About this scene
A full, steady downpour with wind behind it. Heavier rain covers more background noise than light rain, which is why many people prefer it for sleep in a noisy home.
Compared with the Rain scene it is louder and fuller, with wind and a low rumble underneath. Add thunder for a full storm.
Good for
- Sleeping in a noisy home or city

- It is free and needs no sign-up. Your levels and saved mixes stay in this browser.

- Does it use much data?
