A snowy night by the longhouse fire
Leave the snow behind at this longhouse fire on a winter night, a timber hall you can listen to free in your browser. A long fire pit glows down the middle of the room, under a high and smoky roof.
Big logs crackle and pop, and their warmth reaches you on a bench draped in furs. Beside the flames, an old iron kettle simmers with a soft hiss of steam. Outside, a snowstorm howls around the thick walls, deep and muffled.
A strong gust leans on the hall, and the roof timbers creak high above you. You pull a fur closer around your shoulders and lean toward the flames. A fresh log lands on the fire with a soft knock and a rush of sparks. Then a lyre plays a slow old tune over a low drone, and the long night feels gentle.
To keep the fire and the storm without the tune, choose Without music. For the flames alone, pick Fire only.
What you hear inside the longhouse
- Long fire pit: The long fire pit roars with deep crackles and pops, and the sound echoes softly off the wood. Plays all the time.
- Snowstorm outside the walls: A snowstorm howls around the hall, its deep gusts muffled by the thick walls and the turf roof. Plays all the time.
- Kettle simmering: A kettle bubbles quietly on the hob beside the fire, with a gentle hiss of steam. Plays all the time.
- Log on the fire pit: A heavy log knocks lightly onto the pit, and sparks rush up as it catches and crackles. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
- Fire pit stirred: An iron poker scrapes over the stones as it stirs the embers, and a bright flurry of sparks crackles. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
- Roof timbers creaking: The old roof timbers creak slowly high above you when a strong gust pushes on the hall. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
- Warhorse snorting: A horse snorts and whinnies nearby and stamps its hooves, with a soft jingle of harness. Plays at random moments, about once every 10 minutes.
- Lyre by the fire: A plucked lyre plays a slow old folk tune over a low, bowed drone, calm and quiet. Plays all the time.
