Rain and Thunder Sounds for Sleep
A storm you don't have to hide from is one of the coziest sounds there is. Rain & Thunder pairs steady rainfall with soft, faraway rumble — the kind of weather that makes a bed feel warmer. Here's what this sound is like, and how to tune the storm in the app.
What it sounds like
Underneath: the same steady rain as the Rain sound — full, even, and soft. Over the top: thunder that stays at a distance, arriving as a low, slow roll rather than a sudden crack. The drama is in the atmosphere, not in jumpscares.
If you enjoy the rumble but want it even fainter, the library also has a standalone Thunder sound, so you can mix exactly as much storm as you like — or none at all.
When to reach for it
Deep, cocooned sleep
The low-frequency rumble adds weight under the rain, which many people find makes a room feel sealed off from the world.
Masking deep noises
Thunder's low end helps cover sounds plain rain can't — rumbling trucks, doors shutting downstairs, a partner moving around.
Stormy-day nostalgia
If you sleep best when it's raining outside, this is the closest thing on a clear night. Set the timer and let the storm pass quietly.
Long reading evenings
A distant storm is a classic companion for a slow book. Keep the thunder low and the rain steady, and the hours go quiet.
Mix it your way
The mixer lets you control the storm's intensity: keep Rain & Thunder as the base, then raise or lower the separate Thunder layer to taste. Some people like thunder barely audible; others want it rolling through every few minutes. Save the blend once it feels like your storm.
