Thunderstorm
Heavy Rain & Distant Thunder
Loud, steady rain on the glass. Lightning lights the window faintly, and the thunder rolls in a few seconds later.
- Length 10:00:00
- Flashes per hour 99
- Thunder delay 2–9 s
10-hour dark-screen sleep sounds
Fall asleep by the window, while the storm passes.
Rain, thunder, sea and sky, seen through a window at night. Every video keeps the screen dark and the sound steady, so it lasts the whole night without lighting up your room.
Distant lightning, live
The series
Pick a window for tonight
Each video is a full hour that never repeats, played ten times. The light in the window follows the sound, so what you see always matches what you hear.
Lighthouse
Ocean Waves at Night
Waves build, break and wash up the sand. Far out on the headland, a lighthouse beam sweeps slowly through the haze.
- Length 10:00:00
- Waves per hour 372
- Beam passes every 15 s
Night Flight
Airplane Cabin White Noise
A window seat above the clouds. Steady cabin hum, town lights through the gaps, and lightning flickering far away.
- Length 10:00:00
- Engine beat 0.15–0.5 Hz
- Turbulence 5 gentle spells/hr
How they're made
Built for sleeping through
Most sleep videos are bright footage on an obvious loop. These are made differently.
Dark enough to sleep with on
The screen stays black around a single window. Light only appears when the scene calls for it, and it never gets bright enough to wake you.
No loop you can hear
Every hour is built from scratch, so no flash, wave or rumble repeats within it. The hour joins back onto itself with no gap or click.
Light that follows the sound
Thunder arrives after its flash, foam washes up as each wave lands, and the clouds bob outside the window when the plane hits a bump.
flash → 2–9 s → thunder
Steady all night
Volume is held level for ten hours, loud enough to cover a snoring partner or the street outside, with no sudden cracks or chimes.
