Raining.fm is a small project by myself Neil Lockwood. I live in Australia with my beautiful fiance Amy and my two amazing sons Caden and Tate. I would like to dedicate this site and app to them.
During the week I work in web development and in the evenings, I love to work on passion projects such as this.
I listen to the rain every night while I sleep and I find it useful for focusing at work. I could never find the perfect sound, so I thought, why not make it! And that’s how Raining.fm started.
