Rain sounds & thunder

Free rain sounds and thunder for sleep, study and focus. Live rain from drizzle to downpour and thunderstorms with lightning.

Rain sounds & thunder is a Chrome extension that plays a live rainstorm in your browser. Press play, set the rain anywhere from a light drizzle to a heavy downpour, and switch on thunder when you want a full storm, with lightning flashing across an animated window. 🌧️ Why keep rain sounds in your browser Rain is a favorite sound for sleep, study and deep work. It covers traffic, voices and notifications without pulling your attention the way music does. There is no melody or lyrics to follow, so your mind settles into the task instead of the soundtrack. With this rain sounds extension, the storm is always one click away in your toolbar, right next to the pages you are working on. Key features • Rain sound generator with a slider from drizzle to downpour • Thunder that you switch on with one click • Lightning flashes before each thunderclap • Rain alone, thunder alone, or both together • An animated scene of raindrops running down a window • A full-window tab that keeps playing while you work • Your settings are remembered for next time • No audio files, so it starts instantly and stays small • Free to use How it works 1. Click the rain icon in your Chrome toolbar. 2. Press play and move the slider until the storm feels right. 3. Click Thunder to turn the rain into a thunderstorm. 4. Click Open in a tab, in the top corner, to keep the storm going in its own tab. What the rain sounds like Every drop is synthesized in real time. You hear fine spray, heavier drops and rain tapping on the window glass, spread across the stereo field over a soft brown noise rumble. A drizzle is quiet and sparse, while heavy rain sounds dense and full. Rain makes a warmer alternative to white noise, with the same steady cover. Thunder that follows the storm There is no second volume to set, because the thunder follows the slider. At a drizzle you hear distant thunder rolling in every minute or two. Move the slider toward downpour and the storm comes closer: thunderclaps arrive more often, louder and sharper, and the lightning gets brighter. The first rumble comes a few seconds after you switch thunder on, and every strike is generated fresh, so no two sound the same. These are rain and thunder sounds with lightning you can see as well as hear. Open it in a tab The toolbar popup is made for a quick listen. For a long session, open Rain sounds & thunder in its own tab. The same rainy window fills the whole browser window, lightning included, and the rain keeps playing while you work in other tabs. While the tab is open, the popup shows a Go to tab button, so only one storm ever plays. To stop, simply close the tab.

Yes. Click Open in a tab in the popup, and the rain plays until you close that tab, even while you use other tabs. ▸ Can I have rain without thunder? Yes. Thunder is off until you switch it on, so you get rain sounds with no thunder by default. You can also turn the rain off and play thunder sounds without rain. ▸ Is it good for sleep? Yes. Set the slider close to drizzle for a soft, even sound, open it in a tab, and let it play through the night. Leave thunder off for the calmest sleep sounds. ▸ How is it different from a rain video?

The slider position and your Rain and Thunder choices are saved, so the storm comes back the way you left it. ▸ Does it need an internet connection?
