Backyard moonset in the sunrise of Phoenix Arizona

As the first rays of the morning sun gently peek over the horizon, casting a warm glow across the yard,I am fascinated by this beautiful sight. In my backyard in Phoenix, Arizona, a symphony of nature's elements begins unfolds, painting a masterpiece of sights and sounds.

As we gaze up, the sky is nearly empty in it’s blue glow. The moon, still lingering in the heavens, silvery radiance upon the awakening world below.

The air is filled with the beautiful melodies of nature. The melodious chirping of birds fills the atmosphere, their sweet songs echoing through the stillness of the early morning. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves of nearby trees, whispering secrets of peace as it touches my skin, carrying with it the faint scent of blooming flowers.

The natural sounds surround us. The leaves rustle gently, blending with the distant wildlife murmurs, creating a calming background that brings me a sense of tranquility. The crickets chirp rhythmically, a passing bird calls from afar, and the grass blades rustle gently in the wind, forming a serene chorus that embodies peace.

In this moment, time seems to stand still. The world around me fades away, and I am transported to a realm where worries and stresses dissolve into the ether. The rising sun paints the sky with hues of pink, orange, and gold, casting a warm and inviting glow that bathes the entire landscape in its radiant embrace. The interplay of colors, the gradual transformation of the sky, and the moon's final descent blend together in a breathtaking display of nature's artistry.

As the moon gracefully bids its farewell, the sun emerges triumphantly, casting its brilliant light upon the world. The transition from night to day is a reminder of the cyclical nature of life, the eternal dance of light and darkness, and the promise of new beginnings.

Rain under the parking structure at my office in Chandler Arizona

There was a rain storm in the Phoenix Metro area one winter morning as I drove to work. The day started out dreary, but the dog and I still did our morning walk as there was a break in the rain. The time it took me to get ready for the day was enough to let the next wave of rain showers sneak in.

The drive was peaceful enough. Not too many people afraid of the rain as usual.

When I got to work, I was a bit early so I sat in the parking lot under cover and just listened to rain drops falling on the metal above my car.

The air was cool, with just a hint of a breeze that crept into my open window on occasion.

The cars passing, parking and sounding their horn made for a subtle break in the rhythm of the rain. Enjoy this calming episode of rain, birds singing, while you work or relax at home. Or as a background soundtrack to your day.

Sunday morning mist in my backyard in Phoenix Arizona

A cool winter morning here in Phoenix, AZ. The rain is a mist and very light. Just enough to cover the sky and make the planes coming into Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport fly a little lower than usual on their approach. Of which, we are in the flight path of.

There’s a gentle hum from our heat pump that stays on throughout the session that is an excellent brownian-type noise. Sure to help your brain do some relaxing as it did mine.

A few planes fly over as we listen to the neighborhood sounds, the birds chirping, and me as I enjoy some of my haul from this mornings restocking run.

I decided to sharpen my hand axe. I recently gave it a new handle and had yet to sharpen it after that. We haven’t been having too many fires so I haven’t needed to cut anything with it.

Now was as good a time as any to get that small job done. Once it’s sharp, I de-gunk the handle from the stickers that were applied by the company I bought it from. Then come back and test it on some of my medium logs that were already cut. Pretty good job if I do say so myself.

While I chop you’ll hear a train horn blow from the nearby tracks running along Grand Avenue in Phoenix. One of the perks of living where we do, I get train sounds daily.

Once that’s done I put the tools away and have a few more drags.

My wife asks if our dog can join me outside, to which I oblige and you may hear her sniff around the mic as she usually does when I am recording.

I continue to enjoy my smoke this morning while the dog plays in the yard, then decide to call this session closed.

The relaxing morning I had can be one you enjoy as well, again and again.

Walk around Las Vegas casinos with me early in the morning

Join me on a morning walk around the casino I stayed at while in Las Vegas, Nevada on a work trip and a few others that surround it. You’ll hear that I adventure outside a bit as the Bellagio is not directly connected on the Mall end to another casino.

I didn’t get to see the fountains going off as they were under maintenance and only working for a few hours of the day.

Enjoy the music as I walk around and listen hard for a few “winners” on the slot machines as I pass by. There is also a lot of construction going on throughout the casino which I was unable to fully avoid.

