This recording captures the birdsong at the Bamboo Arboretum in Xitou in the early morning, roughly between 5:30 and 6:00 a.m.
I made a recording here in January this year and found that, because the Bamboo Arboretum is relatively close to the accommodation area, the sound of car engines could be heard frequently during the day, while air-conditioning units and generators ran continuously at night. Overall, it is not an ideal place for recording quiet natural sounds. However, I found the birdsong in this recording quite interesting, so I decided to share it anyway.
In post-production, I applied a low-frequency roll-off below 100 Hz to make the background noise less noticeable.

溪頭竹類標本園, 2026年3月
這段錄音記錄的是溪頭竹類標本園清晨的鳥鳴，錄音時間大約是在清晨 5:30 到 6:00 之間。
今年 1 月我曾在這裡錄過音，當時發現竹類標本園距離住宿區較近，因此白天經常可以聽見汽車引擎聲，夜間則持續有空調與發電機的噪音。整體而言，這裡並不是一個適合錄下寧靜自然聲音的地方。不過，我覺得這次錄音中的鳥鳴很有趣，因此還是決定分享出來。
編輯時，我將 100 Hz 以下的低頻滾降，讓背景噪音不那麼明顯。
