Rain Sounds for Sleeping
Rain is the most common first sleep sound for a reason: it is steady, textured, and easy to ignore — it fills a quiet room without asking for attention.
AuraFlow rain is generated live in your browser, so it never reaches an end and never loops back to the same rainfall. The patter keeps changing the way real rain does. Type "rain" — or anything else — at auraflowfocus.com and hear it built live, free to try with no account.
What you'll hear
Steady rainfall, adjustable from light drizzle to heavier rain. Optional soft thunder in the distance — no sudden cracks, nothing designed to startle. Layer it with brown noise for a deeper bed, or leave it on its own.
Sleep or focus? Both
At night, rain masks household sounds — footsteps, pipes, a TV in the next room — under one even layer. During the day, the same sound works as a deep-work backdrop; the Pomodoro timer pairs with it for work sessions. The engine behind it is the same one described in Sleep Sounds That Never Repeat.

- Keep the volume low: rain should sit underneath the room, not on top of it.
FAQ
Does the rain sound loop?
No. The sounds are generated live in your browser using the Web Audio API. There is no audio file behind them and no loop point, so the rain doesn't restart or repeat — whether you listen for 20 minutes or all night.
Can I play rain sounds all night?
Yes. There is no track length to run out, so the sound keeps generating for as long as you leave it playing. If you'd rather it stopped, use the sleep timer to set a stop time.
Is rain free?
Yes — rain is free to try, no account needed. You get one free world to keep, plus a 60-second taste of the others. Pro ($9/month or $79/year, with a 7-day free trial on the monthly plan) unlocks the full library and full sleep modes.
How loud should sleep sounds be?
Low — just loud enough to sit underneath the room. If you can pick out details in the sound instead of forgetting it's there, turn it down. A steady, low layer masks household sounds better than a loud one, which becomes a distraction itself.
