Highlands of Norway

Discover the rugged and remote soundscapes of the Nordic highlands. Highlands of Norway transports you to vast mountain and tundra regions, capturing the wild essence of these mystical landscapes. Recorded in quad surround, this library offers a dynamic range of wind intensities, from gentle breezes to forceful gusts, alongside various ambiences and different kinds of water.

Norwegian highlands are defined by wide, open spaces where the wind can move freely and often sweeps through mosses, shrubs and rocks with powerful gusts. The areas are sparsely populated by animals; occasional bird calls can be heard as well as the buzzing of insects, especially in wetlands. On mountain plateaus, glacial meltwater makes its way through the landscape, creating soft trickles, hidden streams beneath rock formations and the powerful rush of mountain rivers. Gentle ripples of lakes complete a sound collection that captures both the tranquility and raw power of highland nature.
