Southern Evenings (Dark Screen) - 8 Hours of Cicadas & Cricket Night Sounds for Sleep & Relaxation

[@Runsofourlives]

I moved to the city a few years ago and I was on a call with a friend earlier tonight while he was outside and could hear the sounds through the phone. I almost started crying from the sudden homesickness. thank you for sharing this audio.

[@tonyborelli.]

i live almost in downtown charlotte & i still hear this every night from april til sept

[@rachaelriley3566]

This made me feel so much better I feel the same 🥺🥺

[@johnfoltz8183]

Reminds me of camping at night, the best white noise sounds possible

[@1neAdam12]

Get out of the cities. One supply chain crash, and you all become the first victims of that fallout. See what just happened in NYC's Union Square last week? Yeah, and all that was over a gaming console.

[@mirandaingram1048]

I live in Alabama and I was outside on the phone around 4:30 yesterday morning with my friend that moved from here to Vegas years ago and he heard the sounds and he talked about how much he missed it. Also it was muggy cause it was about to rain and the smell of honeysuckle was thick in the air!! I never take that stuff for granted!! I'm always taken back to my childhood by those smells and sounds!!😊

[@jennifermecham2261]

For anyone who needs the sound of the South to fall asleep, this is it. Thank you.

[@stephaniestewart2097]

R ree draw free

[@-Phenrir-]

I fall asleep to this pretty much every night lol 😂

[@johnnychaos3295]

Go to sleep!!! Lol

[@coloradobrad6779]

+ crackling camp fire

[@TitanHammer1776]

I'm sitting outside in South Alabama, it's 2:30am and I can confirm this is the exact thing we hear every night. Spot on!

[@pokethepoke1801]

Yes sirrr. Pensacola here.

[@maxbro2911]

Hey alabama! I’m in central Alabama and it’s the same here too, I use to think it was creepy out at night, like a snake was gonna come up and bite me but now I just love it and if I could camp outside every night I would. Just can’t sleep in total silence.

[@ILoveOldTWC]

I live outside Birmingham, and they are loud this time of year.

[@loganhill2713]

I grew up in South Carolina listening to this every summer night. I moved to Wyoming recently and I love it here but I miss my warm home so much. I miss how the air felt on your skin and the smell of the warm grass and trees. And I miss the katydids and crickets that rock you right to sleep. I’ll always be a southerner at heart. Thank you for uploading this.

[@axhed]

wyoming is really brown and windy.

[@chloe964]

Beautiful scenery though. Lots of wildlife, good people and space.@@axhed

[@marisacarter1342]

1000% the humid warmth on a late night walk, nothing beats it.

[@whatthefridgemagnet]

All the way up in Scotland, but the sounds of the South help me sleep so peacefully. I hope I can visit one day!

[@carolmode7754]

I'm in Alabama. I would love to see Scotland. Tuscaloosa born and raised!! I moved just a little farther north a few years back and the difference in night sound was shocking. It was so quiet up here. Now I leave the windows open most of the summer just for these sounds. There are owls all over the place up here and a neighbor down the road has a rooster that must have come from a different time zone!! Before Tuscaloosa got so big we used to go to sipsey swamp when I was young. I got to hear a panthers scream a few times. It's terrifying because they sound so human but u can tell it's not.

[@krulltheskull]

I'm a southerner living in Scotland! 14 years now. Listening to this to feel a little less homesick.

[@natnatbat]

My mom is moving to Scotland from the south and I’ll miss her like crazy. I wonder if she ever thinks about leaving things behind like these sounds.

[@pinecone8722]

Your ancestors did. And they stayed...

[@_Cato_]

Does Scotland have night sounds like this?

[@sincerelyseven4923]

I love the south so much. This is the sound of my home. So different from the rest of the US. Ya got deserts, mountains, beaches, forests…but nothing is like the humid swamps, hills, and wet forests of the south.

