Thunderstorm sounds for sleep

Thunderstorm sounds combine heavy rain, wind and low rolling thunder. The rain masks background noise while the deep rumbles feel cosy and enveloping. Press Play for an endless 3D storm; lower the level if the close cracks keep you alert.

What you will hear

A dense downpour of around 140 drops a second, a wind layer whose pitch rises with each gust, and thunder that rolls in two to four swells. Each strike comes from its own position in the sky, and near strikes arrive with a bright crack first, the way real lightning does.

Who thunderstorm sounds suit

Storms are the best choice if you like a heavy, enveloping sound or need to cover a lot of noise. If sudden cracks make you jump, use tropical rain instead, where thunder stays distant and rare.

Pair it with

  • Stormy night: the storm with extra wind.
  • Add ocean waves for a coastal storm.

Frequently asked questions

Are thunderstorm sounds good for sleep?

Many people love them, because heavy rain masks noise and low rumbles feel calming. If the louder strikes wake you, lower the level or switch to plain rain sounds.

How often does it thunder?

Roughly every 14 to 38 seconds, from a different direction each time, with about one strike in three close enough to crack.

Is Canopy & Tide free?

Yes. It runs in your browser with no sign-up, no ads and no downloads, and every sound loops for as long as you leave it playing.

Do I need headphones?

No, speakers work well. Headphones make the 3D placement much clearer, so sounds seem to come from around, above and behind you.
