Rain sounds for sleeping

Press play for steady, soft rain on a window, then set the timer: the rain fades out gently when it ends. Turn on the black screen and the sound keeps going in the dark.

The mix is slow and even, with no thunder and no sudden drops, so nothing pulls you back awake. Every slider is yours to change.

Questions

Do rain sounds help you sleep?
Many people find a steady sound like rain makes it easier to fall asleep, mostly because it covers sudden noises such as traffic or voices. The research is still thin: a 2021 review of 38 studies rated the evidence for noise as a sleep aid as very low quality. Source: Riedy et al., “Noise as a sleep aid: a systematic review”, Sleep Medicine Reviews, 2021.
Will it play all night?
Yes. The rain plays until you pause it, or until the sleep timer ends. The timer goes up to 10 hours and fades the sound out over the last 30 seconds.
How loud should it be?
Quiet is best: just loud enough to soften the noises around you. If you sleep with headphones, keep the volume low.
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.
