Nothing says “summer in the bush” more than cicada clicks. Male cicadas use a structure called a “tymbal” to produce sound, as a way of attracting females. Different cicada species make different sounds, and Australia is home to hundreds of different cicada species. A January walk along the Mackenzie river in the Grampians (Gariwerd) of Victoria will introduce you to at least a few.

Sounds of the Wild
This is a curated collection of stereo field recordings captured during production of the Uinta Triangle podcast. Real outdoor locations across Australia, New Zealand and the United States are represented. The natural soundscapes include weather and wildlife, with minimal or no anthropogenic interruptions. In most cases, these tracks begin and end at points that repeat cleanly, allowing them to be endlessly looped for purposes of relaxation, meditation, or as a sleep aid.
