When the wind howls and rattles your windows all night, wouldn't you rather be tucked away in the stone-walled comfort of Herberg Manor, where centuries-old walls keep the blustering storms at bay?

Posted on Wed July 30, 2025.

Ever wondered who's really behind the soothing, sometimes dramatic, soundtrack of the outdoors? Turns out, it's not some invisible wind god with a playlist, but the humble leaves and branches, moonlighting as nature's most dedicated sound engineers! From the gentle rustle that sounds like secrets being whispered between old friends to the full-blown, dramatic "woosh" of a blustery day, these arboreal maestros are constantly orchestrating the wind's symphony. They don't need sheet music or fancy instruments; just a good breeze and a collective agreement to sway, shiver, and sometimes even put on a full-blown percussive show, proving that even a tree can be a rockstar when the mood (and the wind) strikes.
