FAQ ✨
Q: What is this place?
A: It's a kind of virtual forest. This website simulates the sound environment one
may experience in the forest.
Q: How do I turn the sound on?
A: Once closing this dialog, you'll find the sound toggle button in the top right corner of
your
screen. Click (or tap) it to turn the sound on and off.
Q: How do I use this website?
A: Once the sound toggle button is set to 'on', you can drag the handles on the volume
sliders to change the
volume
of the
different sound elements.
Q: I'm on my phone or tablet, and the sound doesn't work. What to do?
A: Make sure your phone or tablet is not set to 'silent mode'. The sound won't play
if it is.
Q: I'm on my computer, and the sound doesn't work. What's wrong?
A: If other sound sources play correctly from your computer, it could be that your current
web browser tab is muted. If you right-click on it, you can
mute and unmute it from there.
Q: Where do the sounds used on this website come from?
A: I've collected different field recordings from freesound; edited them to fit well together; as well as stripped them of
unwanted noise (thanks Ville for your help). Credit goes out to the following freesound users, for
their excellent field recordings:
Q: Am I in any way being tracked while using this website?
A: There's no tracking of personal data. I have however implemented GoatCounter on this website in order for
me to better understand where its visitors are coming from, as well as which type of device they're
using. This information is helpful to me because I'm trying to design this website in a way that
makes it accessible to everyone. Since there's no personal data being collected, I've decided not to
include a GDPR consent notice
when entering this website.
Q: I have a question that I can't find the answer to here; or feedback I'd like to give.
How can I
get in touch?
A: You can reach me at hello@forestbath.online.
I'd be happy to hear from you!
