Ambient Sounds of Arizona

I love walking my dog at night. Especially right now, when the weather is so mild, cool, and beautiful. Tonight, there is a bit of wind and you can hear it blow the whole time. Enjoy the breeze, our footfalls, my dog doing her thing, and cars passing us by in the night. --- Sleep sounds | ASMR | Nature sounds | Wind sounds | Sounds to fall asleep to | Calm | Stress relief | Sleeping | Soothing | Relaxing | Meditation sounds | Peaceful | Healing | Soundscapes | Autumn | Fall | Arizona | Phoenix Arizona | White noise | Night sounds of Phoenix neighborhood | Walking | Dog walking | Walking dog | Cars passing by | Windy night

This was a really weird evening flash rain storm in Phoenix Arizona back in February. It drizzled for about an hour, then like a herd of thundering horse running across our roof, the sky opened up and poured down on us. --- Sleep sounds | ASMR | Nature sounds | Wind sounds | Sounds to fall asleep to | Calm | Stress relief | Sleeping | Soothing | Relaxing | Meditation sounds | Peaceful | Healing | Soundscapes | Autumn | Fall | Arizona | Phoenix Arizona | White noise | Rain sounds | Water sounds | Backyard sounds in a rainstorm | Rainstorm | Rain | Rain storm | Storm

Had the need to relax extra well one night and thought I’d bring you along for the ride. Enjoy the sounds of a Zippo lighter being opened and lit, the burning of the cigar, and our feral cat that we take care of. She was extra chatty this evening. Seems even after she’s had dinner, she wants more dinner.

It was a nice afternoon and I’d been meaning to split a few big logs I had pulled in from the alley behind my house.  A neighbor had a tree taken down a few months back and the company they used were kind enough to leave several large pieces of the trunk for me. I had them drying out in the sun for 2 months before I felt like I could split them fairly well with my hatchet and steel mallet. Ended up using a wood splitter for the really big chunks.  The wood was pretty knotted and twisted.  Think it was mesquite which smells amazing when dried out and burned, but the oils can keep the wood moist for a long time after it’s cut up. The neighbors were out in their backyard today, so you’ll hear kids playing and screaming.  At one point I swear their Mom squeels at them for some reason. I hope you enjoy this short track of me chopping firewood in my backyard in Phoenix, Arizona --- Sleep sounds | ASMR | Nature sounds | Wind sounds | Sounds to fall asleep to | Calm | Stress relief | Sleeping | Soothing | Relaxing | Meditation sounds | Peaceful | Healing | Soundscapes | Autumn | Fall | Arizona | Phoenix Arizona | White noise | Chopping firewood | Backyard sounds | Nature | Splitting wood | Firewood | Airplanes | Kids playing

Had some free-time over the holidays and decided to get out and hike a bit just northeast of Phoenix, Arizona. The McDowell mountains are spectacular. My wife and I used to hike these trails with some of our close friends that have moved back to Indiana.  There were a lot of other people out this day, enjoying time with family on a hike or bike ride. Some taking the Lost Dog Wash trail like myself, and others taking the Sunrise trail up to one of the summits. Lots of walking on the trail in this track... almost like a metronome at points. I really enjoyed this hike and I hope you enjoy sharing the journey with me.  --- Sleep sounds | ASMR | Nature sounds | Wind sounds | Sounds to fall asleep to | Calm | Stress relief | Sleeping | Soothing | Relaxing | Meditation sounds | Peaceful | Healing | Soundscapes | Autumn | Fall | Arizona | Phoenix Arizona | White noise | Hiking sounds | Walking on rocks | Arizona hiking sounds | Outside life

