What you are hearing
- Recording Tainan Coastal Reefs
- Location Tainan, Taiwan
- Length 5:10
- On this page Binaural stereo
- In the app Binaural stereo and Dolby Atmos
Gentle waves lap against the reefs of Tainan, with delicate spray splashing beside your ears — an all-around soundscape carrying the tranquility and openness of the coastline.
Nothing here is looped, layered from a library, or generated. It is what was there for the five minutes the recorder was running, including the parts a sound designer would have removed.
What an account adds
The collection is 19 recordings, all captured on location in Tainan: the railway station from six positions, the coastline from nine, a school sports ground from four.
Each one is produced in two versions: the binaural stereo mix you are hearing on this page, and a Dolby Atmos mix for devices and speaker systems that can render it. A free account opens the whole collection in binaural stereo, 25 minutes a day. The Dolby Atmos versions need a paid plan.
To be straight about where this stops: this page is one recording, in binaural stereo. A free account adds the other 18, still in binaural. Dolby Atmos is not part of the free plan — it starts with Premium. See what each plan includes.
