Heartbeat
A slow, steady heartbeat, calm and close.
Plays in full, free, for as long as you like.
Its sound, measured. Press play to see it live.
A cat purring comfortably nearby. The sound is a low, rolling rumble made of many tiny pulses, rising and falling very slightly with each breath. It is soft and warm, with a slightly fluttering texture at the surface. There are no sharp sounds, no meowing and no tune, only a close, steady, living purr.
People who like animals often find a purr easy to rest beside, and use it for naps, reading or quiet evenings. It also suits a calm moment during the day when you want to slow down. As a gentle, steady sound it can sit in the background of a nursery routine, played low, with the device well away from the crib.
Layer it with a slow heartbeat for a soft, close feel. A soft fire adds a little crackle for a still evening. If you want something airy over the purr, try a quiet fan. Keep the added sound lower than the purr, so the soft rumble remains clear.
Press play on one to layer it under Cat Purring.
A slow, steady heartbeat, calm and close.
A wood fire burning, from a small glow to a roar.
A bedroom fan's gentle lull, low and constant.