Fly with me to Las Vegas from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport

Join me as I travel for a work conference from Phoenix, Arizona all the way to Las Vegas, Nevada. A 45 minute flight is really not super satisfying for someone who likes the journey part of travel. This track is from the departure gate at Sky Harbor International Airport until I get seated on the plane and we are taxi’ing to the runway.

It’s a bit too loud to record properly from my phone during takeoff and in the air, so I removed those bits.

Enjoy the banter you hear of people chatting in line waiting to board and as I get onto the airplane.

Ride the Phoenix Metro Lightrail with me from Downtown to Uptown

If you didn’t know already, I love public transit and trains.

Riding home from a Phoenix Diamondbacks game on a Saturday evening. The beauty of it is that most of the people on the train were from the game. Such a good thing to use public transportation when possible.

The sounds of people talking, the announcements in a semi-robotic voice, the doors opening and closing. It’s all wonderful to me.

Walking the dog on a hot night in Phoenix Arizona

A very hot evening walk with my dog. Still around 103 degrees at 8:30pm at night. Enjoy the sounds of the neighborhood. Traffic sounds, my dog shaking her body out and her collar making jangly noises, and the sound of footsteps as I walk alongside her.

These evening walks have become such a necessary routine. Our pup is only a few years old and so has lots of energy as she sleeps most of the day. When I work from home I try to take her outside, but this summer heat has us staying inside as much as possible.

As the days get cooler, we’ll take more walks during the day so she’s not so bad.

Read a book with me and the birds in my garden

The first below 80 degree morning here in Phoenix. While the temperature did jump back up above 100 degrees F, this small reprieve was well met. I grabbed a book and a smoke and went out on the patio to enjoy the warm, but not too hot breeze. Turns out the birds in the area had the same idea and I was serenaded for about 20 minutes. Well, they clearly chose singing instead of reading. But the principle remains similar.

Enjoy this calm morning with me and let it invigorate you.

Flash rain storm on the patio in Phoenix Arizona

Late one evening, my wife and I were startled by some rather loud thunder followed shortly after by rain and heavy wind. The wind died down, but the rain came down harder. I managed to grab my phone and tripod just fast enough to get catch a lull in the storm that then magnifies in intensity quite gradually.

Later, after the rains had past, I captured a beautiful picture of the lightning storm moving across the city. And on my iPhone no less.

To my surprise, this episode marks one year of consistent episodes of the Ambient Sounds of Arizona podcast. And as such, season one comes to a close with this… our 52nd episode!

Have breakfast with me at Hennessey’s Tavern at the beach in Hermosa Beach California

I love eating breakfast on the beach, specifically at Hennessey’s Taven just off the Hermosa Beach Pier. It’s technically part of the Strand, an area near Hermosa Beach that has shopping, food, nightlife, and more.

Whenever I visit this town I try to eat breakfast at Hennessey’s at least once. The food is great and they serve a great pint of Guinness. Listen with me as I eat my breakfast, the patrons around me talk and chit chat, and a gentle calm of the waves crashing in the distance.

This episode is great to work to, or for those who need a small bit of commotion to sleep. The constant base of the waves in the background really helps the mind get focused.

Join me for breakfast and next time you’re having your day break meal in Hermosa Beach, stop by Hennessey’s for some good food, good people, and a fantastic view.

Walk with me to the Hermosa Beach Pier

If you’ve been following along, I spent some time in California visiting some close friends. They live in Hermosa Beach, CA and are less than a mile from the beach. Whenever I visit them, I love spending the morning at the beach by myself. They are both night owls and I, am not. So we spend most of the day and evening together, then I get my mornings to be calm and reset my brain a bit listening to the waves, having breakfast by the beach, and watching the introduction to the day.

Walk with me to the Hermosa Beach pier on a Saturday morning.

This particular day had a volleyball tournament gearing up to start. You’ll hear some of the chatter as I walk by their setup areas and courts.

Near the end of the track, I am on the pier and heading toward the ocean breaking on the shore. Our next track is a special one, just listening to the waves and the ocean rolling with the sand as it breaks near shore.

Enjoy this week of calm, rhythmic steps as I make my way down and back up hills on my walk to the Hermosa Beach Pier.

Ride the train with me from Phoenix-Maricopa to LA overnight

Taking a train across the country has always been a dream of mine, since I was a child. I remember watching my Dad build model railroads and towns, which sparked my fascination with trains. However, as I entered my teens and 20s, my interest waned. It wasn't until my 30s that I rediscovered my love for trains and traveling by rail.

