Spring Ambient and Sound Effects Full of Healing Effects [Great as BGM] (1–10)
The sound of a river flowing with spring water
These are gentle ambient sounds that evoke the softly flowing river in a forest and the birds calling around it.
It basically sounds like it was recorded near a river, with clearly audible water that conveys the richness of the flowing stream.
The birds’ voices are heard from afar and intermittently, which in turn conjures warmth and the abundance of nature.
Set within this gentle natural atmosphere, the water sounds also seem to carry a sense of clarity and transparency.
A tranquil morning forest
Ambient sounds that evoke a morning forest gently bathed in sunlight, with the presence of the animals that live there.
A key point is the clearly audible sound of the trees swaying, which conveys a soft breeze passing through.
The birdsong suggests it’s the morning hours when animals are starting their lively activities.
The warbler’s call, ringing out like an accent, also conveys the season—another part of its charm.
The sound of snowmelt flowing
An ambient sound focused on meltwater flowing as the season shifts from winter to spring and the snow begins to thaw.
It’s a simple track where you only hear the sound of water, yet its light, lively tone conveys the joy of spring’s approach.
The lack of anything overly dramatic is an important point too—it gives the impression that the piece expresses the gentle, everyday kindness hidden in ordinary life through this modest sound.
Precisely because it’s a simple composition of brisk river sounds alone, the scenery listeners imagine will likely differ from person to person.

The sound of wind passing through the bamboo grove
It’s ambient sound that lets you hear the wind rustling smoothly through the gaps in a bamboo grove, along with various surrounding sounds.
