Environments for Positive User Reviews
✓ This is a real gemI seldom (if not never) write a review but this app is simply a gem. They are real ambient recordings engineered and stored in a simple but sublime way. I especially like its Central Park recording, which reminds me of the good old days when I first came to New York City and lived near the park....Version: 1.4
✓ HeardI had no idea who Irv Treibel was until I saw his name on a Numero Group Instagram post. Turns out Irv is exactly who I need in my life. I spend hundreds of hours per year on airplanes trying to ignore/drown out/avoid the din of travel - and this app is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for. Often I’m working and music can get distracting, or sleeping and it’s the same thing. Coupled with my Bose noise cancelling headphones - this app has made me super happy..Version: 1.2
✓ Long tracks, no loopsExcellent quality of natural sounds; rain storms, country Meadows, nights. Vintage recordings sound amazing on headphones. Lots of value for the price..Version: 1.6
✓ Stunning.I’ve never bought an app so fast. Beautiful recordings. Thanks..Version: 1.2
✓ Natural and varied sound, not repetitiveThis app is perfect for my needs. I hate silence. These curated sound recordings are about an hour long and include a lot of natural variation. Other apps have sounds on a loop, which doesn’t sound real. With this I feel I am in touch with nature as fell appreciation for the sound artist who put this together..Version: 1.6
✓ Good app/needs a tweakI love the app, so does everyone that learns about it. But it badly needs two fixes: 1. The infinite loop button doesn’t work 2. Every time a text or phone call come in, the track does not come back on once the notification is finished. I need to manually go to my device and press play again.Version: 1.2
✓ Please Add Ability to Use AlarmI love this app. Please add the ability to use it as an alarm like you can do with Pandora, for example. I would love to use these sounds as a morning alarm-would be so much better than the built-in phone ringtones or music from my playlist..Version: 1.4
✓ Great sounds and choiceI like the favorites lost that can be created. The low freq wind-chimes are very relaxing as is the soft surf sounds. And the arctic cold actually helps make environment feel cooler. Good for the price and very good for quality and ease of use..Version: 1.6
✓ Highly recommended!I love this app! Listening to the soothing, calming sounds of ocean waves from the ultimate seashore is the perfect way to get a good night’s sleep..Version: 1.4
✓ Stunning & usefulPerfect! Great for yoga, easing the mind during illness or pain, calming a fussy baby, quieting or focusing the mind. Beautifully designed and easy to use!.Version: 1.2
✓ Unique soundsI enjoy ambient sounds in general. This app is different than the others I have. Easy to use and unique it is well worth the cost. I appreciate the story behind the tracks—lots of work and love went into each recording. It sounds like I have the windows open in my house now even when the weather doesn’t allow..Version: 1.4
✓ At last!As an enthusiastic previous owner of the Environments LPs, I spent the past few decades searching for digital versions of these recordings. Finally found them here and they are exactly as I remember them: Richly detailed, incredibly evocative recordings that transport you. For meditation, background to work, falling asleep, or just firing your imagination, these are the soundscapes to buy..Version: 1.6
✓ I knew Irv Teibel!Many long years ago in Austin, a magazine sent me to do an article on Irv Teibel and his recordings. He was a fascinating, delightful gentleman, very generous of time and spirit, and we stayed in touch for years. I still have the albums he gave me, and his thunderstorms have always been my favorite companions when I need to concentrate or rest. I’m thrilled to find his recordings have become so very easily accessible in app form, and that Irv’s memory lives on in them! ❤️.Version: 1.4
✓ Should add speed adjustmentsI love reading about the field recording and Teibal’s techniques/influence, but would be great to be able to adjust the speed as he intended with the original LPs..Version: 1.4
✓ The bestI don’t write many reviews but wanted to take the time for this one. I love sounds of nature and enjoy any moments I can hear it in real life. With my work schedule it’s hard. I have downloaded many apps to help me relax. Always disappointed. This one is just what I was looking for. The sounds are clear and not looped. Well worth $3..Version: 1.4
✓ Look no more for a nature sounds app!This is everything I have been looking for in a nature sounds app! Very straightforward and easy to use. Press play and walk away. I absolutely love it!.Version: 1.4
✓ Fabulous for Business TravelWhen I use this app, I stop hearing all the hotel noise. It also helps me relax by visualizing the beach or the thunderstorm and that slips into my dreaming about the beach or vacation thunderstorms. The longer lengths are great. You can set it to loop indefinitely..Version: 1.4
✓ Great app, I'd personally like a few minor tweaksI really love the concept of the app! I had been starting to collect the LPs although rarely played them but use the app most every night. A few improvements would be great. First a dedicated button to the track list would be helpful rather than swiping through. Also since many of these field recordings feature chirping birds they don't make the best sleep sounds, however they would be perfect in the morning if the app could be developed to include an alarm function..Version: 1.2