Surprise downpour in Phoenix Arizona. Waking up to this rain was amazing and it stayed on for more than a few hours. After taking the dogs out and feeding the beasts, I grabbed a cigar and a cup of coffee and setup outside. The crinkly start to this recording is from taking the cigar out of it's plastic. I'd run out of butane for my torch, so I used my Zippo lighter instead. A great way to start off this rain storm session. After getting my cigar lit, I focus the microphone out into the backyard and across the patio. Rain hits the concrete of my backyard patio and some of our patio furniture, while also pooling a bit. Really lovely to have a rainstorm in Phoenix. Being from Indiana, I miss the rain so much living in the desert. This was a great way to start a relaxing day that was really enjoyable. Enjoy this as sound to work to or sleep to, or even just relax on a weekend. Excellent white noise and calming effect. --- Sleep sounds | ASMR | Nature sounds | Wind sounds | Sounds to fall asleep to | Calm | Stress relief | Sleeping | Soothing | Relaxing | Meditation sounds | Peaceful | Healing | Soundscapes | Autumn | Fall | Arizona | Phoenix Arizona | White noise | Rain sounds | Rain storm | Backyard sounds | Cigar smoking | Smoking sounds | Relaxing sounds

As we closed out the year I had some quiet mornings so I decided to enjoy the Sunrise from my backyard, with a small fire. And I do mean small fire. We recently got a gift of a Solo Stove Mesa, which is around 9 inches tall and 3-4 inches in diameter. It's fantastic for some good heat, quick burn, and doesn't burn for too long. This morning was cool, about 36 degrees F. So the fire was nice. As the light in the sky starts to get brighter,  the birds are chirping so loud. You can also hear a lot of the traffic starting to pick up outside my neighborhood in Central Phoenix, Arizona. Enjoy the sounds of the day getting going and some of the crackling of the wood burning in the Solo Stove. --- Sleep sounds | ASMR | Nature sounds | Wind sounds | Sounds to fall asleep to | Calm | Stress relief | Sleeping | Soothing | Relaxing | Meditation sounds | Peaceful | Healing | Soundscapes | Autumn | Fall | Arizona | Phoenix Arizona | White noise | Wood burning fire | Solo stove fire | Fire burning | Sunrise | Bird sounds | Birds chirping | Traffic sounds

We've had an unseasonably large amount of rain this fall and winter in Phoenix, Arizona. I can't complain, I love it. This morning was particularly wet as the dog and I went out for her morning stroll around the neighborhood. We typically do about a mile out and about in the mornings. The rain was a bit much for both of us today however so we kept it to only a quarter of a mile. As you'll hear, the rain was pretty loud in the street and landing on the leaves of trees. A few people are up and about at this hour, but not many. This was a calm morning, little breeze, aside from that which was carrying the storm thru. Thankfully it wasn't blowing sideways. You'll notice the dog got a little frustrated with being soaked and shakes off quite a few times. At one point, we had to walk thru a bit of a puddle. Both of us had wet feet after that. Enjoy the repetitive sounds of us walking on the side-walks in our neighborhood in Central Phoenix. We're lucky to have as many big trees in our area that make for really beautiful walks early mornings in the rain. --- Sleep sounds | ASMR | Nature sounds | Wind sounds | Sounds to fall asleep to | Calm | Stress relief | Sleeping | Soothing | Relaxing | Meditation sounds | Peaceful | Healing | Soundscapes | Autumn | Fall | Arizona | Phoenix Arizona | White noise | Walking | Footfalls | Rain on leaves | Rain on trees | Wet dog shaking | Dog walking | Walking in the rain

It was a weekday afternoon when my neighbors had their lawn care guy come to clean up the yard. The neighbors directly across the street from me use the same guy so he's typically here for 2 hours at a time. He usually does the backyards first, so I waited until he moved on to the front-yards before I hit record. I grew up with a guy like him. My dad owned and operated a lawn care company back in Indianapolis, IN. So the sounds, the smells, it all brings me back to my Dad. If he happens to be visiting us when the neighborhood is mowing, we typically sit outside and listen while smoking cigars on the patio. I find the hum of the engine to be rather soothing and it always puts me into a productive headspace. As he finishes with the mowing and trimming, then moves on to using a gas powered blower to clean up the debris on the drive and side-walks. I hope you enjoy this as track as much as I do. --- Sleep sounds | ASMR | Nature sounds | Wind sounds | Sounds to fall asleep to | Calm | Stress relief | Sleeping | Soothing | Relaxing | Meditation sounds | Peaceful | Healing | Soundscapes | Autumn | Fall | Arizona | Phoenix Arizona | White noise | Lawn mower | Neighborhood sounds | Gentle hum 

