A windy night in the tower dormitory
This tower dormitory on a windy night puts you in a curtained bed while the wind moans outside, streaming free in your browser. Through the thick stone walls, the wind is only a low, soft roar. It swells, eases, and swells again.
A small coal fire hisses in the grate and settles from time to time. Around the room, the others are fast asleep, and you hear their slow, even breathing. The heavy velvet curtains of your bed stir in a cold draught.
Close by, someone turns over, and an old bed gives a long creak under rustling blankets. A gust whistles over the roof and fades. Far away, a lone owl hoots into the dark, a small and lonely sound. Then the breathing goes on, slow and steady, and the warm bed holds you.
For the wind and the fire without other people, choose Without the sleepers. Softer creaks keeps the sleepers but turns the creaking beds down.

- Coal fire in the grate: Coal burns in an iron grate with a soft, steady hiss and only a rare tiny crackle. Plays all the time.
- Sleepers breathing: The slow, calm breathing of 2 or 3 people fast asleep in beds around the room. Plays all the time.
- Bed creaking as a sleeper turns: An old wooden bed creaks softly as someone turns over, and heavy blankets rustle. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
- Blankets and creaking bed: A sleeper shifts under thick wool blankets. The bed frame gives one long creak, then all is still. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
- Bed curtains stirring in the draught: Heavy velvet bed curtains stir and brush together in a cold draught. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
- Gust over the roof: Every so often a long gust whistles over the dormitory roof, howls for a moment, and fades. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