✓ Thank you for making thisWish I found this sooner because I have been using another sound app for bedtime but the sounds and the vibes of the photos puts this app on another level. It’s just perfect and it’s super cheap for the quality and the amount of content you get.Version: 1.6
✓ THE app for relaxation and sleep assistanceIf you’re like me, silence is deafening. I can’t fall asleep at night without some sort of white noise/sfx type thing playing. During the day, i need the same sorts of thing to quiet my mind. This is the best app of its kind, hands down. Besides having hours and hours of beautiful, natural sounding audio recordings of unique and varied environments (hence the name of the app), as well as a few new age and proto ambient pieces, the interface is dead simple to use. Make playlists of your favorite sound recordings (each one over 30 minutes long), play any one recording on a loop, and get the background behind this unique collection of recordings (all made on analog equipment back in the ‘70s). All that and more for one low price, paid one time, and then you have an ad-free app to enjoy for as long as you’d like. I cannot recommend this app enough!.Version: 1.0
✓ EnvironmentsGreat application. I first heard about these recordings more than 40 years ago. I remember falling to sleep to the ocean shoreline album when I was a teenager. I love the cornfield sounds, rain storms, ocean waves and the blizzard recordings. I have recommended this app to several people looking for relaxing, meditative music. Five stars..Version: 1.6
✓ An Impressive CollectionExcellent as a white noise and background track without being distracting, but also can create a soothing atmosphere when you are in need of a change of environment or to concentrate on work. Also good mood music for writing, you can change your audial environment to suit the scenes you're writing, so it can inspire you and give you cues to write about..Version: 1.4
✓ Another hit from the Numero GroupNumero Group have constantly been innovators in the reissue game. Innovators both in the work that they reissue but also in the form in which they release it. From records with hardback books of photography to LP/DVD sets celebrating short live dance TV shows, they’ve done it all. And they’ve carefully matched the form to the content. Reissuing these historically important field recordings as an app continues that trend. This will allow new generations of people to fall asleep or meditate to these masterpieces. And it’s a well made app, too..Version: 1.2
✓ Waited 20 Years For This App!!!I’ve been a fan of Syntonic Research and Irv Teibel since my introduction to these Environments recordings in the early 1980’s. These recordings are the standard all other environmental recordings are measured against. At $2.99 for all 22 recordings, this is an absolute steal! Cheaper than one cassette in the 1980’s! Everyone needs this App!!!.Version: 1.4
✓ I Normally Don’t Do ThisRarely do I review anything. However this app is an exception. A lovely idea flawlessly executed! Do yourself a huge favor and get it..Version: 1.2
✓ Wonderful app but the first couple of recordings should have different playing speed optionsI love the environments series but the first couple of recordings can be played at 16 and 78 rpm as well and it unfortunate that that option is not available for listeners to utilize.Version: 1.4
✓ Tried finding an alternative but this is the real dealBefore finding this app, I had been looking for the recordings online or something like it for years to no avail. I had one of these records when I was a teenager and wished I still had it. I’ve tried lots of other options, but the recordings were short or had music playing over them and nothing came close to the Environments experience. And now I have found the real deal. These are especially great to listen to when you are driving as it takes all the anxiety and frustration away. Thank you for bring these back to us in a modern format!.Version: 1.4
✓ Wonderful yet loudI enjoy the tracks here. I noticed how the tracks are set at a high output level so it’s difficult to play them quietly on my iPhone. I would love to see an update where the tracks were at a lower output or the app had a volume control..Version: 1.6
✓ Great for calm & focusI love that this isn’t short clips of synthetic sounds but actual long form field recordings...without ads! I’m a writer and this has been great for me to work with in the headphones. It really helps create a state of calm focus. Can’t wait to use it on an airplane. Thanks to the developers for making a simple and pure ambient sound app..Version: 1.0
✓ Beautifully designed, meticulously recorded soundscapesBeautiful reintroduction of the Environments LP series. Meditative and calming high-quality soundscapes..Version: 1.4
✓ Fantastic presentation of these fantastic recordingsI gotta hand it to the Numero Group, this app is great. When acquiring the Environments series, rather than doing a CD/Vinyl/Download reissue like their other releases, they had the thought to update for the 21st century and make an app. 22 long form, stereo analogue audio recordings of nature await you here. Is this fewer than other white noise apps? Yes, but what those lack is length, and quality. Also included here is a brief history of Irv Teibel, and the Environments series, which is nice (but if you’re looking for more, check out the Atlas Obscura article. Turns out the Environments series was one of the first audio recordings to be edited on a computer. A big analogue mainframe one, but a computer none the less). I have two small nitpicks: The audio mix on the recordings is a little hot. As I write this I’m listening to “A Country Stream”, and have my volume at roughly 15%, and it’s still really loud. A recent update adds front and back LP cover art scans, which is fantastic, but sadly there’s no way to make the pictures larger to read the original write ups for each recording. But really that’s it. It’s a phenomenal app..Version: 1.4
