The sound of gentle rainfall with the rumble of thunder in the distance makes many of us feel soothed. Perhaps it’s because of the metaphorical feeling of cleansing it can bring, as the rain washes away the debris in the world around us. Maybe it’s the fact that rain means a reduction of water vapor in the air, and lower air pressure and oxygen levels, which makes us feel a little sleepier. Researchers have even found that the sound of rain can actually help produce alpha waves in the brain, which are the brainwaves affiliated with a reflective, restful state.

Like many other sounds found in nature, rain is considered “pink noise” - a constant sound that produces a steady hum in the background, which can filter out other noises that distract or aggravate you.

This soothing track can be listened to while you rest, work, or sleep - please avoid listening to it while you are driving, operating machinery, or anything else that could affect your safety if you lose focus and nod off.