I had been looking forward to this trip for a long time, and it did not disappoint. I was traveling from Maricopa, Arizona, which is about an hour south of Phoenix, to Los Angeles Union Station in California, and the journey was fun.

The train ride itself was incredibly peaceful and relaxing. The gentle rumble of the train moving along the tracks was a soothing background noise, and the occasional sound of a carriage door opening or the train rolling over a road crossing only added to the atmosphere. I spent most of the trip in the Sightseer Lounge car, taking in the panoramic views and feeling grateful for the opportunity to experience this type of travel.

As I traveled through Southern Arizona and into California, I couldn't help but reflect on my love for trains and the role that they have played in my life. Watching my Dad build model railroads as a child instilled in me a sense of wonder and appreciation for the power of trains to connect people and places in a way that no other mode of transportation can. In my years doing graffiti I had a love for trains but in a completely different context. And now I’m able to experience that connection for real.

I plan to use my experience to relive the journey until my next cross-country train trip. In the meantime, I highly recommend taking a trip by rail if you're looking for a peaceful and enjoyable way to travel. It's a truly unique experience that I will always treasure.

Boarding the train from Phoenix-Maricopa to Los Angeles

I have a somewhat newly found love for trains and train travel. In the Southwest, we don’t have too many that carry people to other states. That said, I’ve been really excited to take a trip via Amtrak train and found a great opportunity.

A good friend of mine was going to be recovering from knee surgery out in Hermosa Beach, California and that was a great reason to go see him… and of course be a bit selfish and book my trip via train.

This episode is focused on the sounds around us on the platform outside the Maricopa, Arizona Amtrak station. The train arrives, with a bit of screeching and a sudden halt. Passengers disembark and others get ready to board.

A few of us were routed to a different car as that one had just filled up by a family of 9.

I speak with the car attendant as I board, and then am greeted by my cars attendant as I make my way upstairs to find my seat in Coach class. I skip the seat as everyone in the car has bed down for the night and I’m full of energy.

I follow the attendant to the sightseer lounge car, only one away thankfully. There I find a table and drop myself into a calm I have not had in such a long time.

Join me on this trip across state lines from Arizona to Los Angeles Union Station.

Drive into the office with me from Phoenix to Chandler Arizona

Travel with me from Central Phoenix to my office in Chandler, Arizona. It’s mostly highway so great amount of ambient sounds coming from the road in my Ford F-150 pickup truck. The occasional turn signal or lane-change signal as I turn to get on the freeway or change lanes throughout my morning commute.

This is a very calm and gentle track to listen to while working or trying to fade off to sleep. Enjoy!

Working at my desk for 30 minutes in Phoenix Arizona

Today, I was working on a couple new episodes for the podcast and decided to record while I worked. You’ll enjoy the overhead ceiling fan whirring in the background. The keys on my keyboard as I type away and create descriptions and titles for new episodes of Ambient Sounds of Arizona.

I also have a small water feature near my desk so you should hear that bubbling softly in the background.

Desk work can be relaxing when you’re having fun doing what you love. Listen along and enjoy this episode with me.

Driving home from breakfast on Sunday morning in Phoenix Arizona | Road noise | Driving sounds

As I drove home from breakfast on this sunny Sunday morning in Phoenix Arizona, I couldn't help but be struck by the sounds of the city around me. With the windows up and the cool breeze of the air conditioning on high blowing through the car, I was surrounded by the familiar sounds of traffic and the whirring of the F-150 engine as we made our way through the streets on our way home.

Despite the noise, there was a certain peacefulness to the drive that I found quite soothing. As we wound our way through the city, I was able to tune out the chaos and focus on the sounds of the world around me. The hum of the tires on the pavement, the rattling of something loose behind the front seat, and the occasional thumps of bumps in the road all combined to create a calming soundscape that helped me relax and unwind.

Throughout the episode, you'll hear the sounds of the city morph and change as we travel through different neighborhoods and streets. So sit back, relax, and let the sounds of our drive home take you on a journey through the heart of the city.

Mowing the grass in my backyard in Phoenix Arizona | Lawn mower | Machine sounds | Brown noise

Even though it’s hot as hell nearly here in Phoenix Arizona, I still need to keep the lawn in check. So, join me this week as I tackle the back yard (back garden for some) and listen to my “paint stripes” in the lawn.

The mower gave me no trouble whatsoever this week. Usually I run out of gas half way thru. I’m apparently a really bad judge of how full the lawn mower tank is or is not.

