Soil texture
Sandy soil adds a fine, airy grain; clay softens the high tones; rocky ground adds sharper texture; loam balances the layers; peat gives them a deeper, softer quality.

Choose the geological and atmospheric characteristics of your environment and discover how your planet sounds.
Every sound here is an algorithmic artistic interpretation, not a field recording or measured acoustic property.
Each setting changes a part of the synthesized soundscape. These are creative mappings to help you hear differences between environments.
Sandy soil adds a fine, airy grain; clay softens the high tones; rocky ground adds sharper texture; loam balances the layers; peat gives them a deeper, softer quality.
Rock selection changes the resonant tone: granite and marble sound clearer, basalt sounds lower, limestone smoother, sandstone grainier, and slate crisper.
Temperature controls the main tone's pitch. Warmer settings raise it; colder settings lower it.
Precipitation sets how often short, rain-like tones appear. More rain creates a denser pattern.
Humidity changes the filtering of the texture, making the sound softer and more blended as it rises.
Wind adds a filtered, airy noise layer. Higher speeds make that layer more pronounced.
Pressure shifts a quiet background tone, subtly changing the soundscape's sense of depth.
Presets are illustrative environmental profiles, not measured locations.
