    Description

     

    Continuing with the theme of creating awareness for sounds from around the world and in your backyard, this time we delve into sounds you may hear if you were to visit these places. For example, close your eyes and listen to native sounds of Australia, from the traditional Didgeridoo, to the ambient sounds of Sydney’s park.

    Have you been to Europe? You can relive the experience by listening to Big Ben chiming in the distance, or standing on a busy train platform in Rome.

    You know what it sounds like in your backyard, but have you heard Jungle frogs in Thailand?

    And of course, the Big Apple, New York City. Hear the sounds emanating from Time Square or the hustle and bustle of the New York subway.

     

    These are just a few sounds you can expect to hear in the great new app from Red Hammer Software. We have also included our very popular Soundboard function, which allows you to combine many different sounds at once. You can create your own personal soundtrack to play in the background while reading, going to sleep, or maybe even sitting around the campfire telling ghost stories! We are sure you will find many uses for these sounds, that is why we spent so much time researching and making sure we included the very best sounds from across the world.

    There is also a sleep timer, which you can set to automatically turn off the application after a certain amount of time.

     

    We hope you enjoy Sounds around the World, and we will see you at Bondi Beach in Australia, or the London Millennium Bridge, or Vanier Park in Vancouver…..you decide!
