content: I bought this CD because a review said there were no annoying loud birds...well, the bugs are louder than the rain or river and sound like grating metal. The first track is supposed to be rain, but you really can't hear the rain, it's so soft. You sure can hear the bugs! After only 2 minutes I couldn't stand it. It's a little like the 17 year cicada invasions. The river in the second track is louder than the rain on the first track, but there are still loud bugs. The third track has many birds. I love birds, but there was little variety and most of the bird calls were non-melodic and uninteresting. I did not find this CD to be at all relaxing.
