[4K] Walking After Rain in Boston Common | Binaural City Sounds Sleep & Study | ASMR

Spring · Rain · 38 min · May 2022

An afternoon at Boston Common, just after the rain has stopped. This is its own weather, distinct from rain and better in some ways: the paths still dark with it, the drip continuing under the trees on a private schedule, the city coming back out at street level. The Common handles wet afternoons well — it is old enough to have seen every kind. The sound was caught binaurally at walking height, right there among the paths — footsteps, water finding drains, the city easing back in around the green. Nothing in this one is dramatic. That is the offer. A public green on a spring afternoon, after weather, before dinner, with a city that sounds like it has decided to forgive the morning. Put it on when you want the feeling of having gone outside without the errand.

Best with headphones — the audio is true binaural. Watch on YouTube (recommended on TV).
