Rain on
a window
Drops on old glass. Free, live and never looping.
Change the mix
Steady rain on the village green, heard from indoors.

Why the window matters
Rain on its own is a wash. Rain on a window is a wash with small, separate taps on top, each a little different, some to your left and some to your right. Those taps are what make you feel indoors.
Here they are a layer of their own. Turn Rain on the glass up and you move your chair to the window seat. Turn it down and you are back by the bar, with the rain somewhere outside.
Where you are sitting
The window belongs to The Kettle & Rain, the inn at Hollowmere. The picture at the top of the page is its view over the green. It follows the real time of day in Britain, and it rains on the glass when you turn the rain up.
Questions
How is this different from ordinary rain sounds?
It adds the single drops that land on the pane next to you. They are louder, sharper and more irregular than the rain behind them, and they are what tell your ear that you are inside.
Can I have the window without the fire?
Yes. Every layer has a slider of its own. Pull Fire down to nothing and you have rain and glass alone.
Will it keep playing if I lock my phone?
Phones differ. Some carry on with the screen locked and some stop the sound, iPhones in particular. If yours stops, keep the page open on screen or use a laptop.
