An afternoon in the attic while rain drums on the roof
This atmosphere puts you in an old attic while autumn rain drums on the roof, and it costs nothing to listen in your browser. Dust hangs in the grey light from a small round window, and you have settled on an old trunk between the bare rafters.
The rain lands on slates and old wood just over your head, a close, woody patter with a hollow ring. Outside the round window, water drips from a ledge onto the metal sill in small, bright plinks.
A sudden gust pushes a heavier wave across the roof. The timbers creak, slow and deep, and for a moment the old house feels alive around you. A gutter spills over somewhere below. Under the eaves, pigeons coo softly, sheltering just like you.
For calm, even rain, choose Steady rain only below the picture. Choose Wilder weather for louder gusts, creaking timbers, and the overflowing gutter.
What you hear under the attic roof
- Rain on the roof boards: Rain drums on the slates and bare boards just above you, a close, woody patter with a hollow ring. Plays all the time.
- Drips on the window sill: Slow drops plink on the metal sill outside the round window, one by one. Plays all the time.
- Rain sweeping across the roof: A heavier wave of rain sweeps over the roof, swells for a few seconds, and eases back. Plays at random moments, about once every 10 minutes.
- Wind-driven rain on the slates: Wind throws the rain hard across the slates for a moment, a rushing rattle that fades. Plays at random moments, about once every 10 minutes.
- Roof timbers creaking: The old timbers creak slowly as a strong gust leans on the roof. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
- Water from a gutter: A full gutter overflows and splashes onto the stones in the yard below. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
- Pigeons under the eaves: Pigeons shelter under the eaves outside and coo softly, low and close. Plays at random moments, about once every 10 minutes.
