A stormy night in the lamp room of a lighthouse
Climb to the lamp room of a lighthouse on a stormy autumn night with this free atmosphere, which needs nothing but your browser. The brass lamp turns slowly beside you under the iron dome, and outside the glass there is only dark and rain.
The gale howls around the tower and flings rain against the thick windows. Far below, huge waves break on the rocks, and white water rushes back. Somewhere out over the sea, the thunder keeps grumbling, low and slow.
Then the foghorn sounds, one deep note that rolls out over the sea and fades. You feel very small up here, and very awake. A shutter bangs somewhere below. Through it all, the clockwork of the lamp ticks on, and you trust it to keep turning until morning.
To keep the storm and lose the horn, choose Without the foghorn under the picture. Choose Calmer night to turn the gale and the surf down.
What you hear at the top of the lighthouse
- Gale at the lamp room: A gale howls around the top of the tower and lashes rain against the thick glass. Plays all the time.
- Surf on the rocks below: Huge storm waves crash on the rocks far below, and white water rushes back. Plays all the time.
- Rolling thunder: Thunder rumbles far off across the stormy sky, long and low, one roll after another. Plays all the time.
- Lamp clockwork turning: The brass gears of the lamp tick softly as it turns, slow and smooth. Plays all the time.
- Foghorn: A foghorn sounds one long, deep note over the dark sea, and it slowly fades. Plays at random moments, about once every 10 minutes.
- Foghorn calling twice: Far out in the storm, a foghorn blows 2 long, low notes. Plays at random moments, about once every 10 minutes.
- Wave on the rocks: Every so often one big wave slams into the rocks below with a heavy boom. Plays at random moments, about 3 times every 10 minutes.
- Shutter rattling: A loose wooden shutter rattles hard against its latch in a gust. Plays at random moments, about 3 times every 10 minutes.
