Rainy Mood

What Rainy Mood actually is

One long rain recording with rolling thunder, running since the earliest days of ambient audio on the web. Controls adjust the rain and the thunder independently, and a sleep timer fades the whole thing out after however many minutes you set.

Why it is worth your time

The loop runs long enough that thunder never lands where your ear has learned to expect it, which is why people still recommend it over newer, glossier rain sites.
