There’s just this special feeling when listening to the sound of pouring rain. It’s like random blocks of millions of water particles hitting into the ground so loud that it overwhelms all that is overwhelming.

It’s quite similar to the masking effect in audio, where two audio sources can be playing the exact same thing, one is louder than the other, and our ears will automatically tune to the one that’s louder or rather, the sound that is lower in loudness will be masked by the one that is louder.

The rain puts a smile on my face. The randomness calms my nerves. It takes me away. I’m absorbed.
