Healing Spring Ambient and Sound Effects [Great as BGM] (21–30)
[Sound Effect] Bird: Japanese bush warbler chirping 01
![[Sound Effect] Bird: Japanese bush warbler chirping 01](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5HPamLTxhOc/sddefault.jpg)
This is a sound effect recording of the Japanese bush warbler’s call, “Hō-hokekyo.” The bush warbler is even known as the “harbinger of spring,” so just hearing it sing conjures up the image that spring has arrived.
Doesn’t its song make your heart feel warm and at ease? I’m sure it has a strong healing effect.
I recommend listening to it during study breaks or whenever you want to relax, and using it as BGM in videos to strongly evoke the arrival of spring.
[Healing] The sound of a shishi-odoshi [Japanese garden]
![[Healing] The sound of a shishi-odoshi [Japanese garden]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cvwHph4bFN0/sddefault.jpg)
This piece features the sound effects of a shishi-odoshi, which you often hear in springtime gardens.
Shishi-odoshi come in a variety of tones, but this work has a relatively dry, sprightly rhythm that, upon hearing it, seems to brighten and calm the heart.
Spring Ambient and Sound Effects Full of Healing Effects [Great as BGM] (31–40)
[Kiryuuin] 1-Hour River Babbling Video for Relaxation and Deep Sleep
![[Kiryuuin] 1-Hour River Babbling Video for Relaxation and Deep Sleep](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oz3jpcRJ1MA/sddefault.jpg)
As the title “Kiryuuin: 1 Hour of River Murmurs for Healing and Sleep” suggests, this is no ordinary ambient sound.
These soothing sounds were recorded by Golden Bomber’s Sho Kiryuuin, who went out of his way to visit a river.
He also appears in the video—full makeup, casual clothes—snacking, yawning, and aimlessly fiddling with his phone.
But close your eyes and none of that matters: you get a disciplined ambient track, with a mic held to the river for a full hour, captured in all its realism.
Whether it’s soothing even with your eyes open is up to you.
Togakushi Highlands: Spring Soundscape
This work captures the beautiful Togakushi Highlands covered entirely with rape blossoms.
The soundtrack mainly features calm, soothing healing music, accompanied by birdsong drawn out by the warm weather and gentle sound effects of the spring breeze softly stirring the scene.
Birds on a spring morning
When it comes to sounds that evoke spring, birdsong is the obvious choice.
This piece is an ambient recording of birds in a spring morning.
You can hear various birds, starting with the bush warbler that heralds the arrival of spring.
Some calls sound distant, others nearby, conveying the gentle atmosphere of a spring morning.
It’s great to listen to for its healing effect, and it also works well as BGM to evoke the warmth of spring.
Please enjoy using it in whatever situation suits you.
The sound of spring at the foot of Mount Hakuba
Mount Shirouma (Hakuba) is located in the Northern Alps spanning Nagano and Toyama Prefectures.
It’s a spot where you can enjoy scenery so beautiful it has inspired musical pieces.
The video “Spring Sounds in the Foothills of Hakuba” centers on a piano melody and introduces various scenes from the Hakuba foothills through sound and imagery.
Why not take your time immersing yourself while imagining the wind and climate of the snowmelt season—when patches of lingering snow remain across the fields and mountains?
Free-to-use sound effects, video creation materials, spring forest, nature, peaceful, pleasant, comfortable
This piece captures the rustling of trees and faint birdsong to portray a tranquil spring forest.
Although there are no standout sounds and the overall impression is rather subdued, the restrained, gentle atmosphere is clearly conveyed.
It’s the kind of work you can let play unobtrusively while drifting into a springtime slumber.
