Walking in the Rain at Harvard in Boston, MA (Binaural City Sounds) [4K Rain Ambience ASMR]

Morning rain at Harvard Square in Cambridge. Harvard is among the most famous colleges in Boston to walk around, which is exactly why it is worth going in the rain — early, in autumn, when the university keeps mostly to itself. This is a single hour-long walk, the microphones out in the rain for the whole of it. The rainfall is natural and so is everything under it: the city going about its morning, unbothered by being famous. The audio here is binaural, so the rain stays overhead and the street stays underfoot, each sound holding its position as you move through the square. People put this on to study or to fall asleep, and it works for that. But it also works as a way of standing in an autumn morning in Cambridge without needing to be anywhere at all — a famous place, off-hours, letting the rain do the talking.

Best with headphones — the audio is true binaural. Watch on YouTube (recommended on TV).
