How this file is made
Every second is synthesized by the same engine that powers the live player — a gusting low-mids spectral shape run through a sub-sonic high-pass and a peak limiter, then rendered to a seamless loop. There's no compression pumping, no crossfade you can pick out, and nothing buried underneath the wind. Just the sound, steady and clean, for as long as you set it to play.
Questions about the download
- Is this a recording of wind?
- No. It's generated wind — the exact same sound the SleepByNoise player synthesizes live in your browser, rendered to a file. There's no microphone and no field recording, so there are no birds, traffic, or loop seams hiding in it, just clean, consistent wind from the first second to the last.
- Does the 5-hour file loop, and will I hear a click?
- It's one continuous 5-hour file, not a short clip set to repeat, so there's nothing to "loop" in your player. It's built from a seamlessly crossfaded segment with a sub-sonic high-pass and a peak limiter, so you won't hear the ticks or pumping that ruin cheaper loops.
- What format and quality is the download?
- A standard MP3 (mono, 128 kbps), which plays on every phone, laptop, and speaker. The file is about 288 MB for the 5 hours length. Mono is ideal for masking noise and keeps the file small enough to download and store.
- Do I need to keep a tab open or stay online to play it?
- No. Once it's downloaded it's yours to play offline, all night, on any player or sleep app — airplane mode included. If you'd rather not manage files, the free SleepByNoise web player streams the same wind live with a tone control, gentle waves, and a sleep timer.
