Rain sounds to fall asleep to

Rain is one of the most popular sounds for sleep. The patter of drops is even enough to fade into the background, yet lively enough to cover other noise.

Why rain helps you sleep

Rain is a mix of a steady hiss and countless small drops, each slightly different. Your brain recognises it as safe and constant, so it fades into the background, while sudden sounds stand out less.
