The Rain That Wasn't
I had a fascinating experience in a small area of woods filled with poplar and birch trees on Île Aux Lièvres, Quebec. As the wind rustled through the leaves, it created a sound that resembled to heavy rain, even though the sky was completely clear. I found this phenomenon so intriguing that I decided to leave my recorder there for an entire day and night. What you’re about to hear is a carefully selected blend of moments captured from that long recording.
Note to the curious mind: the generator's sliders have been arranged based on their frequency contents, not the time of day.
Using just one slider creates a soft, calming sound that is perfect for quiet thinking. When you add more sliders, the sound becomes louder and turns into a strong white noise that helps you concentrate deeply.
Check out the pictures of that field recording session in Quebec.

This sound generator has given me a real ambition to visit Île Aux Lièvres in person. Beautiful stuff, Dr. Pigeon.
●
I have this on all day. Every day when I'm at work (I work in a small office). I don't know how to describe it, but it makes me feel so good and at ease. I struggle with getting distracted at work, and I notice this keeps me on task and completely transforms my surroundings. Thank you so much!
●
Thank you so much for this sound! I can't get out and enjoy nature as much as I'd like to, but this is a nice bit of nature I know. I'm glad people enjoy the sounds of our forests; I've always enjoyed them myself <3
●
For users looking for a more natural sound, I've had great success using the Clear, Bright, and Crisp sliders (with some Full and Mellow on a low volume and the others muted). Makes me feel like I'm back in the backyard of my childhood home. Loving this new generator!
●
How unnatural it sounds... I have been dreaming since boyhood to catch the rustle of the last leaves on the trees - this sentimental sound of October! But now... I'm disappointed! :(
●
I can't believe it's not rainfall.
●
Lovely natural noises.
●
One of my favorite sounds in real life. Thank you so much for capturing this. The background image is also spot-on.
●
Wonderful. Each slider contains a nice blanket on its own, yet they merge miraculously. I like the Crisp Sharp and Tiny sliders; they remind me of the tickling hail of the April Showers generator.
●
Sometimes you just need some good white noise to focus. This is a more nuanced version of the classic rain/waterfall - the wind adds something special!
●
Love it.
●
This is a lovely, dynamic, and malleable background to make my brain tolerate work!
●
It's exactly what I was looking for :)
