The John is John,
THE app for relaxation and sleep assistance
If you’re like me, silence is deafening. I can’t fall asleep at night without some sort of white noise/sfx type thing playing. During the day, i need the same sorts of thing to quiet my mind. This is the best app of its kind, hands down.
Besides having hours and hours of beautiful, natural sounding audio recordings of unique and varied environments (hence the name of the app), as well as a few new age and proto ambient pieces, the interface is dead simple to use. Make playlists of your favorite sound recordings (each one over 30 minutes long), play any one recording on a loop, and get the background behind this unique collection of recordings (all made on analog equipment back in the ‘70s). All that and more for one low price, paid one time, and then you have an ad-free app to enjoy for as long as you’d like. I cannot recommend this app enough!

Captian Awesome,
Fantastic presentation of these fantastic recordings
I gotta hand it to the Numero Group, this app is great. When acquiring the Environments series, rather than doing a CD/Vinyl/Download reissue like their other releases, they had the thought to update for the 21st century and make an app.
22 long form, stereo analogue audio recordings of nature await you here. Is this fewer than other white noise apps? Yes, but what those lack is length, and quality. Also included here is a brief history of Irv Teibel, and the Environments series, which is nice (but if you’re looking for more, check out the Atlas Obscura article. Turns out the Environments series was one of the first audio recordings to be edited on a computer. A big analogue mainframe one, but a computer none the less).
I have two small nitpicks:
The audio mix on the recordings is a little hot. As I write this I’m listening to “A Country Stream”, and have my volume at roughly 15%, and it’s still really loud.
A recent update adds front and back LP cover art scans, which is fantastic, but sadly there’s no way to make the pictures larger to read the original write ups for each recording.
But really that’s it. It’s a phenomenal app.

MissSeattlr,
Tried finding an alternative but this is the real deal
Before finding this app, I had been looking for the recordings online or something like it for years to no avail. I had one of these records when I was a teenager and wished I still had it. I’ve tried lots of other options, but the recordings were short or had music playing over them and nothing came close to the Environments experience. And now I have found the real deal. These are especially great to listen to when you are driving as it takes all the anxiety and frustration away. Thank you for bring these back to us in a modern format!
ElegantScience,
Beautiful, long and deep
One of the things I can’t stand in many nature sound apps or nature recordings these days is the obnoxious overlaying of tacky spa music, or clips that only last 4 or 5 minutes, or ones that are clearly faked with overlay after overlay of separate sounds. This is the real thing. Unvarnished, uninterrupted, unaltered and majestic. Well worth the tiny cost. Not only are these recordings deeply calming and helpful as background for contemplative work or study, but they are time capsules of an environments that are tragically swiftly disappearing. Buy this, if only to honor the great craftsman who made them and captured these aural worlds for posterity.

Sonically Superb
As a childhood listener of the Environments album series, I was pleased to find that the Numero Group had resurrected these recordings in the form of an app. It’s a creative endeavor and also very practical. The nature and loopability of these long form recordings lend themselves well to the format.
I’ve used this app a lot over the past few years, putting my baby boy and myself to sleep and naptime and bedtime. He loves to look at the landscapes that accompany each track. Worth every penny and more.

Another hit from the Numero Group
Numero Group have constantly been innovators in the reissue game. Innovators both in the work that they reissue but also in the form in which they release it. From records with hardback books of photography to LP/DVD sets celebrating short live dance TV shows, they’ve done it all. And they’ve carefully matched the form to the content.
Reissuing these historically important field recordings as an app continues that trend. This will allow new generations of people to fall asleep or meditate to these masterpieces.
And it’s a well made app, too.

I knew Irv Teibel!
Many long years ago in Austin, a magazine sent me to do an article on Irv Teibel and his recordings. He was a fascinating, delightful gentleman, very generous of time and spirit, and we stayed in touch for years. I still have the albums he gave me, and his thunderstorms have always been my favorite companions when I need to concentrate or rest. I’m thrilled to find his recordings have become so very easily accessible in app form, and that Irv’s memory lives on in them! ❤️
JonBoulay,
Great app, I'd personally like a few minor tweaks
I really love the concept of the app! I had been starting to collect the LPs although rarely played them but use the app most every night. A few improvements would be great. First a dedicated button to the track list would be helpful rather than swiping through. Also since many of these field recordings feature chirping birds they don't make the best sleep sounds, however they would be perfect in the morning if the app could be developed to include an alarm function.

Incredible immersive sounds - worth the $3!
I bought this app 5 minutes ago and I already feel more relaxed. The ocean sound I’m listening to right now makes me feel like I’m sitting on the Maine coast watching the tide come in! There’s even an occasional foghorn (and no weird fake-sounding seagulls, which is a feature that’s always bothered me in other nature sound apps). I don’t think I’ve ever reviewed an app before, but I just like this one so much.

🚫Don’t fall for the hype...
This showed up on some website as the most amazing environmental sound app ever. I thought it would be worth the three bucks. It isn’t. The recordings are long, that’s about all. They lack any kind of clarity, stereo separation, interest. You can hear audio levels go up and down, especially on the tracks of thunder when the audio is obviously clipped on the thunderclaps. And some of the recordings are just confusing (e.g. blizzard sounds like it was recorded inside with the house interior falling apart). This was an instant regretted purchase - no wonder they don’t have an in app purchase that lets you preview it first. Don’t waste your money on this one.
