How to use
- Press Play — the preset loads rain (~60%), brown noise (~35%), and a low-volume random thunder layer.
- For a quieter mix, drop rain to 45% and raise brown noise to 45% so the spectrum stays balanced.
- Disable thunder by removing its layer if you prefer pure rain.
- Set the 30m or 60m sleep timer; the final few seconds fade to silence automatically.
FAQ
How is this different from the plain rain sounds page?
This preset adds brown noise underneath the rain to cover the low-frequency range rain alone can't reach — which is where most sleep disturbances (traffic, footsteps, HVAC) live.
Why include thunder by default?
A low-probability random thunder layer keeps the mix from feeling artificial. It's set quiet on purpose; if it bothers you, remove it from the mixer.
The masking strategy
Rain alone masks mid and high frequencies well but doesn't cover
sub-bass. That's why a thin brown noise layer makes such a big
difference at bedtime — it handles the frequency range where real-world
disturbances actually wake people up.
Distant thunder at low volume keeps the loop from feeling mechanical.
Tuning tips
- If you keep waking up, raise brown noise before raising rain — low-end
masking is the part that matters at night. - A 45m sleep timer pairs well with this mix. Most people are asleep before
the fade starts.
