Abstract in brief

  • Research indicates that visual views of nature help people recover better from psychological stress compared to urban scenes.
  • This study tested whether listening to nature sounds versus urban noise has similar calming effects, using 40 subjects after a stressful task.
  • Results showed that while high frequency heart rate variability (parasympathetic activity) wasn't affected, skin conductance levels (sympathetic activity) recovered faster with nature sounds, implying they help reduce stress more effectively.]
