About this sound
A campfire has a low, steady background with sudden little crackles and pops. The mix of constant and irregular sound is what gives it its character.
Why parents use it
Many toddlers and adults find the crackle very comforting and good for winding down. The pops are small and soft, but they are not steady. For young babies, that can be too much variety.
Good for
- Toddlers who enjoy cozy sounds

- Quiet play and bedtime stories
Using it safely
- For babies who wake at small sounds, choose a steadier option such as white noise.
- Keep the volume low. Crackles can sound sharper than they are.
