Recording nature night sound effects in Bali

While living in Bali I was able to capture some very interesting and unique nature sounds. One of my favorite activities as a field recordist is to go out in the night time when the atmosphere changes. It can be incredibly fun and also scary!

Where I recorded this nature sound library

I went to several locations around Bali to capture nature soundscapes. The first evening I drove near Jatiluwih Rice Terraces. In the daytime, the terrace is incredibly beautiful with the lush green rice stalks laid out in rows stacked on top of one another. However, in the nighttime, this landscape isn’t visible. The second night, I drove to Sidemen where I recorded within the rice fields and next to a flowing river. Later on, I captured sounds around Ubud and in our garden next to the jungle.

To be honest, recording nature sounds in Bali wasn’t easy at all. July- August is considered high season so flights are more frequent. Also, traffic noise from cars, trucks, and motorbike are everywhere with the influx of tourists on the island. Once I found a great spot in the middle of nowhere, I’d put on my headphones to hear a ceremony in the distance.

What sounds you will hear…

This library includes sounds of birds, cicadas, frogs, water flowing, and rain sounds at night! I hope you enjoy these royalty-free sounds and can use them in your upcoming projects! If you need more nature sounds, check out the nature category!
