Relaxing Thunder + Green Noise, Black Screen ⛈️🟢⬛ • 12 hours • No mid-roll ads

This is the sound of relaxing thunder echoing through the sky set against standard green noise. I designed it specifically to exclude thunder that I found to be jarring so you can put your mind at ease while listening. It can help you relax and get some sleep, and may alleviate the effects of tinnitus. Enjoy, and rest well.

Fun fact: this audio was nearly a YEAR in the making throughout 2024, and I'm very proud of the result! Here's how I did it:
1. February-June: I recorded thunderstorms near my home.
2. September: I trimmed the ~72 hours of audio down to ~12 hours that actually included thunder.
3. October-November: I isolated ~2 hours of pure thunder and processed it to remove rain and other background noise. I then listened to the hundreds of samples and rated them each on their features (crackles, claps, peals, rolls, and rumbles) and whether I found them to be jarring.
4. December: I wrote a program in C# to weave samples together based on those parameters and a few other random elements, making it so I can generate an engineered but unique soundscape with the push of a button.

Another fun fact: green noise is not an "official" color of noise, so there may be multiple interpretations of how it should sound. I crafted mine using this definition attributed to J. Russell Lemon: "As I remember, it was flat from 500 Hz to about 2 kHz and then rolled off at 9 db/octave. Below 500 Hz it rolled off at 6 db ?? per octave."
