Customer reviews of A Week in Hawaii, Vol. 8: Midnight Rainshower
|
Customer Rating:  
Summary: My favorite so far
Comment: We live in a noisy neighborhood. People slamming car doors, having loud conversations at night, etc.
This CD is the best I've found so far for white noise. The sound quality is great, and I love the rain sound. There's the occasional bird sound, but it's not enough to wake you up at all.
My only complaint is that the rain tapers off over the course of the hour, which lets the sounds of the neighbors get more annoying. It's pretty quiet by the end, so when I have it on repeat, the sudden onslaught of rain at the beginning wakes me up momentarily.
I tried a waves CD or two, but the water sounds are too irregular to blot out the neighbors. I also have the waterfall CD from the Week in Hawaii series, which works okay, but it starts pretty suddenly and ends pretty suddenly, which also wakes me up.
All in all, this is the best so far.

Summary: Calms baby
Comment: We love this CD!!!
Sometimes this is the only sound that can calm our baby. When we turn it on it makes us think of Hawaii and puts our baby's mind at ease.

Comment: Loved it; reminds me of the sounds I was able to fall asleep to in my youth in Hawaii.

Summary: Sure cure for insomnia
Comment: Found this at a local library around 20 years ago, bought a copy and after quite literally about 10,000 rotations it is finally making some clicking noises towards the end and waking me up. I didn't think you could wear-out a cd there being no surface contact with the lasar and all, but the noise is there nonetheless so I guess you can. I'm sure I could probably sleep without this thing but at this point it is so ingrained into my subconsious that it is like audible crack. The delicate decrecendo of the rain over an hour-long period, balanced by the soft chirpings of birds and crickets will lull you into oblivion.

Summary: Recommended For Sleeping
Comment: I love this CD. My wife and I have kept it playing on repeat, every night, for the past 4 years. If you like rain, I definitely recommend it.
I spent a long time looking for a CD that was pure rain. Most have thunderclaps, and some even have frogs and honking geese. The closest that I found, a CD that actually featured a rainstorm without any animal noises, sounded tinny and unnatural. It was like listening to radio static. It wasn't relaxing. It was annoying.
This Hawaii rain shower was a good compromise. It does have mild cricket noises and some bird chirps toward the end -- but they're subtle, and I think they help to trick my mind into thinking that I'm hearing rain rather than static coming from the speakers. I would also admit that this CD isn't optimal for repeat playing, because over the course of an hour the rain slows and ends softer than it began; but we've been using it happily for 4 years, and it's never kept me awake.
I suppose I could have kept searching for the Holy Grail of pure rain CDs -- but as they say, "perfect is the enemy of good." I'd probably still be searching instead of enjoying this CD.
