The Many Sounds of Rain (or My Fascination with Rain Sounds)
Where I live, rain is almost a daily part of life, especially during the summer rainy season. As an expert in sound recordings, especially white noise, it got me to thinking:
Do we ever really listen to the many sounds of rain and how they affect our moods?
Some days the rain shower is brief, one of those "wait a few minutes and the rain will be over" episodes.

Rain Recording: The Little Frog’s American Idol Audition
Being an incurable insomniac all my life, I have always been on the lookout for tools to help me relax and fall to sleep. One of my all time favorite sounds for sleep has been the rain. Even as a young child and teenager, I would always look forward to incoming night time rain storms, as this meant I could open my bedroom window and enjoy the wonderful soothing sounds of the rain and blissfully drift off to sleep.
