Dr. Harris is a behavioral sleep medicine specialist and he spoke to Vogue about the science behind the sound of rain to help those with trouble falling asleep.

"Steady rainfall noises help lull the brain into falling asleep, block outside noises, and frequently induce a more meditative state that brings on relaxation. Though similar to the hum of white noise, rain sounds are actually considered pink noise, which is quickly becoming the new It noise color." - Dr. Shelby Harris (Vogue)
