Rain Sounds

Rain Sounds / All sounds

Rain on a lake

Press play for rain falling on still water: thousands of small plinks and fizzes on the surface, with little waves lapping at the shore.

Drops landing on water trap tiny air bubbles, and that is what makes the bright “plink”.

Questions

Why does rain on water sound different?
Each drop pulls a small bubble of air under the surface, and the bubble rings for a moment as it closes. Together they make the bright fizz you hear.
Is there a river?
Yes: the river sounds page plays a real mountain river, and the waves menu in the full mixer also has river rapids and a river at a weir.
Is it free?
Yes, for now everything is free, the real recordings included. There is nothing to sign up for, nothing to install and no ads. Later some real recordings may move to a paid option; the sounds made in your browser will stay free.
