Rain on a tent
Rain drumming on a tent, recorded from inside. Close, soft and steady.
Timer
A 2-minute recording played in random overlapping segments, the way the app plays it, so you won't hear a loop. Start with your volume low. Keep this tab open.
About this sound
Heavy rain drumming on the fabric of a small tent, recorded from inside. The drops are close and soft, and there is no thunder.
We used 8 minutes of the original and set it to the same loudness as the other sounds. The app plays random stretches of about half a minute joined with 4-second crossfades and a gentle drift in volume, so it never loops audibly. The player on this page uses a 2-minute excerpt.
How people use it
Rain on a tent is denser and closer than open rain, which many people find cozy. It is good at covering voices and small household sounds.
The app's Tent in the Rain mix adds wind quietly behind it. If the drumming feels too close, move the speaker further away or turn the Tone control down.
Questions
Is this a real tent?
Yes, heavy rain on a small tent recorded from inside, nothing added.
What is the difference between rain on a tent and rain on a roof?
The tent is closer and softer, drops land on fabric right above you. The roof is heard from the attic underneath, so it is more even and slightly further away.
Is it heavy rain?
Yes, the original is heavy rain on a small tent. Inside the tent it sounds close and dense rather than harsh; turn the Tone control down for a softer patter.
