I've listened to it countless times

It's my favourite "noise cover-up" for work in a frantic office where I need to tune out the other notices and concentrate on my own work. its better than music 'cos its very even, simple and repetitive. I also use it to relax at home and to fall asleep.

Blissful

I had a migraine and desperately needed sounds to distract and relax me. These amazing soundscapes worked well.

Relaxing!

I couldn’t sleep last night so thought I’d try something different and found this and set it for 30 mins and was asleep before it stopped. Super relaxing and stopped my mind from overthinking by focusing on the rain. Listening to it again now to help unwind :)
