Thunderstorm

The rain/thunderstorm sounds are great as well as the use of the surrounds, but most of these tracks have too many animal noises for my taste. I'd rather have just the rain/thunder. I knew this before purchasing thanks to other reviews, and I am still glad I made the purchase.

Don't get this unless you like GREAT thunder and rain that sounds like someone "peeing" (a constant drip throughout the entire CD). It was so annoying that I returned it. Too bad, the thunder was excellent.

I purchased this to desensitize my dog to the sound of thunderstorms. He's not as anxious when a storm materializes, so it must be doing the trick.

This is my wind-down CD. I play this when I am in bed reading a book, and then if my mind is still active, I will play it again as I am falling asleep. It has a wonderful variation of sounds... trickles, rainfall, and thunder-claps. This one is my favorite.

This thunderstorm CD was just okay - if I had the option, I would give it 2.5 stars instead of 3.
For whatever reason, the author chose to put a continuous dripping noise over the sounds of rain and thunder. I'm talking about the kind of dripping that keeps you up at night, such as from a drippy faucet. And it's not subtle - it's front and center, as if the microphone is right next to the dripping. Apparently, it was an attempt at a "babbling brooke" effect, but it didn't work - it's just annoying. For me, it was distracting and detracted from the sounds of rain and thunder.
Personally, I also don't like the sounds of chirping and squawking birds, etc, on thunderstorm CDs, but I know many people do like that, and perhaps it was sort of the theme of this one, so I can't take points off for that.
If you're just looking for the sounds of just a thunderstorm - ie. the sound of thunder and rain falling on trees and/or pavement, look elsewhere.
