About this sound
Located in the mid-bay, Sandy Cove is a series of sheltered inlets. In addition to being a fabulous place to observe wildlife, this area also resonates with natural sounds. Now you can experience it too!
Why parks record sound
The NPS Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division monitors soundscapes in parks across the United States. Natural quiet is treated as a resource to protect, like clean air or dark skies: noise from aircraft, vehicles and machinery can mask animal communication and change the experience of a place.
