Babbling Brook at Settsukyo | Nature Sound Effect

A 36-second recording of a babbling river made on September 14, 2026 in the Settsukyo area of Takatsuki, Osaka, Japan, with a horizontal video for waterside scenes. It also suits nature footage and quiet background ambience beneath music.

The recording is available as MP3, WAV and MP4. The WAV is 44.1 kHz, 16-bit stereo and its peak is about -1 dBFS, very close to full scale, leaving almost no headroom. Raising the volume may push it past 0 dBFS, so lower the gain first if needed and check the balance against your other sounds. The video is horizontal (2560 x 1440) and about 36 seconds long.

You can play it through a waterside scene or repeat it under a longer shot. When you place it beneath narration or conversation, adjust the volume while checking that the voice stays easy to hear.

Takatsuki City's official website describes Settsukyo Park as a scenic park whose grounds are entirely mountain forest, with the Akutagawa River flowing along its east side. Whether this recording was made inside the park is not documented, so we describe it only as recorded in the Settsukyo area.
