Rainy Roomtone at Closed Roof Window – Faint Aircraft Rumble & Fade to Quiet (Altenthann, 16 Feb 2026) - 260216_003

Altenthann – Rainy Roomtone at Closed Roof Window with Faint Aircraft Rumble (Today)
48 kHz • 32‑bit float → gentle HPF + gain adjust • Omni Stereo (no Jecklin disc)

Recorded today (16 February 2026) in Altenthann (93177), district of Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany.
This ambience captures a quiet interior roomtone on a rainy winter day, recorded in the attic of a residential house, approximately one meter from a closed roof window. The closed‑window perspective yields a controlled, intimate interior tone while transmitting exterior detail in a softened, damped manner.
The soundscape is defined by rainfall pattering on the roof window and nearby roof surfaces, rendered as a subdued, even texture with characteristic mid‑to‑high‑frequency taps rounded by the glazing. Intermittently, very faint low‑frequency rumbles from passing passenger aircraft are audible—subtle and non‑intrusive—adding a realistic high‑altitude layer beneath the rain bed. From the lower floors, very distant, unintelligible conversations appear occasionally, reinforcing the sense of a lived‑in residential interior.
At around 30:00 minutes, the rain gradually fades, and the still roomtone becomes predominant. This natural transition from rain‑influenced ambience to a steady interior bed makes the file especially useful for editorial continuity, scene transitions, and layering workflows.
The recording remains as raw as practical, with only a gentle high‑pass filter to control sub‑bass buildup and a gain adjustment for consistent headroom.
