Real rain sounds for sleep and relaxation

Pluviophiles love listening to the sound of relaxing rain as it is unmatched for helping you fall into a restful sleep. The steady rhythm calms and relaxes you, clearing your mind so you only focus on the sound of rain and nothing else.

The sound of rain falling on different surfaces is unique with every recording we make. The variance and intensity of rain noise provides a constant and changing rhythm from gentle rainfall to the large raindrops of a storm.

We record many of our rain sounds in native 3D Binaural Audio to provide you will a fully immersive and realistic listening experience.

“It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents, except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.” ― Edward Bulwer Lytton

What is a Pluviophile?
