This 10-minute MP3 is selected from a longer outdoor field recording. It contains about 605 seconds of independently recorded CC0 source preview material; a short circular seam was crossfaded to allow repeat listening. No WAV source has been downloaded. The MP3 is derived from a lossy Freesound preview, not lossless audio. Owner audio listening approved; iPhone lock-screen testing for this exact newly published HLS transport is still a separate device QA step.

What does Light Rain really sound like?

A quiet, variable rain bed tends to have less dense impact than Heavy Rain, although the original outdoor environment may contain subtle splashes or traffic. This is a different physical recording, not a re-filtered heavy-rain track.

Provenance: recorded by joedeshon and published under Creative Commons Zero (CC0 1.0). View the creator's original Freesound recording and license details. WhiteNoiseChoir used a public MP3 preview and did not claim to have downloaded the original WAV. Audio preview re-encoding cannot restore lost recording fidelity.

Playing continuously beyond ten minutes

The MP3 master is ten minutes, but listening sessions do not stop at the ten-minute mark. On native-HLS-capable browsers, the media timeline contains repeated source segments spanning approximately seven days, so the system decoder can proceed beyond a single MP3 cycle even while the screen is locked. On other browsers, native MP3 loop provides repeat playback. These transports are not an infinite live broadcast and are subject to device restrictions.

There are 605 seconds selected from a recording lasting about 24 minutes 15 seconds. The original field recording is not magically made longer by playback repetition, nor do we claim continuous entirely new events for the duration of an overnight listening session.

How to listen comfortably

Start very quietly. Listen for any passing traffic or splashes that draw attention, particularly when trying to fall asleep. The material is a natural recording, so its texture is not perfectly steady.

Neither this sound nor the WhiteNoiseChoir player is a medical treatment or a guaranteed sleep aid. Never place a loudspeaker close to a sleeping baby and avoid prolonged high-volume sound exposure.
