We love the sound of a heavy rain and rumbling thunder for sleeping, especially when staying in a hotel room while traveling. The rain noise for sleeping is perfect for masking out distracting sounds from outside of your hotel room, like kids running through the halls or housekeeping vacuuming the carpets. The addition of soothing thunder makes this rain sound for sleep feel a little more tranquil. When playing the sound of a thunderstorm while traveling, I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow! Don't just take my word for it, millions of other people love going to bed playing thunder and rain noise for sleep. So give it a try next time you are staying overnight in a new place and see how effective it is for you!