Cum

[@californianbelle9938]

My little one is Autistic and we put this on almost every night before he goes to sleep. He loves having this on.

[@SoundtrackRelaxation]

That is wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@yellowsun3164]

I’m 20 and also autistic and this helps me go to sleep as well!

[@Breadbrug]

Hi also autistic and enjoy this a lot

[@tawnysue620]

Playing this right now for my autistic son and wondering if you have no context of the what the sound is, would it still have some effect. Unfortunately, I do not think so. 😢

[@RyanKingArt]

This is exactly what it sounds like here in Tennessee during the summer time! ☀

[@BeardedDolphin93]

This reminds me of the summers in savannah as a kid, when youd open a window and smell the night air and every so often a cool breeze would waft in a cool you down a bit more each time. I havent been back home in over 7 years and this makes me feel that much less homesick , thank you :)

[@paulasmith7803]

I am from the woods of south Mississippi. This is the first time one of these ambiance sounds has made me unable to stay awake. Thank you!

[@chloe964]

I'm from Indiana, currently living in California. This is absolutely the sound of my childhood. Lots of fireflies, bonfires, dark skies, slow-paced living, community, nature and fresh foods. I'd do anything to have a slice of that life again....

[@Timeandseason]

I'm from Indy too. I can't wait to visit California. I hope it's a beautiful as it appears.

[@lochjessmonsta]

Living in California, and I miss South Carolina nights so badly. Thank you for this. ❤️❤️❤️

[@artparty222murphy9]

Me too . A NY state transplant. I’m sad missing my beautiful fall season rt now .

[@crystalpulido6550]

This is TRULY IT!!!!Thank God someone FINALLY got it right! Ohh sweet southern nights 💜💜💜

[@Timeandseason]

Yes! Sometimes I also combine it with the soft trickle of water flowing..

[@thisissupposedtobeanonymous]

Sounds just like this in Delaware summers too. I love it

[@TechBrosGamingChannel]

I live in northeast Tennessee where we have many mountains and forests. This brings back many memories of camping with my grandparents as a boy.

[@ElenaAshe]

I love the sound of crickets and cicadas. This one is perfect for my tinnitus. Thanks.

[@SoundtrackRelaxation]

You're most welcome! So appreciate you sharing that!

[@jmorado476]

Same I deal with tinnitus and this sound is the bestb

[@JesusChristisGod444]

Same here 😌

[@slapt3245]

I have tinnitus and this sounds horrid to me lol. I have it where I live every evening/night and I have to put headphones on.

[@judykirk8100]

The high pitched cricket sounds trigger my tinnitus so much that the "ghosted" sound, for 1+ hour, is as uncomfortable as the actual recorded sounds. HOWEVER, I listen to this all night, and choose to suffer with tinnitus in the morning. I'm from Massachusetts country living and heard this all summer along with intermittent whip-poor-will calls.

[@avarebeccasawyer8299]

ahh the sound of Dixie...nothing like a southern night ❤️❤️❤️

[@justin1450]

This really resonates in my soul to an unexplainable level… brings me back to the beautiful nights on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Loved going on walks at night. THIS, is peace. 🧘🏾‍♂️

Go back to jamaica

[@XXX_xxxxxxxx]

Hello, since you mentioned it, I'm from Bradenton in the Tampa area. Been here 15 years but might be headed to Tennessee soon!✌️😸

[@littledebbiecakes1111]

Hi, from Florida’s Gulf coast -We say we’re from North (Northwest) Florida where it’s like the South and not like Central and South Florida which is like the North.

[@haydenrogers2302]

Spent my whole life in Alabama and Mississippi until about 6 months ago when I moved to Chicago. Really great to hear home again, great video!

[@saveamerica423]

good luck not being shot

[@FutureFootage]

I’m from Tennessee, and I’m traveling around the world, currently I’m in Saudi Arabia. I play this video just about every night before bed and it knocks me right out

[@adoginacowboyhat8196]

I'm pretty stressed about the future, and I'm pretty far from my home, this helped me calm down!

