I wanted this because I was doing class at work and frankly I didn't want to hear the idiots in the training class. Thus I got it for my electronic walk-man(yeah I'm sure there is a better name for it, but cannot think of it right now). It really does cancel out sound. Plus unlike other CD's I have tried...it doesn't have any distracting noise... It isn't going to go into bird noises...or a dog barking...or lots of heavy thunder....its just nice soothing rain. I know you who reads this may be like "Duh, it says rain"...HOWEVER some purchases in this genre(can I say that?) really do throw in other sounds and have you thinking "Whhhhhaaaaaaaaaatttttttt". I have only made it into 30 mins but I would/could EASILY recommend this for overnight sleep usage...or nice background noise to bring GOOD energy into a place.
