IMPORTANT NOTE: Since this
is only a brief sample that contains no binaural
frequencies, listening
to the sample will not provide any of the brainwave
effects that would be achieved when listening
to the actual CD. This sample
is solely for the purpose of previewing the
sound of the natural rain used on the CD.

Our recordings use natural rain recorded live
by our own audio engineers in several locations
within the U.S. Each track is composed
of various rain sounds carefully blended together
in a precise mix to complement the binaural
experience. The binaural tones are set directly
below the sounds of the rain, so you hear the
pleasant sound of rain while the frequencies
underneath do all the work.
Using rain and other soothing sounds
to mask the binaural tones has been proven to enhance the
effectiveness of binaural audio. In his groundbreaking Scientific
American article titled "Auditory Beats in the Brain",
Gerald Oster wrote:
"Noise
ordinarily masks sounds one wants to hear. For example,
'static' sometimes overwhelms a weak radio signal. The perception
of binaural beats, however, is enhanced by noise. When the
appropriate tones are presented to the ears so that binaural
beats are produced, and are accompanied in each ear by noise
just loud enough to obscure the tones, the binaural beats
become more distinct." [Oster, Gerald (1973) Auditory Beats
in the Brain. Scientific American, 229, pp. 94-102]
