Camp John Hay - General Ambience 4

This audio recording is included in the Camp John Hay Sounds Collection for the General Ambience Series pack. This recording, which immerses listeners in an authentic and richly textured soundscape, was done at Camp John Hay, a historic, pine-forested former U.S. Military Base in Baguio, Philippines, which has now been converted into a popular mixed-use tourist destination. The recording was made with a cellphone and it caught all the elements of nature and humans present at the site, such as the gentle rustling of pine needles swaying with the wind, birds calling from afar, visitors walking on gravel pathways, conversations being discreetly carried out, leaves flapping from time to time, and the quiet atmosphere of a high-up forested environment.

These recordings create a very lifelike atmosphere that is very wide in usage from teaching to artistic work, and even in the background to just relaxing. They are perfect for making the school plays, theatrical productions, video games, animated movies, short films, feature films, brickfilms, urban ambience compilations, travel videos, documentaries, and sound design experiments. One take highlights the environment in a slightly different way than others, providing layered perspectives—from quiet, meditative forest corners to gently bustling places frequented by tourists—allowing the creators to choose the most suitable soundscape for their project.

This set of sounds is for sound designers, filmmakers, animators, podcasters, and all the multimedia creators looking for an immersive nature with both loud and quiet sonic features. The capture includes playing sounds from nature, such as wind, birds chirping, people conversations, and leaves rustling, and footsteps far off as the main textures of the atmosphere that carry the historical and peaceful character of the old military base. The sound was recorded carefully and clearly using a mobile phone, and each file is able to provide a high level of authenticity and realism while also being easily integrated into any digital project.
