Wind through a living forest
The preview uses the same first-party forest-breeze recording available in Yixiu rather than a synthetic noise layer or a musical nature mix.

A restrained bedtime setup
Let the forest sit behind the room
Forest ambience is a listening preference, not a promise of better sleep. Keep it modest, notice whether the birds recede, and choose another texture if they do not.
- 01
Start at the lowest comfortable volume
Place the speaker away from your head and set the level so the wind feels distant. Stop if the recording feels tiring or intrusive.
- 02
Listen through a bird call
Give the preview a minute before settling down. If each call pulls your attention forward, lower the volume or choose a steadier sound.
- 03
Choose one timer
Start with 30 minutes, then shorten or extend it on another night. A defined ending keeps the setup simple and lets the screen go dark.
Choose by texture
Forest wind, rain, ocean waves or mountain wind?
There is no universal bedtime sound. Choose the texture that asks the least of your attention tonight.
- 01
Forest wind for spacious natural detail
Choose this scene when moving air and occasional distant birds feel easier than a perfectly even noise layer.
- 02
Rain or ocean for continuous rhythm
Try window rain for a light, steady surface or night ocean waves for a broader rise and fall.
- 03
Mountain wind for fewer distinct calls
Choose mountain wind for sleeping when you want open air without the same distant bird detail.
Before you press play
Forest sounds for sleep: common questions
What can I hear in this forest sound?
The preview uses a real outdoor recording of wind moving through a forest with distant bird calls. It is not a synthesized noise track or a musical forest mix.
Does the forest-sleep preview include music or talking?
No. The preview contains forest wind and distant birds without songs, lyrics, narration, stories or spoken sleep guidance.
Are bird calls too noticeable for bedtime?
The calls sit farther back than in Yixiu's morning-bird scene, but every listener is different. Preview the loudest moments at a low volume and choose rain, ocean waves or mountain wind if the birds keep drawing your attention.
Can forest sounds continue after I lock my iPhone?
Yes. With background playback enabled in Yixiu, the selected scene can continue when you lock the screen or leave the app. You can also set a 15, 30 or 60 minute timer.
