Are background ambience sounds the sprayed edges of audiobooks? Ugh, I really could do without all the garnishing, just give me the story and let it create its own ambience and visuals. I had to keep rewinding because I listen on my commute and I just couldn't distinctively hear the narrator well with that adding river sound in the back. I'm sure it's fine if you listen at home, I'm just being a grump ^^

It felt like it, for sure - I was there squinting, as if would help me hear better, and on top of the river sound, they then layered sounds of creaking wood (for two old trees), and then switched to some sort of background distant chatter for when we reached the city in the narration. I think it is only for the prologue/introduction (at least I sure hope so!!) but that was a lot!
