Soundscapes can be used for a wide variety of purposes: to relax, to block out annoying noises, to set the mood at parties, and much more. Atmosphere Lite is an easy-to-use program that lets you create custom soundscapes or simply choose from a wide variety of presets. We think this program is a great choice for anyone who enjoys nature sounds but often ends up stuck in front of a computer instead of outside.

Atmosphere Lite has a simple, intuitive interface. The preset soundscapes include deep forest, rainy day, ocean night, thunderstorm, night stream, forest stream, dawn chorus, rainforest, ocean's edge, and woodland campfire. Each of these can be customized by turning individual background sounds on or off; these include rain, streams, campfires, jungle sounds, and more. If that weren't enough, Atmosphere Lite also comes with a huge variety of other sounds that can be added using sliders to adjust the volume, including thunder, numerous species of birds, frogs and toads, and several insects. The program can optionally display a background image that covers the screen; some images are included, or you can select your own. This is a nice touch if you're using Atmosphere Lite during the workday for a quick relaxation break. If you have a tendency to get a little too relaxed, the program's alarm clock feature can alert you at a specified time. The program's built-in Help file is thorough, but we didn't need to consult it; we found Atmosphere Lite to be quite intuitive and fun to experiment with. Overall, we were quite impressed with Atmosphere Lite, and we recommend it.

Atmosphere Lite installs politely but leaves a folder behind upon removal.

Excellent free does the job
beergasMarch 20, 2014
Pros
Clean clear selections for a freebie & alert as extra. Saves settings to PC. Sits in corner when closed.
Cons
None that I can find yet.
Summary
Only tried a few online prgs like this but prefer this standalone.
A good, simple natural sound generator
abcdaaOctober 18, 2010
Pros
It does what it claims to do, and has a wide variety of customizable options to play around with.
Cons
The program interface could have been a bit smoother and less demanding. They could have simply used native windows style menus etc. with the option of theme add-ons.
Summary
<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Oct 18, 2010<p/>A good program, though I personally wouldn't pay for the full version.
Great background sounds to work by
BirgitJensenJune 8, 2010
Pros
This little program is easily adapted to your individual needs. You can subtract and add sounds (thunder, frogs, rain, etc) as you wish. You can save your preferred settings. It's very soothing.
Cons
None come to mind.
Summary
Much better than a pre-mixed, static CD - make you own soundscape as you like it!
Great program.

Pros
Having programmed a few products in my lifetime, I find this one well thought out and beyond reproach. Outstanding product.
Cons
Nothing negative about this product.
Summary
Extremely tight and well written program. I use it all the time. Great GUI, easy to understand and use ... I tell everyone I know about this product and have yet to get negative feedback from anyone. Thanks.
Awesome realistic outdoor sounds without leaving home.
jamxxxxDecember 5, 2009
Pros
Awesome sounds; great white noise. Or, I happen to love the sound of rain so I will turn it on and go about my chores in the house
Cons
Not much. I did up grade to deluxe once..but, it didn't have much more than what I already use in the free version. I'm sure the deluxe will satisfy any one who needs more sound and control over it.
Summary
I love this program. Leave it going in the back ground and do what Ineed to do. Love it Love it
Relax with fake nature

Simplicity within Sound
Junglistic1September 27, 2009
Pros
Being Free, the sound quality is amazing.
Cons
No Mac Version!
Summary
When you want to calm something down, and you have a little passion for simple sounds, pick this app up! It even works pretty swell on a 7.1 channel surround system.
Realistic, beautiful, relaxing!
emshoreMay 27, 2008
Pros
Realistic sounds, very soothing to play in the background while working. (I put my kids to sleep with it, too). Nothing like this free on the market. So good that it's worth upgrading to the full version.
Cons
No problems whatsoever.
Summary
Absolutely beautiful. On my must have list now

Pros
This is one program that delivers exactly what it promises. It's easy to use, very customizable and works nicely in the background.
Cons
Sometimes it's a little difficult to find all the sounds that have been turned on and turn them off. Otherwise, quite good.
