Be in the middle of Nature without leaving your home.
Sounding Nature: Rain & Thunder is an immersive sound experience built from real rain and thunder recordings, captured on location using ambisonic spatial audio techniques. It is part of the Sounding Nature series, it explores how natural sound environments can support calm, focus but also reconnect us with nature.
By listening to nature in immersive audio, the mind is given space to slow down, external distractions are softened, there is natural connection to the sound.. Rain and distant thunder form a continuous, non-intrusive sound field that many people use for relaxation, deep focus, or winding down.
This experience is recorded in real places with real sound. It sits at the intersection of sound art, field recording, and immersive well-being: inviting you to listen closely, stay present, and reconnect with the acoustic world around you.

The Benefits of listening to Nature Sounds
Research shows that nature sounds like rain and thunder can reduce stress, restore focus, and support emotional regulation. This is one reason we’re building the Sounding Nature series by using immersive sound as a tool for immersive well-being.
*The benefits we mention are based on our research and personal experience with sound.
+ What happens
The steady rhythm of rain and the distant movement of thunder create a continuous, natural sound field. Your attention softens, external distractions fade, and your body gradually shifts into a calmer state. Because the sound is captured in 3D audio, space and depth are perceived intuitively as if you’re inside the landscape rather than listening to it. Breathing often slows, and the mind becomes less reactive.
+ Results
A sense of calm and grounding
Reduced mental noise and stress
Gentle, sustained focus
Easier transitions into rest or sleep
A subtle feeling of connection with nature, even indoors
Use Cases
Meditation and breathing practices
Background sound for focus or study
Relaxation before sleep
Stress relief after a busy day
Enhance creativity or quiet reflection
More information
This is not a medical or therapeutic product. Sounding Nature experiences are designed as supportive, immersive listening environments and are best used intuitively, at a comfortable volume, and in moments that feel right to you.
"We have very beautiful bad weather here at present - rain, wind, thunder - but with splendid effects; that's why I like it."

IMMERSIVE AUDIO NATURE SOUNDSCAPE
SOUNDING NATURE:
RAIN & THUNDER
Rain & thunder captured and played back as immersive audio, for headphones and multichannel systems
What happens when you listen
The steady rhythm of rain combined with distant thunder creates a natural auditory pattern that the brain recognises as non-threatening and familiar. This can gently shift the nervous system away from alertness and into a calmer, more receptive state.
Relaxing
Unlike music with melody or lyrics, natural rain and thunder don’t demand cognitive effort. Instead, they offer a continuous sound field that allows your attention to settle without disengaging completely.
Immersive recording
Because this soundscape is recorded in immersive 3D audio in real nature, your brain perceives depth, distance, and movement. This can reduce the feeling of being “stuck” in a room or behind a screen and create a subtle sense of openness.
Slowing Down
Many listeners notice that their breathing synchronises unconsciously with the slow dynamics of rain and thunder, supporting relaxation without deliberate effort.
Reduced stress
Nature sounds have been shown to lower perceived stress and support emotional regulation, especially in environments where silence feels uncomfortable or music feels overstimulating.
Focus
Rain and thunder can act as a gentle auditory backdrop that masks distracting noise while maintaining mental clarity — useful for reading, writing, or deep work.
Sleep and reconnection
Immersive natural soundscapes can help reconnect you with bodily awareness and the present moment particularly valuable in urban or highly digital environments.Can you rember the feeling when falling asleep with the rain sounds on your window or tent?
"Rain is grace; rain is the sky descending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life."

Headphones or earbuds (requires a playback device)
Device that supports MP3 or FLAC playback through headphones or earbuds
XR and VR devices that allow local playback of MP3 and FLAC files
For listening our content with headphones or hearables the audio formats are two : FLAC and MP3.
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is a compressed audio format that differs from traditional lossy compression methods. Unlike formats like MP3 or AAC, FLAC is a lossless compression, meaning it retains all the original audio data during compression without sacrificing quality. The compression in FLAC is achieved by encoding redundant data more efficiently rather than discarding it.
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) format is a widely used audio file format that employs lossy audio compression to reduce the file size while maintaining a good level of sound quality. It was developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and has become the de facto standard for online digital music files.
Soundbars & Smart Speakers (Check format compatibility)
PC, Laptops, Tablets & Gaming Consoles (Check format compatibility)
*Check the device specifications to confirm TrueHD support.
TrueHD with Dolby Atmos requires compatible audio and video devices for full utilization. This includes Blu-ray players, AV receivers, soundbars, and home theater systems that support Dolby Atmos and TrueHD.
Many modern media streamers from popular brands such as Nvidia Tv Shield, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and others often support the “audio passthrough” feature to allow the unaltered transmission of audio to your external audio system.
It is advisable to check the product specifications or device settings to confirm the presence of this function.
MKV (Matroska)
The MKV (Matroska) format is a versatile and open multimedia container well-suited for high-quality audio and video. It is compatible with advanced codecs like Dolby TrueHD, commonly associated with Dolby Atmos.
Some content in our catalog also includes video in 4K resolution, combined with Dolby Atmos TrueHD.
MP4 files containing Dolby Atmos Digital Plus (DD+) are designed to deliver an immersive audio experience across a wide range of consumer devices. This format is ideal for streaming platforms and compatible devices, including:
•Soundbars and home theater systems for advanced surround sound.
•Smart speakers and portable devices, including gaming consoles.
•Tablets and PCs/laptops, with support available via media players like VLC or Apple Music.
Dolby Atmos Virtualization for Headphones:
MP4 with Dolby Atmos DD+ also enables spatialized audio playback through standard stereo headphones, thanks to the headphone virtualization feature.
•It’s an ideal solution for consumer devices such as tablets, laptops, or smartphones that support Dolby Atmos.
Tablets and Smartphones:
Compatible tablets and smartphones can leverage Dolby Atmos virtualization for headphones without requiring external devices or complex setups. Apps like Apple Music or VLC provide Dolby Atmos rendering directly on the device.
Ambisonic format is commonly used in immersive audio productions, such as 360-degree videos, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR). Its spherical representation offers an engaging and realistic sound experience.
the Ambisonic format is designed to provide a comprehensive and three-dimensional audio representation, making it suitable for a wide range of immersive and professional applications.
Ambisonic orders refer to the number of microphone capsules in a spherical array used to capture three-dimensional audio. Increasing the order adds more capsules, enhancing precision in spatial audio recording.
For our content, we use both first-order and third-order ambisonics, depending on various factors such as the intended level of spatial accuracy, the playback environment, and the specific requirements of each project.
All sounds were recorded in real environments using professional spatial audio microphones, preserving authentic acoustic dynamics without synthetic or generative audio. These experiences aim to reflect true nature soundscapes.
