6hOcean and wave sounds
The sea has a rhythm the body recognizes: a wave rises, breaks, withdraws. That slow, repeated movement lowers alertness better than almost any other sound. Our ocean ambiences were recorded on the coasts of Sonaë, from the quiet lagoons of Azurel to the corsair harbors of Harborya.
Depending on the video, the sea is mixed with a cabin fireplace, distant gulls, tavern music or nothing but the wind. The title tells you what accompanies the waves.

Calm waves or a storm?
For sleep, choose regular waves on a beach or a lagoon: the rhythm is constant and holds no surprise. Storm ambiences, with thunder and a creaking hull, are for reading, tabletop games and evenings, not for the night, unless you are one of the people who sleep best in a storm.
The sea and the hearth
Our most played ocean ambiences pair the sea with a warm interior: a cottage facing the ocean with a fire, a captain’s cabin, a bedroom with the window open on the bay. The contrast between outside and inside is what makes them feel safe.
In practice
- Night: beach or lagoon, waves alone.
- Reading and games: tavern or ship’s cabin.
- Sound Studio: wind and music have their own faders.

Frequently asked questions
Do wave sounds really help you sleep?
Yes, for most people. Waves are steady in the whole and varied in the detail, which is exactly what the brain likes as a background. They also mask traffic and neighbors well because of their low end.
Where are these ambiences in Sonaë?
Mostly in Azurel, the islands of the waves, and Harborya, the city of tides. Each realm has its own page with its story and its ambiences.
Are there ocean ambiences without music?
Yes. Several are waves and wind only. In the Sound Studio you can also mute the music of any composition.
