No sign-up, no email, and no thirty-second preview. It is the entire recording, and you can scrub anywhere inside it.
Headphones recommended — this is the binaural stereo mix.

Water meets the reef rocks on the Tainan coast. Small splashes land close to the recorder, with longer gaps between waves.
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
Every recording in the collection was 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 rest of the catalogue, still in binaural. Dolby Atmos is not part of the free plan — it starts with Premium. See what each plan includes.