Good luck doggo

[@danielhettesheimer606]

Hope you are less stressed now and doing better :)

[@moonchild8422]

Born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida and now live in Michigan. Thank you so much for bringing the South back to me ❤

[@_Brohan]

it feels like i'm back home

[@gibby19]

In Seattle, missing summer sounds at night in Georgia. Thank you!

[@enclavesoldierusa]

As someone who grew up in the country, and in a town down south. I can confirm this is exactly what I'd hear either in my backyard in the neighborhood, or in the field next to my house in the country. I can relive the warm dew filled nightwalks by myself or with friends again even tho I moved up north...

[@AJJ7610]

I'm in Charlotte, NC and this is definitely what it sounds like in the Summer. It's sad when the cicadas, crickets & frogs go away for the Winter and the evenings are silent but I LOVE when they all return. :) Great post. You've captured it to a 'T'. Thank you.

[@ianmac3911]

spot on! sounds like good ole NC backcountry

[@taylorcooper5051]

The black screen, the sounds of the south.. Thank you for this. -a girl who lives in Washington, but was born and raised in Georgia

[@problemsulfer]

come back.

[@sarahcritch4226]

Currently stationed in Washington, and have the hardest times sleeping because it’s too quiet here. Born and raised in Biloxi, Mississippi for 24 years. I’ve tried to explain this exact sound at night to people who haven’t been to the south and don’t understand how comforting it is. It’s feels like I have the window open, the breeze coming in from the Gulf, feeling the humidity sticking on my skin. This brought a wave of happy tears and homesickness that I haven’t felt in a really long time. This is absolutely perfect, thank you💗

[@rugrat1235]

Ahh, the sounds of soft summer nights in the Appalachian mountains.

[@rugrat1235]

I still often listen to this video. ✌💕🙏💤🥰

[@tacknup]

I grew up in North Carolina, falling asleep to these sounds as a child. I've been in California for over 38 years, but these sounds are etched in my memory so I really appreciate being able to hear them once again and remember what it was like back then. I really miss my parents (both have passed) and this also reminds me of them

[@marisacarter1342]

My husband and I live in South Carolina and we can confirm this is EXACTLY what you'd hear on a warm July night in the south. Thank you very much

[@Sbamabelle]

I love living in the south and these summer night serenades :)

[@marcypitbull]

This is one of the only sounds that helps with my Tinnitus... Thanks a lot❤

[@kennethwilson902]

So true. Living in Central Texas all my life and in the country, I hear this all the time! Peaceful! But one thing I miss and don't see anymore like I did in the late '50' s and '60's are what we called lightning bugs ( fireflies). Used to run around with a towel at night and knock them down and put them in a jar. Just don't see them anymore. Don't see as many of the big red ant beds like I used to either.

[@creeps4lulz]

We still have fireflies in Virginia

[@JackieD318]

I'm from South Texas, and I was just thinking the same thing about lightning bugs! My grandma's yard used to be lit up by thousands of them at night. We would try to catch as many as we can and stuff our pockets with them. Our pants would be glowing! I read somewhere that they are dying off from light pollution and industrialization. With more buildings, roads, and parking lots being built, their habitats are being destroyed, and they just die off. Very sad 😥

[@nikiwelchel]

Lightning bugs are abundant already here in Georgia, and this is exactly what it's like outside! Love this one !!

[@Jay-ul9jd]

I used to fall to sleep to this sound on hot Georgia nights as a teen. The outskirts and suburbs of Atlanta sounded like this. Hotter it was the louder and faster the katydid songs.

[@tonydelariva7163]

I spent a week in Augusta a few years ago in June and wow! The motel had a creek behind it so all night I'd hear this PLUS thousands of frogs. It was awesome.

