When I get a chance to spend some time outdoors, I enjoy the quiet, the sounds of birds, the wind, frogs and an occasional coyote.
Do you need music Or do you enjoy the sounds of nature? Just curious…

I think that there is a lot of things in life that wouldn't be as good without music to listen to or at least some kind of background noise to occupy your mind and help you think. Driving in your car is so much better with the assistance of music and long drives go much faster with music to listen to. Parties also wouldn't be the same without some kind of noise to fill the silence when there is no talking or an awkward moment of silence. I think that sounds in general are all great and let's not forget that music is only sounds and vibrations really. [jambi462]
I get bored by the sounds of nature very quickly. I prefer to listen to music tha t people have created. I know...it is totally wrong! But I can`t help myself. I can only admire You and the peace that You have inside Yourself. Sounds of pure nature irritates me. Sometimes I can`t even hear them, I can feel only the cold breeze on my skin, and then I go back inside the house and put on my music. That`s my story. Good day to You, coolmailraj! [liisafiat]
i do same as you when im outside. unless there is a gathering of some sort with a bunch of people.. cause then the stereo is usually cranked. but when by myself.. i take the time to listen to the whispers on the wind.. and feel the earth breath. [tessah]
No! I do not need music to enjoy myself. I do love listening to it and it can help lift my mood sometimes, but sometimes I prefare listening to sad or more relaxing quieter, music by myself. I really love being outside in my garden. I love the peace and quiet better than music really. I love planting and looking after my flowers and find the "sound of silence" out there sometimes, really enjoyable indeed. [hildas]
I love listening to music and sometimes I listen to music with an earpiece while mylotting or doing some internet stuffs. I also love listening to the sounds of nature but I hate listening to it when I sleep. [keanusuke]
At times I do and at other I don't. Actually it all depends on the atmosphere around. If birds are making good sound then I'll prefer listening to them instead of a music system. [coolmailpankaj]
I'm one of those people that need the sound of silence. I like my music, tv, company etc but I need quiet time too. I love listening to the coyotes at night. Here it's an almost every night performance. Not just a single occasional coyote but a whole large chorus of them. It's beautiful. There is a pond next door to me as well and I often hear the frogs. I love the sound of the rain on my roof and skylights, the wind swooshing through the trees. Natures symphony is one of my favorite performances. [KatieDidit]
I would much rather the sounds of nature myself,But dont get me wrong i really like music,But i have always noticed that some people have a much greater love for music than i do,As though its their passion and to me just something thats nice to hear.On the other hand,Nature and all its splender is unbeatable,Wherever you live the noise of nature will be astounding,But none can be better than the sound of the jungle or can you imagine camping out in one of the safari areas in africa,With only the world to listen to,A truely moving experience.

I don't need music to enjoy myself. It's funny the older that I get the less I need it. I usually listen to it in the car while I'm driving. When I'm outside I really enjoy the sounds of mother nature and even my kids playing outside. [Shar19]
There are times that I need music because I find it boring specially if I am in front of the computer doing my job and posting in myLot of course. It seems like it is so quiet that makes me feel boring and sleepy. It's either I will turn on my music player on my PC or laptop or I will play music in my iPhone to get rid of the silence.happy [bianroxas]
I love music but I rarely listen to it. I prefer to sing my own song.. literally, or play it. And I'm a nature lover and prefer nature sounds if I'm outside. [TheCasualReporter]
Although I love music, I seldom turn it on. You are correct, there are a lot of other things that you can listen to when out doors, or even when you are indoors. I do enjoy music a lot, and for walking, sometimes a good music mix will just increase the burn. [GardenGerty]
I don't need music to enjoy myself. I can listen to the sounds of nature like the ocean, rain, or birds. Sometimes I just like peace and quite and enjoy it. [sahmof2]
Hi CoolMailRaj, I do enjoy music, when I driving or sometimes at home. I live in city, so no frog for me. Beside my apartment, there is a garden for me, that I can hear the bird sounds, the wind especially for this two month, there's wind around me and I can here it too, it is very good when I take a walk in the garden, green grass, small aquarium with some fish, small place for kids to play and a swimming pool too. [my125125]
I generally have the TV on 24/7. But lately I have the music on my computer on alot. [kijiky]
