Studies suggest nature sounds improve your health
The new metastudy, led by Rachel Buxton of Carleton University and which involved analysis of sound recordings from 251 sites at 66 US national parks, found that in areas where there are high levels of nature sounds and low artificial ones, listeners showed improved health, decreased pain, improved mood, enhanced cognitive performance, increased positive emotions, and lower stress and annoyance. In addition, different sounds had different effects, with water sounds proving best for improving positive emotions and health outcomes, while bird sounds helped subjects to overcome stress and annoyance.