[@Timeandseason]

I love this so much. It reminds me of being at my grandfathers house in the south when I was young. God is so good!!❤

[@beedlebeeb]

Helped put me to sleep many times, lots of nostalgia from when I lived in rural North Carolina as a child. Thank you :)

You’re welcome

[@bengesko]

Grew up in AL and now live in the PNW- and one of the things I miss most is thunderstorms and cicadas. This gives me a good hit of nostalgia ♥

[@missmonasuzette]

I live in Georgia and I always look forward to sounds like this at night in the summer. I couldn't fall asleep last night until I put this on. It really helped me not hear my Tinitus. Thank you Soundtrack Relaxation. I just subscribed to your channel. This one will definitely go on my playlist. I truly believe that good white noise like this takes me quickly in to REM.

[@Wealthy77711]

gratitude from Seattle. missing TN

[@DarlingsDomain]

I'm in Seattle from Georgia Same

[@gibby19]

In Seattle from Georgia also same :)

[@theMoonsBones]

Gratitude from Portland. Missing WVa

[@bobcat9764]

Being stationed in okinowa, this really helps me sleep and put my mind at ease about my rural hometown in North Carolina ❤

[@kyubii972]

I just moved away from my home of Louisiana... thanks... i miss this... greatly...

[@SoundtrackRelaxation]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@leila1705]

I moved to Florida a year ago. At times I do miss Louisiana and the memories I have there. But never in a million years would I go back.

[@dawnclaibourne2183]

I moved to Louisiana five years ago. Beautiful, spectacular scenery, but man, it is a harsh place in which to try to make a living. It will test your survival skills and teach you new ones. I have to admit, although I've only been here a short time, I'm thinking it might already be time to try to relocate...

[@littletechn8175]

Im from Pennsylvania, now living in Cali.....boy i miss this

[@savaliciousxo]

Thank u from Rome Italy!! Miss tennessee only for this haha

[@ConnerNantz]

I’m from South Carolina and I moved to North Carolina I cry everyone I hear this sound cause I miss it so much I used to go over to my friends houses at night time and on my way there I was never alone the bugs where always talking to me but I never noticed till I moved

[@shakemamiddleton5554]

I’m from Beaufort, SC and I grew up mostly in rural areas. Hearing the sounds of the cicadas on a summer night certainly hits different❤

[@djh1775]

It’s early Aug. in Tennessee and I’m sleeping in the camper in my yard. I hear the same sounds outside the windows as the ones in this video. Perfect match.

[@mariabean1786]

I live in U.K. and when I travelled back from Nashville the silence in my country garden was absolutely bliss

[@ElizabethTaylor-wv2py]

I'm a wv girl, born and bred and I love this! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@ScootLando]

I have been out of the US a decade now and miss this sound so much!

[@noahpehowic6080]

Growing up in suburban Northern Delaware, I have always loved and cherished this sound. It may be native to the South, and popularized through Southern culture in movies, but is also heard up North and is prevalent in the Eastern Plains as well. I don't want to live in a place where I cannot have these sounds rock me to sleep each summer night. No human can properly emulate the full experience of this beautiful natural chorus.

[@Fire_Marshall_Bill]

Not hearing this at night in the winter really ramps up my already hefty seasonal depression. I go into a hole every year in the winter and I hate this season for it. I wish I had thought to look for this LOOONNNGGG AGO!

[@rhpollock71]

This is my childhood backyard at night. Both my parents are now gone and this is a perfect bedtime story, hug and "goodnigh,Sunshine, I love you" ever ( Sunshine= my mother's pet name for me

[@geologick]

This is exactly what I need all the way out here in the high desert. A taste of home to sustain me until I can return. I can already feel my eyes getting heavy, it's like a lullaby.

[@ColdSkinGamer]

Reminds me of camping in East Tennessee when I was young. Thank you for helping me sleep

[@dionisiovega6270]

This is my go to tinnitus video to mask the noise for sleeping.

