Frequently Asked Questions
Calm answers to common questions about using rain sounds for sleep.
Are these rain sounds looped?
The goal is uninterrupted listening. Short, obvious loops can pull you out of sleep, so long recordings are used to avoid sudden restarts.
What volume should I use?
Keep it comfortable and low. Rain works best as a gentle background that masks distracting noises, not as a “loud” sound. If you notice it too much, it’s probably too high.
Can rain sounds help with tinnitus?
Many people use steady sound (like rain) to reduce the contrast between silence and tinnitus. It won’t “cure” tinnitus, but it can help make it less noticeable at night.
Will this work if I wake up during the night?
Often yes. A stable background can make it easier to relax again instead of getting stuck in thoughts. Long recordings also help so the audio is still playing when you wake briefly.
Do you use music or binaural beats?
No. This is made for people who prefer natural rain without music or artificial effects.
How do I use it best?
Put it on when you go to bed, keep the volume low, and let it play continuously. If possible, use a speaker or comfortable audio setup so you’re not disturbed.
What format do I get?
Depending on the product, you may receive high-quality audio formats (for example FLAC or WAV). The product page will show the exact format and what is included.
Can I use this in my own videos or app?
