Rain is better because it's a fuller more static sound. Easy to tune out.

Drips suck because they are sudden repetitive sharp sound. VERY hard to tune out.

You have to be monk level with your meditation skill to tune out the sharp sound of a drip, haha

My guess would be because the rain is out of our control. But we could get up and turn off that leaky faucet, but are too comfy to do so, and as a result begrudgingly try to ignore it.

I can go to bed easily with a violent storm outside. It’s soothing mostly but some lightning booms can jump scare me occasionally.

Oh man. I can’t wait for nights where it’s raining and my windows open listening to it. I love a summer rainstorm.

It's the antici.....pation of the drips that keeps you annoyed and awake. The randomness of rain is relaxing because it is constant

that's because water dripping it a singular repetitive noise that is hard to ignore when it's solitary and never ending. Rainfall sort of morphs into relaxing white noise or just amplifies sounds of nature.

Same thing with voices. One people talking in a room and you can't help but to hear what is being said. But a full classroom or coffee shop of people talking and it's all just white noise.
