Rain that is made, not played back
Rain recordings are the most common background sound there is, and also the easiest place to hear a loop: the same heavy drop on the same window every few minutes. Here the rain is synthesised as it plays. Each drop gets its own timing, loudness and brightness, over a soft bed of noise and a low rumble, so the pattern never comes round again.
The controls
- Rain: how loud the rain is.
- Intensity: from a light shower to a downpour, with more and heavier drops.
- With music: slow chords from Neverloop's Deep Work, like the Writing in the rain mood in the app.

Questions
- Is this a recording?
- No. The rain is generated in your browser as it plays, which is why it does not loop.
- Can I fall asleep to it?
- Many people use rain for sleep. The page keeps playing while the tab is open; the Neverloop app also plays with the phone locked.
- Does it use much battery or data?
- After the first load (about 250 KB) it needs no network. It uses a little processor time, like any audio player.