hi friend, i agree with your thought...i am also like that...i want to enjoy the nature and it's sound always...if it is a very peaceful environment i like to enjoy that pleasure rather than listening to music...we can listen to music at any part of time....but we cant get peaceful environment and atmosphere all the time..i too love sounds of nature like the sounds of birds,breeze etc...i enjoy the quiet atmosphere...i have a big parc backside of my house...if i need those enjoyment i will immediately go to that parc..and have my quiet time with all the lovely sounds of nature....happy mylotting.... [socialworker]
Being a musician, I love all types of music, but there are times when absolute silence is much better. I never use MP3 or other music player whilst I am out walking as I feel it gets in the way of me connecting with the rest of the world. :-) Derek [derek_a]
well it has become very rare thing these days...i get to hear only the chirping of birds from my windows while i am mylotting and frogs....ummmmm...i think i haven't seen them from many years, when wind blows very fast, i have to run to terrace to collect my clothes, which i leave without pins sometimes carelesslylol..... music these days has become mechanical like man, either on PC, dvd player or radios are my best ways to listen to it..happy [eshaan]
I don't need music to enjoy myself it is something to me though that does enhance my life. When I am out someplace where nature can be heard I do enjoy it and don't have any music on. Nature has it's own music. I love to hear the birds singing and the wind blowing and the crickets singing their song. It is all beautiful music that blends together well. [sunshinelady]
I enjoy music and the sounds of nature both, but each has its specific mood. Early in the morning I enjoy the chirping of birds but other than that, the sounds of nature are not too many in a city. So I would rather enjoy the music inside my room. [sudiptacallingu]
I actually enjoy nature music hahah so nature music and nature thats what I enjoy if the two fail (which is unlikely) then instrumentals like Kenny G and David Foster will do I have old tapes of both musicians, the new ones I will get someday when the place is sorted out [LittleMel]
I love music. Every morning I am the first one who get my office, and there is no the others there, at that time, I will using my computer listening to the music, I will turn on the volume very loud, ^_^ because, there is no the others. Enjoy music, when I feel tired that is the first choose. [sophia1984]
yes, i am really very much fond of music, whenever i have got any kind of tension i start to think about music, i am a very passionate music lover... [srik11]
I prefer to the musics. I listen to musics every day, on the bus to my school(even though there is 5 minutes' time), on the MRT, when I am reading story books ... musics are parts of my life so I could not live without them. [angel16108]
whenever i feel like staying indoor i enjoy music but when i am bored and want to relax i just walk around enjoying the nature's beauty.. due t changing scenario of this world where sound of vehicles r more than nature's sound i prefer listening music..and yes in the early morning i do enjoy nature..!happy [re2809]
As much of music lover that I am I prefer to listen to sounds of nature when Hiking and camping. When we go camping we don't turn on a radio or ipod. We sit around and talk at night around the fire listening to it crackle when it burns. When hiking we go musicless as well. If I am going for a walk in the neighborhood i usually take my ipod. [ryzach]
yes, i also like same as you think. sometime outdoors,quiet,the sounds of birds, the wind,frog,and not far from city. Music ,FM, nature beauty. [newuser_99]
I always consider that the wonderful music is that composed by the sounds from the natural. Every morning when I wake up I feel so pleasant that I could hear the lovely songs composed by the chirping sound utter by birds at least 3 or more of different species on the trees outside the windows. It is rather disappointed that this usually would interrupt by the noise from the passing vehicles occasionally. During raining days I could hear the come and go nonstop music made by the frogs here and there in the bushes or besides or on the pond. In the silent night there are the familiar music composed by different types of insects. Of course I love the songs sung by the early birds the most. I would like to spend my leisure time once in a while visiting the nearby stream to enjoy more fascinating natural music composed by the birds, insects, flowing stream water, breeze, falling of leaves and etc. This is the best place to get myself refreshed and energetic again. Happy happy posting and have a nice day. [lkbooi]
it just to spend my hobbies,.. when i lonely,..you know emotional,.. [inuceres]
It depends on the day and time and my modd. Sometimes I want to listen to music. Others I want to listen to nature. [camomom]
I do enjoy music but peace and quiet and the sounds of the birds in the garden are like music anyway to me.We do not have coyotes in England but we do have foxes that make a noise sometimes.The sound of nature is a wonderful thing,the sound of the wind and rain hitting the window,I love watching the thunder and lightening storms although we get nothing like you do.
