Baby sleep sound
Thunderstorm sound for babies
Steady rain with low, rolling thunder. Dramatic and cozy for some, too much for others.
Listen to a sample: Thunderstorm
The sample loops. Keep your device volume low.
About this sound
A thunderstorm adds rumbles to the soft wash of rain. The rumbles are deep and slow, but they are also louder moments in an otherwise steady sound.
Why parents use it
Many toddlers and adults love a storm heard from inside a warm room. The low rumble is calming for them. Because thunder changes in volume, it is the least steady sound in the app, and sudden loud moments can wake a light sleeper.
Good for
- Toddlers and older children who like storms
- Parents who want a deep, dramatic background
- Daytime play and quiet time
Using it safely
- For newborns and young babies, a steadier sound such as rain or white noise is usually a better first choice.
- Listen to the whole sample at low volume first so you know when the loudest rumbles come.
- If thunder startles your baby, switch to a sound with no peaks.

Can thunder sounds wake a baby?
They can. Thunder rises and falls, and a loud rumble may wake a light sleeper. Choose a steady sound if sudden changes are a problem.
Is it good for toddlers?
