Jungle rain is a real field recording of rain near Uxmal, in the Mexican state of Yucatán. Its source names no recordist and no date, so greensound shows neither rather than guess. It's in the public domain under CC0, and what plays here is a loop cut from the original.

Where is Uxmal?

This recording's source, on Freesound, places it at Muna, near Uxmal, in the Mexican state of Yucatán. On greensound, its catalog entry shortens that to "near Uxmal, Yucatán, Mexico," which is what this page and the mixer's info panel both show.

Why is no recordist named?

The site that hosts this recording gives only a Freesound username and an upload date, and neither one is a fact about who made the recording or when. A username isn't necessarily the person who held the microphone, and an upload date says only when a file reached the internet, not when it was recorded. Rather than treat either as a fact it isn't, greensound leaves both blank, on this page and in the info panel. This recording is CC0, a public domain dedication that asks for no credit at all; greensound credits what it can anyway, which here is only the place.

Rain or brown noise while studying?

Jungle rain carries some natural variation moment to moment, being a real recording rather than a formula, where brown noise has none by design, generated the same simple way every time. It's still cut to a loop and turned up or down by one fixed amount like every real recording here, so it matches the other sounds in level even though its texture stays its own. Which one suits a particular study session is a matter of preference.

Is it looped?

Yes. What plays is a loop of twenty to forty seconds, cut from the original recording, chosen so that no single sound inside it stands out each time it comes back around, with a 2-second equal-power crossfade baked into the seam so it can't click.

Listen safely

This is a sound, played back through whatever speaker or headphones you already own. It doesn't diagnose, measure, or promise anything about how you sleep, focus, or feel — it's just noise and a handful of real recordings, mixed the way you like them.

Keep the volume low enough that you'd still notice a smoke alarm, a phone ringing, or someone at the door. If you fall asleep in headphones, choose a volume and a pair you'd be comfortable wearing all night, and a session length that ends when you'd want the sound to stop.

If you use this near a baby, keep the speaker several feet from the crib, never inside or clipped to it, and keep the volume low — the same care you'd take with any sound machine in a nursery.

If your relationship with sound, or with sleep, feels difficult rather than simply restless, a doctor or audiologist is the right person to talk to. This is a mixer, not a clinician.

Can I hear jungle rain without brown noise under it?

Yes. Tap jungle rain on its own in the mixer. With Pro you can also start from the Focus mix and remove brown noise, adjusting the volume as you like.

Is jungle rain part of the free plan?

Yes, fifteen minutes a day. This sound is free to play for fifteen minutes a day, with a fade at the end, and Pause keeps the minutes you have left. Pro adds the full mixes, layering, longer timers, and new recordings first.

Is it real rain or generated rain?

Real. Nothing in it is synthesized. What plays is a loop cut from the original, with its level matched to the other sounds.

What is the Focus mix?

One of three ready-made mixes, and one tap starts it. With Pro it plays this rain with brown noise underneath for sixty minutes, and you can change the length or add sounds by hand. Without Pro it plays the rain alone for fifteen minutes a day.
