290 Night rain in the Pyrenees (sleep safe)

We love the ambience of Sant Llorence de la Muga, a small village high in the Pyrenees. It's a beautifully peaceful place but we know the sound of the bells every quarter are not ideal for those wanting to spend time with the rain, the open peacefulness of mountainous quiet, and the occasional beeps of what we think are nocturnal frogs. So, this passage of time is from episode 281, adjusted.
With the chimes carefully spliced out, this piece of captured quiet runs from just before 3am to just after 4am. Heavy rain begins to fall and the sky grumbles with thunder. The rain then eases off allowing you to hear beyond the distant white noise of the nearby shallow river and deeper into the night landscape. You may hear to the right of scene one and sometimes more tiny beeps from time to time. We think these are frogs. The sounds are both soft and yet very distinguishable in the soundscape. And comforting too, for some curious reason.

Hi yes we write about these little beeping sounds in the episode notes. We think they are a type of nocturnal frog or perhaps a beetle and our part of the night soundscape to be heard in these parts of the Pyrenees. They do sound like an electronic notification as you say. Seems nature has evolved these types of sounds millions of years before people ever did! Thank you for writing to us about this observation

Don’t know if I’m super sensitive to high noises but about 20 minutes in something starts making a sound like an electronic item alert.
