How to Create Sounds of Rain
The sound of rain can be soothing and enjoyable. Make a rain stick to listen to the sound of rain whenever you want. Rain sticks are found all over the world. Various cultures make them from wood or dead plants. Use a rain stick as a musical instrument or decoration. Make your own rain stick out of beans and a paper towel tube. The toothpicks in the tube slow the beans down as the tube is turned. This makes the trickling sound.
