About this scene

Twenty floors up on a wet night. The skyline blurs through the rain, cars hiss past far below, and every so often their lights drift across the ceiling. Tap the room to build your night.

City rain is a favourite for late-night work: the rain on glass is close and soft, while the traffic underneath is distant and continuous — a reminder that the world is still going without needing anything from you.

Add the record player for a lo-fi feel, or the storm if you want the rain to feel heavier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes rain in the city sound different?

In a city you hear rain against glass and hard surfaces, usually with a distant wash of traffic. That combination is steadier and less "natural" than forest rain, which some people find easier to work to.