This episode is a compilation of several unique rain clips I’ve captured during my day at South Mountain Park & Preserve just outside of Phoenix, Arizona. I parked several places throughout the light storm and the rain sounds and pitter patter on the cab was just too good not to build together and share. This is a great track to sleep to, work to, or relax after a long day. Enjoy the soothing sounds of a light shower rainstorm from the South Mountain Arizona desert mountainsides, peaks, and foothills. --- Sleep sounds | ASMR | Nature sounds | Wind sounds | Sounds to fall asleep to | Calm | Stress relief | Sleeping | Soothing | Relaxing | Meditation sounds | Peaceful | Healing | Soundscapes | Autumn | Fall | Arizona | Phoenix Arizona | White noise

Another great cut from my trip to South Mountain near Phoenix, Arizona. This is my final trip out of the park and back into the city. As before on my way in, the construction zone was a bit of a jog. This part of the trip though was impeded by more than just the construction zone… we also now had to endure the 10 MPH pace following behind a man on a bicycle for 3 blocks. Not to worry, I was holding up traffic so this poor guy with no jacket or hat or umbrella was getting soaked riding in the street vs. thru the trench of water that used to be the sidewalk. Only frustrating part here was a guy in a muscled up Ford Ranger decided to drive on the wrong side of the street and go around 4 cars including myself and nearly take out the bicyclist when he cut back over just narrowly missing the bike and the traffic barrels. Shortly after a passing this man on his bike, I came up to a line of 3 cars behind a street cleaner truck. Again, as before, I had no reason to not enjoy the ride and the rain. Join me on my journey home from South Mountain Park & Preserve near Phoenix, Arizona. --- Sleep sounds | ASMR | Nature sounds | Wind sounds | Sounds to fall asleep to | Calm | Stress relief | Sleeping | Soothing | Relaxing | Meditation sounds | Peaceful | Healing | Soundscapes | Autumn | Fall | Arizona | Phoenix Arizona | White noise

As we begin today's session, I'm sitting in a small pull-off between the North and South views of South Mountain. Cars are passing by, people out hiking are chatting amongst themselves. I decide to start down the mountain and back toward home, but just can't help but listen to the rain and want to share the experience. You'll hear the rain hitting the windshield of my truck as well as my rain jacket. The hard ping or tap is that of the drops hitting the water resistant material. The calm light breeze and the drizzle of the rain cloud floating thru the mountainside was soothing. I hope you find it just as comforting to sleep to, work to, or just enjoy a good book to.. hopefully by a fire or under a warm blanket. --- Sleep sounds | ASMR | Nature sounds | Wind sounds | Sounds to fall asleep to | Calm | Stress relief | Sleeping | Soothing | Relaxing | Meditation sounds | Peaceful | Healing | Soundscapes | Autumn | Fall | Arizona | Phoenix Arizona | White noise | Rain sounds | Road sounds | Traffic passing

Starting in Central Phoenix, I drove South on the I-17 down and around the southern edge of the downtown Phoenix area. You exit onto South Central Avenue and are immediately hit with construction. The city is expanding it’s Lightrail system to venture South along Central Ave. A fairly long distance. There are a lot of bumps in the road as the construction crews have routed traffic on a 4-6 lane road into 2 lanes, one each way. While this added about 20 extra minutes to my journey, I didn’t care. It was a cool, cloudy morning and I didn’t have anything else to do for a few more hours. Join me on my journey to South Mountain on a windy, dreary day. You’ll hear and ambulance passing by as we exit Phoenix streets onto the highway. As we drive thru South Phoenix, you’ll hear me accelerate thru the streets, do lots of stops and slow downs. Once we get free of the construction the road sounds become less prominent and dad into the hum of the engine and wind. As we enter the South Mountain Park & Preserve, you’ll hear thuds as we roll slowly over the speed humps leading up to the base of the mountain. As we gain altitude, you’ll notice the push and pull of the engine as I accelerate and decelerate around fairly tight turns that lead up to the the summit. Other cars coming down the mountain pass by, a few somewhat recklessly at speeds I deemed too fast. Closing in on the top, where we will exit and begin our late morning walk, the wind picks up. We pull into a parking spot just below the crest. This is where the journey ends for now. --- Sleep sounds | ASMR | Nature sounds | Wind sounds | Sounds to fall asleep to | Calm | Stress relief | Sleeping | Soothing | Relaxing | Meditation sounds | Peaceful | Healing | Soundscapes | Autumn | Fall | Arizona | Phoenix Arizona | White noise | Car noise | Driving sounds | Highway sounds | Construction roadwork sounds

