Many people probably keep a chill BGM playlist running during remote work, study time, or some bedtime reading.

Immerse yourself for hours in the sounds of rain, snow, and wind—an ambient soundscape straight from nature.
This time, the theme is winter: we’ve gathered pieces that evoke the season with effects like falling and piling snow, raging blizzards, rainfall, and the crackling of a fireplace.
If you’ve never listened to works like these before, it might be a refreshing new experience.
Enjoy!
[2026] Winter Sounds: A Collection of Soothing Sound Effects [For Work and Sleep BGM] (1–10)
The Wind Remembers | Immersive Textured Wind & Blowing Snow
How about an experience where you simply listen to the sound of a blizzard to calm your mind? A winter storm is approaching a snow-covered town.
The sun is hidden behind the clouds, snow is piling up with strong winds, and the town is quiet.
How are people spending their time at home? Maybe they’re cradling a warm drink, reading books they’re usually too busy to get to, or lying in bed or on the sofa watching movies or TV.
As you imagine that, take your time and savor the sounds of wind and snow!
Camping in a new air tent in a blizzard
Maybe the reason people find the sound of snow or rain comforting is that it reminds us of our animal instincts.
It’s fascinating how simply listening to sounds can evoke nature and calm the mind.
Here we see an air tent being set up in a blizzard, raised using air pressure.
The sound of stamping through the snow while pitching the tent, the wind and snowfall, and even the noises of assembling various gear to stay comfortable inside—all resonate pleasantly.
Lighting incense and lamps, stoking a wood stove, and spending a quiet, relaxing time amid the stillness of the snow—just imagining it warms the heart.
Hot Tent Camping in a Blizzard | ASMR
How about listening to the sounds of pitching a tent in a blizzard and letting your imagination wander into the great outdoors? This is a video of snow camping in harsh conditions, with winds of 40–50 mph and about 12 inches of snowfall.
The crisp atmosphere becomes almost tangible through the sounds: hammering pegs into the snowy mountain, gusts of wind blowing now and then, and the crackle of a wood stove inside a hot tent.
While we may yearn for adventure, it’s a tough experience for beginners to have firsthand.
So at least let the sounds calm your mind and enjoy a vicarious experience!
Camping with my dog in heavy snow. Two-room inflatable tent. Wood stove.
This video compiles scenes of camping in heavy snow.
It also works as ASMR, so you can enjoy it for sound effects and background audio.
As snow piles up, they drive to their destination and set up a room inflatable tent.
In addition to natural sounds like snow and wind, it’s full of everyday sounds such as the heavy tent inflating and cooking noises.
You can even feel the winter atmosphere from the distinctive chewing sounds when eating warm food.
During the segments with light, cheerful music, a dog is energetically playing.
Fantasy medieval winter night ambience | blizzard sounds, campfire sounds, owl sounds
These are sound effects created with a medieval winter night in mind.
The types of sounds include a blizzard, rustling leaves, a campfire, and an owl’s call.
The blizzard doesn’t sound like a howling wind; instead, it evokes a heavy, thunderous “dodododo,” like a cavalry charge surging in—or an avalanche.
Layered with that are the strong crackle of the campfire and the soothing, accenting textures of the leaves and the owl.
It’s a soundscape that lets you feel the harsh cold of winter on your skin while still spending a quiet night.
Relaxing Blizzard for Sleep | Crackling Fireplace and Blizzard Sounds
This sound effect blends the low roar of a blizzard with the high, crackling pops of a campfire.
At times you can also hear wind sweeping in the distance, making it feel as if you’re inside a mountain hut.
Some people may find the sound of a blizzard frightening, but a blizzard both paints your field of vision pure white and muffles unnecessary noise.
As you listen, you may feel a comforting sense of being enveloped.
The layered crackle of the fire also tells you that you’re in a warm, safe place.
Give it a try as BGM on nights when sleep doesn’t come easily.
Hot tent winter camping in a snowstorm, ASMR
In the midst of a snowstorm, you can enjoy the everyday sounds of a man setting up and spending time in a hot tent in ASMR.
You’ll hear the light patter of fine snow hitting the tent, the crackling of a campfire, the murmur of a stream, and plenty of other natural sounds.
Since everyday and natural sounds are naturally present, they’re perfect when you want to focus on a task or when total silence feels unsettling.
With these sound effects you can also feel the season, so it’s like killing two birds with one stone—or actually three, since you can enjoy the camping video as well.
If you like, please enjoy both the sound effects and the visuals.
