes. Kinda like in a horror movie where you know something bad/horrific is going to happen and you're just waiting for the moment to come. This is what reminds me of.
Yes - like calm but powerful. Some interpret it as eerie. I guess it depends whether you’re a fan of that moment when a storm is brewing and you know it’s gonna be a big one 😎
i am extremely picky with ambience and you absolutely nailed this i’m being so serious, brilliant work man 💛 thank you for this
Thank you so much 🥹
I forgot I was listening to this and it tricked me into thinking it started raining outside. 10/10
The depth of field and perspective makes this a fab backdrop to chill to with headphones in the dark. I'm really there and it's fantastic. ❤😊
Thank you!
The picture's kinda giving the walking dead vibes. I love it
This is a sound ambience I can FEEL.
This is my kind of weather! Thank you so very much!!!!!!!!
I love this atmosphere so much!! Just before it's starting...
The best part, hey! :)
Perfect! PLEASE ADD AN 8-12 hour version! I need this sound to last longer. ❤
There's a 12 hour sleep version on my channel :)
And I thank you for the new version , :D
Well. *THIS* is going straight into the playlist
The trance this puts my mind into 😵💫😴 thank you for making this!
You're welcome :) :)
Much better! Good work!
Thank you! 🌴😊
I listened to this while studying and it was amazing! Thank you!
Aw thank you so much! Best of luck with your studies, hope it all goes well for you x
Like it. 👍 nice blend. Birds are a nice addition
This is real nice balance between thunder and rain. And the rain isn't coming down in big sloppy drops that sound too close to me if I want to stay dry.
There were many times during this that I thought an actual storm was coming...at one point I paused it just to make sure :D
I’ve always been kinda picky about rain and thunder sounds (mostly bc a lot don’t sound realistic or calming to me), and I’ve never found one as good as this one😃 Hits all the right points and very calming. On my speakers a little further away and lower volume, it really feels like it’s happening outside. Thanks for your channel, you have a new subscriber❤
Thank you so much. 😊😚
Sounds amazing! I'd love a downloadable audio file that can play on my surround setup. That would be epic honestly.
Just found this, cheers to the creator, it's really great. I watch a lot of ambient stuff, the audio and the visual are just about perfect.
Thank you so much. I am passionate about creating quality ambience 🥹
I can almost smell the ozone and the somehow suddenly much heavier scents of the flowers and trees in the air
I love the image in the background. The mood was perfect and it fit the vibe. It was like i was actually there. Thank you for a relaxing journey as i sleep.🎉❤😊
Aw I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!