On a very nice, mild afternoon in my neighborhood our neighbors were mowing their grass and I couldn't help but enjoy it. It was such a calming and relaxing sound, I figured I should share it. It's autumn in Phoenix, Arizona and the days are very mild and warm, while the nights and mornings are quite cool. Darn right cold for those that have been here for more than a few years. While my neighbors were finishing their clean up after the lawn mowing, a pigeon decided to join me on the patio. It flew so close to the table I thought it was going to land on me for a split-second. I left the encounter in the recording as the chirping and cooing was pretty nice. --- Sleep sounds | ASMR | Nature sounds | Wind sounds | Sounds to fall asleep to | Calm | Stress relief | Sleeping | Soothing | Relaxing | Meditation sounds | Peaceful | Healing | Soundscapes | Autumn | Fall | Arizona | Phoenix Arizona | White noise | Grass mowing | Lawn mower | Neighborhood sounds | Birds chirping | Pigeon cooing | Bird sounds | Birds chirping

Taking a drive on a Sunday afternoon after getting a haircut and decided to stop and get the truck washed before I take off on another work trip. Join me on this journey around the Uptown area of Phoenix. Enjoy the sounds of cars honking, the wind as I drive and other cars pass me on the road, and the noises of the brushes, water, soap, and dryers of the car wash. After playing this back a few times, I find it very relaxing. As if I'm now the passenger on this journey. --- Sleep sounds | ASMR | Nature sounds | Wind sounds | Sounds to fall asleep to | Calm | Stress relief | Sleeping | Soothing | Relaxing | Meditation sounds | Peaceful | Healing | Soundscapes | Autumn | Fall | Arizona | Phoenix Arizona | White noise | Road noise | car wash sounds

While on a recent work trip to San Antonio, Texas, I was in need of a relaxing hot shower after a long day. This hotel is old. One of the oldest in San Antonio and also one of the most haunted. While I didn't experience any ghosts myself, the ambiance and decor, the layout of the rooms, and even some doors that appeared to lead to nowhere made the experience one that I will not soon forget. Enjoy this shower with me and let it lull you to sleep or relax you while you work. The sound of running water has always been calming to me and the hot water and steam certainly helped release tension in my body. I hope it does the same for you. --- Sleep sounds | ASMR | Nature sounds | Water sounds | Sounds to fall asleep to | Calm | Stress relief | Sleeping | Soothing | Relaxing | Meditation sounds | Peaceful | Healing | Soundscapes | Autumn | Fall | Arizona | Phoenix Arizona | White noise | San Antonio | Texas

Visiting a resort for a recent work event, I took a walk in the Arizona desert and the sounds were so inspiring I had to share with you.  It's about 5am and the sun is nowhere in sight. The wind is blowing and the air is cool and crisp at around 51 degrees Fahrenheit.  I began my walk on the West side of the property and did a loop around the whole thing. Took me around 40 minutes to walk at a leisurely pace. During my journey I came across a running stream that circumnavigates the property and there was a small waterfall built into the flow by the resort.  The majority of this track is from sitting close to the waterfall, watching the sun slowly rise, and enjoying the desert flora. Unfortunately no desert animals came to visit while I sat, but it was still an incredibly calm way to start my day. Enjoy this episode to help you find peace, quiet, and calm as you go about your day or head off to sleep. --- Sleep sounds | ASMR | Nature sounds | Wind sounds | Sounds to fall asleep to | Calm | Stress relief | Sleeping | Soothing | Relaxing | Meditation sounds | Peaceful | Healing | Soundscapes | Autumn | Fall | Arizona | Phoenix Arizona | White noise | waterfall sounds

