Why rain is the most-requested sleep sound

Rain is broadband but never perfectly flat: the level drifts slightly, individual drops break the pattern, and nothing repeats exactly. That combination is good at covering irregular household noise while still being predictable enough that your brain stops tracking it.

A lot of "10 hour rain" videos are a short clip on a loop, with an audible join and a pre-roll ad. Here a real rain recording is layered with drops generated in real time, so the pattern never repeats exactly, nothing buffers and nothing starts with an advertisement. Layer brown noise underneath if you want a heavier, stormier bed of sound.

Questions people ask

Can I leave rain sounds playing all night?

Yes — choose "No timer" and it runs until you close the tab. If you prefer it to switch off, pick a timer from 15 minutes to 8 hours; the volume fades gradually at the end.

Is there thunder?

The default rain layer has no thunder. For a storm, pick the Thunderstorm tile. Many people find sudden cracks of thunder disruptive, so they are kept separate.

Will this work with my phone screen off?

Behaviour depends on the mobile browser: some keep audio playing when the screen locks, others pause the tab. On a laptop it will keep playing as long as the tab stays open.
