Why Is Rain Not Noisy?

  Hi,
  
  I'd like to ask a question.
  
  When u are trying to sleep, or whatever, read, or anything else like that.
  
  Sometimes if u hear some noise, u will feel disturbed. It's bugging u, and u can't continue with ur activity. If it requires concentration like reading, u can't read, if it requires relaxation like sleeping, u can't sleep.
  
  Well.......that sounds familiar right? It happens with u too sometimes, right?
  
  If.....
  
  Rain drops........
  
  HAVE you ever felt it's noisy? It's disturbing ur sleep, u can't fall asleep. Or it's disturbing ur study/ reading. Have u ever felt this way? Even when the sound is quite loud?
  
  I have never felt this way. It's not disturbing me.
  
  And so I wonder, why is it so?
  
  Does that have to do with the rythm, or the water sound, or because it is surround (like Dolby Surround, all over u) or what?
  
  Thanks.

  Because when it falls, it doesn't have a fixed pattern. Try that with techno.