A cool night in the Valley of the Sun, we opened the house up as we ready for Fall. Autumn in Phoenix is more like a cool summer day or night from the Midwest. Originally from Indiana, I know this feeling very well. Not cold enough for a fire, but just right for a light jacket or hoodie, some warm socks and bit of bourbon neat. You'll hear the helicopters flying by every once in a while, but mostly you'll enjoy the calm winds flowing through the house and the occasional cricket chirp or a bird calling it's goodnight. The wind is fairly consistent this evening, coming in and through the house. Me sat in my armchair sipping on my bourbon and enjoying the mostly calm evening air.  Our central fan for the house does a great job at keeping the airflow steady and the wind provides just enough whistle to know it's there. This night was particularly calm and as I recorded this, I dozed in an out of the sleep and waking worlds. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do. ----- Sleep sounds | ASMR | Nature sounds | Wind sounds | Sounds to fall asleep to | Calm | Stress relief | Sleeping | Soothing | Relaxing | Meditation sounds | Peaceful | Healing | Soundscapes | Autumn | Fall | Arizona | Phoenix Arizona | White noise 

Nearly every Sunday, for years, we've gone to a local restaurant for breakfast. Since starting this audio adventure, this is the first edition of breakfast out. Enjoy the sounds of the kitchen preparing meals, dishes and utensils clanging about, and some light conversation from the cooks. Join us for this Sunday breakfast adventure. Next time you're in Phoenix, stop by Lucy's at the Orchard for an delicious breakfast and fantastic experience... inside or outside on their patio, or underneath the massive events tent. Bring the kids, the dogs, or both and have an excellent morning adventure. --- Phoenix, Arizona | soundscapes | breakfast sounds | restaurant sounds | kitchen sounds | cooking | background music | people eating breakfast

As we began preparing our ingredients for dinner, the thunder started to roll and the rain began to fall. We decided to open up the house and enjoy the cool breeze, sounds of rain and thunder, and see the lightning dance across the sky while we started to cook. A wonderful decision as you'll hear. This was one of the biggest storms we've had all monsoon season, at least in central Phoenix. Something we absolutely love. We had some champagne to sip on as well and took more than a few moments to step away from the cooking and just enjoy the sounds of the storm on the patio. We don't get much rain most of the year, so when we do it's a celebration! Enjoy the calm & relaxing repetition of the drops hitting the patio, falling off the roof, and the thunder rolling across the desert sky. --- Phoenix, Arizona | soundscapes | rain sounds | thunder sounds | nature sounds | storms | thunder storms | calm sounds | water falling | desert storms | city storms 

It's a rainy, cloudy day here in Phoenix, Arizona. The perfect weather for chili. So that's what we did. We made chili and I'm sharing those sounds with you. The boiling, bubbling chili on medium high heat will hopefully help you focus while you are living your life. I missed the part of adding the ingredients into the pot, but you'll hear all the boiling, stirring, and even plating after it finishes cooking. --- Phoenix, Arizona | Soundscapes | Cooking sounds | Chili | Boiling liquid

In this week's episode a storm was rolling through Phoenix and as I took my dog out to watch the clouds, I figured I'd have a cigar and enjoy the breeze. The crazy thing was, even though the clouds pretty much East and West of us looked gnarly... we didn't get anything but a few drops of rain. Elsewhere in the Valley, it poured. Trees came down from the wind. Scary stuff. Hope you come to enjoy this afternoon wind, smoking a cigar, and play with our pup. --- Phoenix, Arizona | Soundscapes | Wind sounds | Neighborhood | Birds chirping | Nature sounds

This episode was recorded at night in the backyard of a central Phoenix home. You'll hear things from police sirens to air planes coming into the city to make their arrival to dogs barking. Let this track inspire your day and encourage you to do great things.