This is a relatively calm track, but as we get going you’ll notice I’m still setting up and getting things prepared to run the mower. It’s a little loud, so be prepared.

Uptown Farmer’s Market Solo Run on a very hot Saturday morning in Phoenix Arizona | Farmers market | People talking

On a very warm Saturday morning in Phoenix Arizona, I went to the Uptown Farmer’s Market. By myself, I might add. Typically this is a beloved Saturday outing for my wife and I. On days she has to work I go by myself and it’s fine. I’ve always told her that it’s just fine without her. She of course doesn’t believe me.

But it’s true. If it were just me all the time, maybe different story, but there’s something about spending quality time looking at local wares and food stuffs with my wife that I love. Enjoy today’s solo-trip thru the market. I’ve removed a lot of the banter with vendors, but not all of it.

Driving my F150 thru the suburbs of Sunnyslope in Phoenix Arizona | Driving | Road noise | Neighborhoods

The weather in Phoenix is already above 110 degrees Fahrenheit / 43 degrees Celsius so being out and about is getting rough. However, I took a slow morning drive thru the neighborhoods of a town called Sunnyslope located north of Downtown Phoenix and was able to keep the windows down a little bit. Not for too long however.

Come along for the ride and listen while you’re working, or dozing off to sleep, or just kicking it. You’ll hear some bumps in the road, my engine as I accelerate beyond a stop sign and even hear my keys jingling a little as I drive.

I love taking short drives around town. Our neighborhoods are so different from one to the next. The diversity in landscape is pretty rad.

So sit back, relax, and lets go on a short drive in Phoenix, Arizona.

Breakfast outside in Uptown Phoenix Arizona | Restaurant | People talking

A few weeks back, we took our 2 dogs with us to the “last breakfast of the season”. Our dogs love going places with us, but when it gets above 85 in the mornings, we don’t take them out as much. They get too hot too fast.

So this weekend was the last of the season.

Enjoy the sounds of people talking while they eat their breakfast and even some interesting conversations about meals and food.

The dogs do bark a bit, so make sure not to have this on full blast the whole time you’re listening.

Afternoon drive and a car wash in Phoenix Arizona

Taking advantage of the nice weather and my relatively not busy morning, I drove out to get a car wash. Along the way to and from, you’ll hear traffic passing by. Some cars and trucks, MUCH louder than others, but all enjoyable. Once at the carwash, it goes by relatively quickly.

The suds are showered over the truck and the brushes start their back and forth, sloshing about and cleaning the exterior of my vehicle. This car wash is special, as they have attendants that hand-dry the whole truck. You hear a little of the young guys climbing into the bed of the truck to dry off the back window and as much of the bed as possible.

Very enjoyable audio experience. Join me from leaving the driveway to pulling back in about 30 minutes later.

Listen to the sprinklers and the birds chirping in Phoenix Arizona

One of the last not hot weekends of the year, I took advantage of the great weather to cut the grass and do some fertilizing. In the process I needed to water the grass a bit so the fertilizer would stick to the blades of grass and soak in properly.

Listen to the birds chirping and welcoming the morning sun. You may hear some helicopters and airplanes flying nearby as well. This track ends with someone driving down our alley and the dogs going a little bonkers barking. Almost cut that out of the track, but after a few listens, I think it closes the track out nicely.

Enjoy this calming session as the white noise from the sprinklers help to relax the brain and the body.

Breezy morning in the palms with birds singing

On a very clear morning, I sat under some palm trees and listened to the breeze and the birds singing their song. The heat is now officially here in Phoenix. The temperatures are nearing 100 degrees F, so prioritizing time outside in the mornings and evenings after the sun sets is how we live our lives.

Enjoy this listen.

Birds chirping to welcome the day on a walk in Phoenix, Arizona

Just as the sun was cresting over the houses, I was out walking with the dog. The birds seemed to take a cue from the first rays of direct sunlight to ignite their song and welcome the day. It was pretty magical to experience so I figured I would share it with you.

You’ll hear the birds for sure, but also cars passing by, a plane flying overhead, and some great ambient sounds to help you welcome your day, focus, or even relax.

I hope you enjoy this one.

