How to use
- Press Play. The page loads a rain + thunder + brown noise preset — you don't need to configure anything.
- Lower the master volume to a comfortable bedtime level (40–50% works for most people).
- Turn on the 30m or 60m sleep timer. The mix fades out in the last few seconds to avoid an abrupt stop.
- If thunder feels too busy, open the Thunder layer and drop its Probability or raise its Min delay.
FAQ
Is there a timer that stops the sound after I fall asleep?
Yes. Pick 15m, 30m, or 1h from the master bar. The engine schedules a linear fade-out a few seconds before the timer ends and pauses cleanly.
Why brown noise instead of white?
Brown noise emphasises low frequencies; it masks low-end bumps (traffic, footsteps) without the hissy top-end of white noise, which most people find easier to fall asleep to.
Can I customise the mix?
Yes — adjust any layer's volume, mode, or behavior, or open the full mixer to add more sounds. Share generates a link that reopens your exact mix.
Why this specific mix
Three layers, each doing one job:
- Rain (loop, ~65%) — the steady masking layer. Covers household noise
without pulling focus. - Thunder (random, low) — low-probability distant rumbles. Adds realism so
your ear stops predicting the loop. - Brown noise (loop, ~25%) — fills in the low-end the rain doesn't cover,
which is where most sleep disturbances live.
Together they behave like a real, distant thunderstorm. Your brain files it
as "safe background" and lets go.
Tuning tips
- If you wake to thunder cracks, set Thunder → Max delay to 30–40s and
Probability to 0.4. Rumbles will feel much rarer. - For lighter sleepers, drop brown noise to 15% instead of killing it —
the low-end cover is the part that matters. - Pair with a 45m timer. Most people fall asleep in under 20 minutes; the
fade kicks in around the time you no longer need masking.
