Great idea! I'm somewhat confused as to what the different left-hand buttons do, though. They don't seem to make a (immediate?) difference.

Sounds of storm, rain, thunder...

Yeah, the effects seem to be decently delayed for me as well.

I believe it's just volume for different sounds.

I can personally endorse https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/campingRainNoiseGenerator.... and the various presets for that shown on the right.

The sliders are for different noises samples that are generally focused at that part of the sound spectrum and there are modes that will drift them up and down to keep things gently interesting.

Second this. I love the various options https://mynoise.net provides. I have been using their coffee shop noise simulation lately since it's been forever (6 months) since I have gone to one and worked.

Tried to use it but for some reason it randomly scroll me up and down when I move the mouse which is extremely annoying lol

How do you relax with all this noise? Made me uneasy.

Funny, this sort of ambient noise is the only thing that turns my brain off and allows me to sleep at night.

Why does it scroll the page when I move my mouse barely an inch? I literally can't get the mouse over the volume sliders as it keeps scrolling the whole page up and down.

The same thing happened to me on mobile. Kept scrolling down again a couple times until I tried scrolling up again really quickly. But it isn't designed for mobile anyways I guess, all the sliders were cropped off at the right.

I really like the rain/thunder sounds, and the the drops on the window is pretty cool.

The background image is a bit too blurred and weird stuff happens when resizing the window to something that will fit in the corner of the screen.

It would be nice if there were a few different pictures to pick from.

We've come a long way from https://man.openbsd.org/rain.6

Not javascript, but 2020: https://i.imgur.com/iJWdurf_d.png?maxwidth=520&shape=thumb&f...

I recognized the image on screen on the second picture ("2020"). It's this one:

Edit: it's even readable on a large(r) version of the "2020"-image: https://i.imgur.com/iJWdurf.png

I like the 2020 image a lot by the way. The combination of lots of plants and green with cables, headphones, mask and laptop gives off solarpunk vibes in my opinion. (The forest fire backdrop would spoil it if it weren't in such a nice contrast with the rest of the image).

Edit 2: I can haz more solarpunk? Sure, check this out. It exists. It's real: https://www.architecturaldigest.in/content/singapore-changi-...

I enjoy café sounds (cutlery on dishes, people voices but not understandable) with jazz for relaxing. I usually just play the different audio simultaneously (Youtube, Soundcloud, ...).

Seems similar to this, which was posted here about 6 weeks ago:

The linked site for this submission is branded/copyrighted Pluvior.

The previous submission linked to the domain https://pluvoir.netlify.app (though this now redirects to a dedicated domain - rainbowhunt.com).

The credits on the two sites look very similar:

https://rainbowhunt.com/credits.html

https://itsrainingday.netlify.app/credits.html

On the previous submission, the author of the rain effect showed up to comment about their work: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23987120

The only real difference with this submission is that it uses a different library for the rain effect; this one uses rainyday.js by Marek Brodziak instead - https://modernweb.com/creating-a-realistic-rain-effect-with-....

I don't think there's enough new/original work here to count as a new Show HN.
