How is this different from Travel Meditation?
Sound Meditation uses one white-noise sound with background music. Travel Meditation builds a scene from several environmental tracks, such as waves and wind, with individual track levels. Their editors offer different controls.
Can I try the rain before downloading?
The website offers a single-sound rain preview. Music mixing and separate volume controls are available in the app. Check the app for playable content and membership benefits.
