Careful What You Buy! - Do animals really make these sounds?.......2003-09-21
This is my 1st CD with Tropical sounds. I have one with rain and thunder and no music(Relaxing with Nature: Thunderstorm - Raindrops) and I think it's Great, but I didn't feel very relaxed listening to this Relax with Tropical Rain Forest CD.
ARE THESE SOUNDS REAL? OR PEOPLE'S VOICES AND A CHILD'S SCREAMS!
Here's why:
I do like that this almost 60 minute CD, has no music; however, after the 1st part of the CD, some of the animal (I'm thinking bird) sounds were too loud. Throughout several parts of the CD, it sounded like there were geese, yes Geese (do they live out there too?), right next to you squawking in your ear. Now I don't know what all the birds are suppose to sound like, but during a few parts in the CD it sounded as if there was a tape playing of people talking really fast. Like someone recorded people talking regularly and then fast-forwarded the voices on the tape so their voices are talking really fast and in a high-pitched, squeaky voice, and then they played their speeded up voices as an animal sound. I tried to listen closely to find out if this was true and tried to make out what they were saying, but I had no luck. A few other times it sounded as thought there was a tribe conversing in the background, who knows, maybe there really was one back there. I also didn't like the animal (maybe a monkey or a bird) that sounded like a little girl screaming; it was a very realistic, high-pitched, blood-curtailing screaming sound.
Why is it when there are only a few things that you don't like about something they're the parts that are the loudest and really stand out the most and you can't get them out of your head? I did, however, like the raining parts and the animal sounds during most of the raining parts.
Again, I don't know much about the tropical birds, animals, or forest and this could very well be a legitimate recording of animal and nature sounds, but even if these are the real thing, I didn't care too much for some of the animal sounds. I certainly couldn't get any sleep listening to this CD and that's the main reason I bought it.
I do love nature so maybe I should try a CD with the "woods" instead of the "rain forest." Anyone know of any or have a good suggestion--with no music though?
I gave it an average 3-star rating (right in the middle) because I wasn't very satisfied with some of the animal sounds, but I have no other tropical cd's to compare it to. I guess that's what you get for a $2 cd (+ $3 ship), but if I knew what this CD was going to be like before I bought it, I would have gladly paid a few extra bucks for a CD that I would actually like. Hope this helps! As of right now, I'm not sure if I want to keep this CD or not, if I do keep it I know it won't get listened to very often.
