Past Tense | Rain Sounds | 2 Hrs Of Gentle Rain Showers To Help You Relax & Sleep At Night | No Music Or Thunder @PastTenseRelax | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
The sound of gentle rain falling has a regular, rhythmic pattern to it and there’s a good reason why there’s so many relaxation and meditation videos use rain sounds in them. This is because our minds processes the natural repetitive sound of rain as a calming, non-threatening noise and finds it more soothing than white noise that has an artificial hiss-like quality to it.
When sleeping, sudden sounds can jolt us, triggering in our minds an evolutionary response known as the threat activated vigilance system. The sound of rainfall not only lacks such jolts, it actively blocks out sudden harsh noises that would otherwise wake us up. Rain is nature’s version of a white noise machine
The sound of rain can also evoke strong positive emotions in us and that has to do with how our sense of smell interacts with our memories. We associate rain noises with positive feelings from playing outside when we were young. It evokes that sweet, delicate fragrance that fills the air before and after rain-showers and in doing so, it brings us back to a time we were happy, safe and carefree.
So if you need to relax and unwind, I really hope these soothing gentle rain sounds can be of benefit to you.
