What Makes Rain Audio Effective?
Rainfall produces broadband noise that masks unpredictable spikes from traffic, neighbors, or digital notifications. By keeping your brain in a steady sensory envelope, rain ambience promotes parasympathetic recovery and longer slow-wave sleep cycles. Scientific studies show that nature sounds like rain can reduce stress hormones and improve sleep quality by up to 35%.
