Windy Pond at Night Ambience | SASS by Jared Blake published on 2021-09-25T19:03:46Z Watch Video + Read Blog → https://acousticnature.com/journal/pachaug-state-forest-nature-sounds Full Album: https://soundcloud.com/acousticnature/sets/the-sounds-of-pachaug-state-forest In celebration of the Equinox, I camped and recorded nature sounds in the Pachaug State Forest in Connecticut on September 22nd, 2021. Although Connecticut is my home state, this was my first overnight field recording trip. That's because Connecticut is not a great state for recording quiet nature sounds. Connecticut has zero national forests, zero national parks (not counting historic sites), and zero BLM land. Since the Pachaug State Forest is the largest forest in the state (27,000 acres), I thought it was my best chance at recording silence. Although I did capture some noise pollution free sounds, it was challenging and most of my recordings were polluted even late into the night, primarily by vehicle noise. Most of these recordings were made possible thanks to rain and wind overpowering the noise pollution, rendering it inaudible.
