How to use
- Press Play. The rain loop starts immediately — adjust its volume with the slider.
- For a storm feel, open the full mixer and add Thunder (random mode) and Wind (interval mode).
- For sleep, lower the master volume and set a 30m or 60m sleep timer so it fades out automatically.
- Use the Variants below to jump straight to a pre-tuned mix (rain for sleep, rain for focus, rain for relax, rain for reading).
FAQ
Is the rain sound a real recording?
The rain layer is a looped field recording. The rest of the engine is generated in your browser via Web Audio.
Can I combine rain with thunder?
Yes. The Thunder Sounds for Sleep variant is rain plus a random-mode thunder layer — and you can edit it further in the full mixer.
Does audio keep playing when I switch tabs?
Browsers sometimes throttle background timers. Looping rain keeps playing; interval / random layers may pause until the tab is focused again.
When to use rain sounds
Rain sounds work because they sit in a wide, steady frequency range that
masks sudden noises without being distracting on its own. That makes rain one
of the most flexible ambient tracks you can loop: focus, sleep, reading, or
just background cover on a call.
How layering helps
A single rain loop is fine. Adding one or two layers lifts it:
- Rain + distant thunder (random) — weather realism for sleep.
- Rain + pink noise (low) — extra spectral density for focus sessions.
- Rain + fire (low) — a fireside-in-the-rain mood for reading.
All three are available as presets below.
Best practices
- Cap the master volume around 50% for long sessions. Louder masking is
tempting but tires your ears. - If thunder feels too frequent, drop its Probability to 0.5 and raise the
Max delay to 30s for a calmer storm.
