Nature Walking in Heavy Rain | Binaural Rain on Umbrella for Sleep & Study ASMR

Summer · Rain · 38 min · June 2022

It rained hard all night, and by morning it still hadn't let up. From the trailhead the route follows the river, heavy rain the whole way, the binaural mics out under the umbrella with everything else. That's the entire premise — thirty-nine minutes of rain on an umbrella, a river keeping pace beside the path, and nothing else scheduled. Rain that has gone on all night has a different sound than rain just starting; it has settled into itself, and the trail has stopped resisting it. No landmarks here, no town, no name to look up afterward — just a New England trail on the kind of morning when almost nobody else goes out. Which is, honestly, the reason to go. Filmed in 4K, and suited to the usual purposes: sleep, study, or a long gray morning of your own on the other side of the window.

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