forest sounds

Rustling leaves, birdsong

The ambient noises of a woodland environment—birdsong, rustling leaves, snapping twigs, wind through branches, animal calls.

Forest sounds appears most often in contexts of relaxation or sleep aids: I fell asleep to forest sounds on my phone.

The phrase evokes peaceful natural settings, often as contrast to urban noise.
