The creek uses a three-minute excerpt of Dsw4’s public-domain field recording of a creek in Webster, New York. It was filtered, softened in level, and crossfaded over eight seconds after decoding to make a continuous loop.
Rain uses an original non-tonal noise texture and follows the weather. Footsteps use Kenney Impact Sounds (CC0): grass, wood and snow samples, varied gently and triggered by movement.
Chelan-area current weather is supplied by Open-Meteo under CC BY 4.0. Conditions are checked every ten minutes. This is weather-model data, not a sensor at the cabin. If unavailable, the world uses overcast weather.
Occasional bird calls use a filtered, quiet excerpt of the NPS American Robin recording from Yellowstone. They play individually at irregular intervals during dry daylight.
