Taptanium publishes this guide and makes every app featured in it. These are our editorial picks for different listening preferences.

- Rain on a pond A soft rain bed with individual drops audible over it.
Compare the texture of the rain
Listen for individual drops, a continuous wash, and changes in intensity. If one texture keeps calling attention to itself, try the other clip at the same comfortable device volume.
Choose a place or choose a scene
Rainlayer lets you move through a rain landscape and program a path. Rainy lets you choose an illustrated scene and add music or nature sounds. Start with the simpler setup you can repeat easily at bedtime.
