Rain in the Rainforest

Three hours of rain falling on rainforest leaves, with no thunder and only the faintest birdsong, for sleep or quiet background sound.

About this soundscape

Rain falls steadily on rainforest vegetation for three hours. There's no thunder or lightning, only the rain, with a faint flutter of wings or a call from a rainforest bird now and then. Those sounds are kept very quiet so they never cut through.

Rain like this is a natural pink noise, even and flat, with lower tones that cover higher, sharper sounds around the house. People use it for sleep, for naps or simply to quieten a busy room. It's a good pick if storms tend to wake you.

How to listen

Speakers are fineNatural sound needs no headphones. A speaker by the bed fills the room more gently.
Keep it lowJust loud enough to cover traffic, neighbours or a snoring partner.
Let it run all nightA steady sound that doesn't stop is easier to sleep through than one that ends and wakes you.
