Listening Room


The Listening Room of Drongo Nature Sounds Library offers to you a selection of pristine soundscape recordings made by wildlife sound recordist Deepal Warakagoda at natural habitats undisturbed or nearly undisturbed by man-made noise, in Sri Lanka and also a few other countries. They are archived at the Library. These recordings made as stereo originals give you an immersive experience (“as if you are there”). The lengthy original recordings, of which these are samples, will be featured in future soundscape albums published by the Library. Enjoy listening to these until the full versions are available!

The files featured here are in high-resolution audio which retains the quality and characteristics of sound present in the original field recordings after mastering at the library studio.  You experience much better clarity and depth of sound than in popular MP3 sound files.

Note: If you have a good pair of multimedia speakers connected to your computer (or good speakers linked by Bluetooth to your smartphone) you can enjoy the immersed experience by placing the two speakers in the manner shown below. This works better for Categories A and C soundscape recordings than for Category B.

Soundscapes – Category A: stereo recordings
Soundscapes – Category B: headphone-oriented stereo recordings
Soundscapes – Category C: Treesono stereo recordings