✓ Pocket meditationI sleep with a white noise machine. I might as well leave a vacuum running. Environments taps into something deeper. Imagine your device reducing your stress for once..Version: 1.0
✓ Sensitivity area of “Play” button to be improvedGreate app and sounds. One downside though. Sensitivity area of navigation buttons “Play” and “Information” should be improved. Very easy to miss even with fairly precise touches..Version: 1.4
✓ Numero Group does it again.While I’m not familiar with many other instances of a musical release being (re-)issued as an app, this shows the promise in the format. The field recordings foot to an app spectacularly well, and the app itself features straightforward navigation and additional context surrounding the person behind the recordings. Well done Numero!.Version: 1.0
✓ I sleep like a baby nowSome night I sleep to a summer rain storm; other nights I let the sounds of the ocean waves caress me to sleep. This app has provided me with the best nights of sleep that I have had in years..Version: 1.2
✓ Incredible immersive sounds - worth the $3!I bought this app 5 minutes ago and I already feel more relaxed. The ocean sound I’m listening to right now makes me feel like I’m sitting on the Maine coast watching the tide come in! There’s even an occasional foghorn (and no weird fake-sounding seagulls, which is a feature that’s always bothered me in other nature sound apps). I don’t think I’ve ever reviewed an app before, but I just like this one so much..Version: 1.6
✓ Beautiful SoundsI love this app, I was worried I might be disappointed by the sound quality despite the good reviews but I’m happy to report it is just as gorgeous as I hoped. I’ll definitely be using this app everyday. I’m in school and really wanted music for background noise when I study and this is perfect..Version: 1.4
✓ Pays you backThese recordings of actual natural sounds are unlike anything a computer generates using algorithms or even guided by humans. The app will pay you back the first time you use it! Luscious soundscapes for relaxation, motivation, sleep, wake and everything else!.Version: 1.5
✓ Truly wonderful, needs Chromecast supportAs fantastic as it is, I’m giving this app 4 instead of 5 stars because it lacks Chromecast support. If you’re making an audio app in 2018, you’ve got to at least throw a bone to the millions of people who aren’t completely bought in to the Appleverse..Version: 1.4
✓ SublimeBest thing I’ve downloaded in years. Absolutely beautiful. I hope there will be more recordings released in the future..Version: 1.4
✓ Beautiful, long and deepOne of the things I can’t stand in many nature sound apps or nature recordings these days is the obnoxious overlaying of tacky spa music, or clips that only last 4 or 5 minutes, or ones that are clearly faked with overlay after overlay of separate sounds. This is the real thing. Unvarnished, uninterrupted, unaltered and majestic. Well worth the tiny cost. Not only are these recordings deeply calming and helpful as background for contemplative work or study, but they are time capsules of an environments that are tragically swiftly disappearing. Buy this, if only to honor the great craftsman who made them and captured these aural worlds for posterity..Version: 1.4
✓ FinallyThis is the atmospheric app I have been waiting for! no cheesy loops. Deep authentic Sounds. Navigation is easy and intuitive. I couldn’t be happier about this. As a meditation facilitator I find this an indispensable tool for guiding relaxing sits, and I find I use it personally to help unwind for the hectic noise of everyday living..Version: 1.0
✓ Wonderful app!This is a perfect way to chill out. Wonderful sounds of nature. Do yoga with these sounds. Brilliant idea to get it all in an app. Enjoy..Version: 1.0
✓ EssentialExcellent with high quality headphones. Looking forward to more well done tracks and hi res audio. Also navigation needs to be simplify..Version: 1.5
✓ Beautifully presentedThis elegant app is the perfect home for Environments, the only nature music series that is required listening for music fans. Great for drifting off, tuning out anxieties, or disguising commute noise..Version: 1.1
✓ A great way to discover Irv TeibelThe recordings are truly special, it’s a great experience. It can be a tool to relax or to fight insomnia. But it’s also great just for hearing a snow storm sitting comfortably at home. Very immersive..Version: 1.1
✓ Sonically SuperbAs a childhood listener of the Environments album series, I was pleased to find that the Numero Group had resurrected these recordings in the form of an app. It’s a creative endeavor and also very practical. The nature and loopability of these long form recordings lend themselves well to the format. I’ve used this app a lot over the past few years, putting my baby boy and myself to sleep and naptime and bedtime. He loves to look at the landscapes that accompany each track. Worth every penny and more..Version: 1.6
✓ Nearly #1 worthyAdd easy access to the track list and the ability to scroll through each recording. the flawless quality of the recordings warrants a flawless UI - and it’s not that complicated!.Version: 1.4
✓ Thrilled to have these back againI owned the entire set on vinyl back in the 70s, and loved them. I’m thrilled to have them again. They remain far superior to any of the many similar sound sets I have tried. If you like environmental sounds, you’ll love these. Highly recommended..Version: 1.6
