The Rain Train
Night rain in the city with a distant train trundling past every few minutes, three hours for falling asleep or relaxing.
About this soundscape
Night rain falls over the city, close to a railway line. Every few minutes a train trundles by in the distance, faint and unhurried, then the rain takes over again. It runs for three hours.
The regular pass of the train gives the rain a gentle rhythm, which many people find easier to fall asleep to than rain alone. It's especially for anyone who once lived near a railway and misses hearing the trains at night.
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.
