Near drops and broad weather create the roof
Ambient Rain establishes the wider shower, while Gentle Rain adds a closer pattern of drops that suggests contact overhead. Grey noise stays low as an interior hush, connecting the gaps without giving the room a heavy bass tone. With no thunder or gusts, this is the most restrained of the new weather presets. Listeners who want a larger storm can move to Midnight Storm; those who want sleep-oriented low frequencies may prefer the existing brown-noise rain mix.
Find depth by changing only one rain layer
Lower Gentle Rain if individual drops feel too close, or reduce Ambient Rain when the broad wash hides all roof texture. Grey noise can be removed for an entirely natural weather blend. Make small changes and listen from the place where you will work, read, or rest, since speakers transform rain detail across a room. The sleep soundscape guide explains how steady and variable layers can share space. This mix is a background preference, not a promise of sleep.