[@disastertransport3656]

All my family is southern North Carolina Tennesee Missouri long live southern

[@syrinacrockett8290]

The sound of home. I play this every time I’m feeling home sick when traveling. It gets miserably hot in the south but nothing beats southern summer nights.

[@reddrahvett623]

This makes me nostalgic

[@billy20069]

This is the sound outside my window every night and I absolutely love it.

[@chasefreak]

Had a family vacation cabin on a mountain outside Murphy, NC for 40 years-had to sell as life got in the way and couldn't maintain the upkeep-I'll always hold a special place in my soul for the smokey mountains and her magnificent sounds of nature

[@Chandra_Moon13]

Used to hear this at night growing up in the Houston suburbs in the ‘80s. I remember thinking “damn, nighttime is never quiet!” I didn’t know what a silent night truly was until moving to the west coast. I miss it now.

[@thawkins9999]

Love this sound😻👍

[@chaoticfroggo6852]

it sounds like this in the summer nights here in the north, but rn its winter and all the cicadas are gone. i miss them, this definitely makes me feel better

[@kevinvitualla]

this reminds me so much of my childhood every summer. the music of insects every night it's like a reminder how simple things were.

[@smilinkyle]

I have trouble falling asleep. This sound of home put me right out. THANK YOU!

[@ophelia3904]

i grew up in the deep south part of Alabama and i almost always need the sound of cicadas and crickits to fall asleep , thank you for this video!

[@zoologygirl252]

From the Midwest. A good summer's evening sounds like this here too ❤️

[@AllieMcQuiston]

I moved from Georgia to Colorado, and I really needed this tonight.

[@kathleenhorner9296]

Awesome authentic sounds. Going to run this tonight while we sleep. Thanks!

[@SoundtrackRelaxation]

Thank you so much, Kathleen!

[@Blueroses152]

I love this so much, not only is it extremely accurate, I swear this sound is 8D or something haha

You like the D hmm

[@staceylaing4814]

This masks my tinnitus perfectly so I can sleep ❤ Thank you so much for this! When I first got tinnitus a few weeks ago, I went 3 days with just a few hours of sleep. I was crying I was so tired! This playing through my new under the pillow speaker is perfect!

[@ЄвгеніяБуланова]

Omg dark screen is exactly what I need why people haven’t thought about this yet ty💜

[@deletefundz]

We can learn a lot from the cicadas and crickets, just by listening to their message.

[@amandasmithj48]

Ahh sounds like home.. sweet home Alabama.

[@Romans-rd-runr]

Growing up in the far south of Alabama and the panhandle of Florida, this is pretty spot-on. Good job.

[@damonholder526]

i was feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from god and nature so i took it upon myself to sleep outside on my porch it felt great to hear this sound i almost forgot how the outside sounds at night but it really help me that and seeing a rat woke me up that was my calling forme to go back inside thank you

[@KevinGeaslin]

Grew up in San Antonio but spent many weekends at a cousin's house in a Texas small town. This sounds like hanging out at the pool in the evening with the kids and parents, listening to 80's pop, drinking coke and eating Planter's cheese balls while someone grilled burgers.

[@jackbennett8371]

This really is sumthin to hear in person on a cool summer night in Georgia

[@dejolieesthetics931]

This sounds like my KY childhood; thank you from AZ!

[@msnisar2227]

Listening for sleep in winter Scotland, hoping I get a chance to visit the south someday.

[@spicyt0fu]

Hopefully you get to visit! I promise the food'll change your life!

[@bramblechaser162]

It’s winter/ early spring- I just needed the sound of a summer night, sleeping in a tent.

