About this sound

Water outflow on Geyser Hill trickles as it passes underneath the boardwalk. Binaural recording, best heard through headphones.

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.
