Ultimate "screensaver" for your audio system!

I've been following the "Equalizer Settings" thread and it cause me to do a bit of looking for something to help me measure my sub/K'horn crossover.  Found it, and much more.

There is a background noise for ANYBODY here and the quality is extraordinary.  On my system with DynaQuad it swirls around gently and forms a uniform sound field.  Excellent for napping, reading, or for those of you in Colorado or Washington state you'll figure out a use. 

 

I think this site is gonna build a LOT of traffic.  Be sure and check out the scientist (Dr. Ir. Stéphane Pigeon) behind the site's bio and info page.  Fascinating, and he looks like genius.

 

BTW, you can calibrate your ears while you are there....

I've turned on my tuners in the rest of the house and outside to it.  Running one of the meditative soundscapes throughout the house and yard.  Everybody happy!  Sort of like a whole house audio air freshener.

That sounds cool, when I get time I want to see if it will go on my phone, I could use it out by the bar for hammock time,  ;) the ocean or jungle sounds would be great out there, I really need to check it out more.

Thanks... A few years ago I was driving round trip to Georgia. I stopped at Murfreesboro TN and stayed at a brand new Embassy Suites hotel. The hotel had HD tv's in the rooms. One of the channels was called chill or something like that. The screensaver was low light pulsing psychedelic patterns with relaxing ambient sounds. Been trying to find something like that for years. I even called the hotel and asked and they thought I was talking crazy...

Well, got so carried away with the noise generator (the PAW has seashore going all over the premises while we work today) I forgot I also found what I was looking for, reliable test tones and such.  These are from the same guy.

I use an iPhone app called SleepMachine when I travel. You get to mix three sound from a wide library. There is a SleepMachine Lite  also that's less expensive (free?)  SleepSoftLLC.com 

 

I have one that is Reflection (low mid drones), light rain, and about 20% crickets that is great for meditating.

So yesterday I put on some Louis Armstrong from my digital files.  When I flipped the preamp to it I thought "WTF?" as I heard something else mixed in.  Realized I had rain and seashore going.  Sound like listening to Louis out on the deck overlooking the beach in a rain storm.

 

Actually, pretty cool!
