Low Rumbling Thunderstorm and Rain Sounds for Sleeping, Studying, and Relaxing

Listening to sounds before sleep may not work for everybody. If your bedroom is completely quiet, you may not need to use any sounds for sleep. Similarly, some people may find that wearing earplugs is enough to block out disruptive noises.

To reduce the impact on your hearing, set sleep sounds to a safe volume and consider programming them to turn off in the middle of the night. Outside noises are most disruptive in the hours after falling asleep and shortly before waking up.

While more research is needed, recent studies suggest listening to music, nature sounds, white and pink noise, meditation soundtracks, and tracks utilizing autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) triggers may help people sleep.