[@rachaelriley3566]

This is exactly what I was looking for 🥰🥰🥰

[@roserainhannah]

So happy to be southern. I love you NC🫶

[@iahelcathartesaura3887]

Yes! THIS is similar to how it sounded to be in bed with the windows open at my grandma's house when we were children out in the mountains of Western North Carolina, in the 60s and 70s... and surely for centuries before that! Love y'all for doing this up good! lol ❤

[@caitlind2020]

i’m hearing thsi out my window right now and i can’t explain the feeling of it but i know i love it

[@ReaIly]

God damn I love a nice 60+ degree night with a gentle breeze

[@brina_pai6544]

I’m not from the east coast whatsoever but I am so in love with this! So encapsulating and puts my soul at ease. One day I randomly thought of swamp sounds and I found this it’s absolutely beautiful! I hate leaving my iPad on all night but I need this to sleep 🙁 I hope one day soundtrack relaxation can make a Spotify account to post all of these on. Surprisingly enough I couldn’t find an 8 hour swamp sounds let alone any swamp sounds on Spotify so until that happens I will have my iPad on every night 🥰

[@Detcaligirl]

I so agree 💗

[@Fire_Marshall_Bill]

You should come to the south one summer. Find some beautiful scenery with this sound and combine it with , humidity, a back porch, or maybe a true bonfire instead (not a tiny campfire but like a real bonfire), stereotypical rocking chair, a little hillbilly/delta blues music, some bourbon or damn near frozen ice cold cheap beer (trust me), and most importantly (even with a fire) bug spray. It's the full experience that everybody should try before ever once judging the south. Makes for good memories for friends or even alone in a peaceful meditation/thought. Either way when the critters get to singing and that sun starts to lower so does your blood pressure. It works out the problems and clears the mind. it's why I would never move away from my hometown of Chattanooga, TN. I have the method too practiced. Spot and all. Fuck winter lol.

[@slapt3245]

You can set a timer on your iPad, and where it says “when timer ends” scroll to the bottom and click “stop playing”. So you can set it for 1 hour and instead of playing a ringtone or alarm it just turns off any media.

[@ellaj127]

it’s my first night at college in a big city. thank you for this ❤❤

[@camrynsnow6087]

I play this when I'm missing home really bad. 😢❤

[@butwhytho4858]

Same here. If not this, then the sounds of rain, tree frogs, and heavy humidity. Yes. Humidity has a sound imo 😆 Hope your homesick feelings pass soon. Much love from Louisiana

[@ShawnPruitt-j9h]

I moved to Pennsylvania from Kentucky and i miss this so much along with the sounds of the trains. Edit: I'm back In Kentucky. It feels good to be back home

[@NoOneCaresAnyway1234]

🎉❤Hell it's March 24, and I miss summer, I have severe adhd/depression and anxiety plus I was born and raised and still am in the south but my God these sounds remind me of my childhood with no adult responsibilities 😢 I wanna go back to my childhood😢

[@crows_not_ravens]

Feels nice to come back to these when I'm so far from home

[@aprilelliana]

Sounds like home 🧡 #Tennessee

[@duaneholcomb8408]

I sat out on my front porch last night sounded just like this but with frogs. In the back ground ,

[@lindseyirving5215]

Yes the bullfrog just screaming btw I’m from Mississippi and this is what I hear every hot humid summer night

[@maggiessmith]

i moved to a city for college and i miss home so much. the nights are so weird here, not a cricket or cecadia or owl to be heard. i miss night wildlife. i miss kentucky, i want to go home. this helps a little. thank you

[@tarab5698]

You're welcome -the South

[@AmyAndThePup]

I just wish I knew what these insects were called--the ones that sound like they're way high up in the trees. They're not frogs... And when I look up cicadas, they're not it, either. This is such a clear, amazing recording. Thank you!

[@elisha_jane]

Still listen to this, every night. Three years. ♥️

[@kathleenmcbride1471]

Thanks SO much for this song of the South. This is the best. In SWFL missing Alabama.

[@brotherjnighthawk5420]

Saskatchewan is a great and fun word to say 😊
