Can’t sleep? Listen to rain on a tent
Steady rain on a tent in a misty forest. Let it fill your head for a moment, and if it helps, keep the rain going with the full hour.

What it is
A short taste of the rain from our 1-hour rain on a tent: rain landing on canvas, softer and duller than rain on glass, with no voice and no music. It is there to test whether tent rain is your sound before you commit to a full session.
How to use it
Play it in bed with the brightness down. If the sound settles you, switch to the full hour or the 45-minute version for a nap, and keep the volume low; our safe volume guide explains how to judge it.
Best for
Nights when you can’t settle and want a quick reset, and anyone choosing between rain sounds. For rain on a window instead, try rain on a cabin window at 2am; for rain falling through trees, misty pine forest rain.
Why tent rain sounds softer
Rain on a window is a hard surface meeting water, so each drop has a sharp tick. Canvas gives a little as the drop lands, which rounds off that tick and leaves a duller, closer patter. Many people find that easier to stop listening to, which is the point: a steady sound you stop noticing is doing its job of covering the sudden noises, like a door or a car outside, that tend to wake light sleepers. If rain in general works for you, our rain sounds guide compares the different kinds, from light drizzle to a heavy downpour.
Sound design note
The rain is generated by SleepBetter’s own sound engine, using the same lower, muffled “fabric” drop as the full-length tent videos. It plays fine on a phone speaker; keep it quiet.