Saturday morning at the Uptown Farmers Market in Phoenix, Arizona

Took the dog to the amazing Uptown Farmer’s Market in Phoenix, Arizona this weekend. They’re open on Saturdays and Wednesdays for much of the year and today was particularly beautiful and mild. The sun was out, but not too warm. The breeze slightly blowing, just enough to cool the exposed skin on my arms and legs.

Many vendors we see often, but this is the first time I’ve recorded. You’ll hear lots of people mulling about, shopping and eating.

Similar to the sounds of a busy coffee shop, this track will be great for keeping you in the zone while working.

Moonlit late night walk in Phoenix, Arizona with my dog

Tonight’s walk with my dog was very calm. Mostly clear skies, with the clouds making fun shadows on the ground. There is some traffic passing by tonight that gets quite loud at times. But mostly, it’s quite peaceful.

The wind is blowing ever so slightly, just cool enough to need a jacket. The pup and I are hurrying along until she gets a whiff of something then we stumble to a halt.

Enjoy the sounds of this moonlit evening with us on our walk.

Flash rain storm in Phoenix, Arizona

This was a really weird evening flash rain storm in Phoenix Arizona back in February. It drizzled for about an hour, then like a herd of thundering horse running across our roof, the sky opened up and poured down on us.

Quick smoke on a rainy night with a cat

Had the need to relax extra well one night and thought I’d bring you along for the ride. Enjoy the sounds of a Zippo lighter being opened and lit, the burning of the cigar, and our feral cat that we take care of. She was extra chatty this evening.

Seems even after she’s had dinner, she wants more dinner.

Chopping firewood in Phoenix, Arizona

It was a nice afternoon and I’d been meaning to split a few big logs I had pulled in from the alley behind my house.

A neighbor had a tree taken down a few months back and the company they used were kind enough to leave several large pieces of the trunk for me. I had them drying out in the sun for 2 months before I felt like I could split them fairly well with my hatchet and steel mallet.

Ended up using a wood splitter for the really big chunks.

The wood was pretty knotted and twisted.

Think it was mesquite which smells amazing when dried out and burned, but the oils can keep the wood moist for a long time after it’s cut up.

The neighbors were out in their backyard today, so you’ll hear kids playing and screaming.

At one point I swear their Mom squeels at them for some reason.

I hope you enjoy this short track of me chopping firewood in my backyard in Phoenix, Arizona

Hiking in the McDowell Mountains in Phoenix, Arizona

Had some free-time over the holidays and decided to get out and hike a bit just northeast of Phoenix, Arizona. The McDowell mountains are spectacular. My wife and I used to hike these trails with some of our close friends that have moved back to Indiana.

There were a lot of other people out this day, enjoying time with family on a hike or bike ride. Some taking the Lost Dog Wash trail like myself, and others taking the Sunrise trail up to one of the summits.

Lots of walking on the trail in this track... almost like a metronome at points. I really enjoyed this hike and I hope you enjoy sharing the journey with me.

Morning rain while smoking a cigar in Phoenix, Arizona

Surprise downpour in Phoenix Arizona. Waking up to this rain was amazing and it stayed on for more than a few hours. After taking the dogs out and feeding the beasts, I grabbed a cigar and a cup of coffee and setup outside. The crinkly start to this recording is from taking the cigar out of it's plastic.

I'd run out of butane for my torch, so I used my Zippo lighter instead. A great way to start off this rain storm session.

After getting my cigar lit, I focus the microphone out into the backyard and across the patio. Rain hits the concrete of my backyard patio and some of our patio furniture, while also pooling a bit. Really lovely to have a rainstorm in Phoenix. Being from Indiana, I miss the rain so much living in the desert.

This was a great way to start a relaxing day that was really enjoyable.

Enjoy this as sound to work to or sleep to, or even just relax on a weekend. Excellent white noise and calming effect.

Sunrise with a small fire in Phoenix, Arizona | Nature sounds

As we closed out the year I had some quiet mornings so I decided to enjoy the Sunrise from my backyard, with a small fire. And I do mean small fire. We recently got a gift of a Solo Stove Mesa, which is around 9 inches tall and 3-4 inches in diameter. It's fantastic for some good heat, quick burn, and doesn't burn for too long.

This morning was cool, about 36 degrees F. So the fire was nice. As the light in the sky starts to get brighter, the birds are chirping so loud. You can also hear a lot of the traffic starting to pick up outside my neighborhood in Central Phoenix, Arizona.

Enjoy the sounds of the day getting going and some of the crackling of the wood burning in the Solo Stove.
