Monsoon Storm with Heavy Rain

Heavy monsoon rain over the city, thunder rolling in from the east and wind gusting through the palms. Heard from under a tin roof, an hour after dusk.

About

Rain Sounds is a web app of rain: soundscapes inspired by 60 places around the world, made live in your browser and joined by real field recordings, with a 3D storm, a layer mixer, and sleep and focus timers.

Popular sounds: rain for sleeping, thunderstorm, rain on a tin roof, rain on a window, ocean waves, a mountain river, fireplace, brown noise, white noise and all sounds.

Scene images are AI-generated impressions of each place (Google Flow), not photographs. Depth maps by Depth Anything V2 Small (Apache-2.0). Live weather from MET Norway (CC BY 4.0). Map data from Natural Earth. Fonts: Inter (SIL Open Font License).

Most sounds are generated as you listen. The ones under “Real recordings” in each sound’s menu were made by field recordists around the world, named on the sound credits page. Looking for one sound? All sounds has a page for each, from rain on a tin roof to brown noise.

Free for now: every sound, real recordings included, with no sign-up and no ads. Later some real recordings may move to a paid option; the sounds made in your browser will stay free.

Privacy: no accounts, cookies or ads; visits are counted anonymously. Your settings stay in this browser. Weather is fetched for the 60 fixed places only, never for your location. Privacy notice
