As open concept office spaces become more and more popular at modern companies, music is a way for many to cut out the distraction and focus on the task at hand. However, for those who get distracted by music itself, Ambicular is another potential option. The browser-based application offers carefully crafted soundscapes that rely on the noises of nature for soothing, focus-inducing ambiance.
Ambicular currently offers three soundscapes: 'mysterious forest', 'creative energy', and 'magic wilderness'. These are made up of sounds like owls, woodpeckers, cicadas, crickets, rustling leaves, wind, and more. Within the browser window of each soundscape, users can adjust the levels of each sound separately, tailoring the experience for exactly the mood they're in.
