Customer Reviews

If only it was just thunderstorms..
I was disappointed with this product, for reasons that are perhaps idiosyncratic with me. I am a very light sleeper, the slightest "unexpected" noise will wake me up. So I wanted this Thunderstorm cd to sleep to (having it on "repeat" obviously) to block out all other noise. Unfortunately, it's not just rain with the occasional sound of thunder. Also included is the sound of rain dripping off a house onto the ground below. Dripping noises are much different than raining noises, and not at all pleasant! Then there's the sounds of birds chirping, which also gets on my nerves (I'm trying to block out early morning birdsong, as it is!)

So if this had just simply been rain, alternating between light, medium and heavy rain, and thunder, it would have been great. But there's too much extraneous noise that defeats the purpose for me.

Students " I-de-ate"
I teach fifth grade in California. Sometimes it's difficult for them to come back into the classroom after recess and get settled down, ready for the next lesson. I picked up on a term I heard on tv (which they all know about this term)and I use it to my advantage. They love it and look forward to coming in and "Ideate" (I - de - ate) When they come back into the classroom I have one of my disk on the player at a low volume and let them just "Ideate" for 3-5 minutes. The length of time varies depending on their state of excitement. They can chose where to Ideate. On a table, the floor is popular, just sitting at their desk with their heads-down, etc. Believe me it works. A teacher's blessing.

Great for Sleeping
This is a great CD, I own other CD's by Dr. Thompson and enjoy them immensely. This really puts you to sleep. The thunder is a low frequency so any crackles don't wake you up. I also own his CD for naps, and the "gong" wakes you up on time. These thunder sounds are at the right level to keep you asleep. The rain also sounds very inviting, almost like a small pool forming and enough water to create a small trickle which is really relaxing.
