さいたま市, Saitama, Japan

An afternoon rainstorm recorded on August 6, 2025, in Urawa, Saitama City, Japan. Captured with a Zoom H6 Essential recorder with the XY capsule and stock wind protection. The recorder was placed under an overhang outside my apartment, facing towards an alley between two houses leading out to a larger street. The rain sounds in the recording are primarily rain falling on nearby rooftops. Processed with Adobe Audition.

I've returned as promised. I used this the rain and several of the thunder noises as a background track in my soundscape and made sure to credit you in the description. If you'd like to check it out, you can see it here: https://youtu.be/0XxJxeqYFCM

Thanks again!

This sounds great! I never would have guessed it was recorded in a city. I'll be back in the future to show you what I use this for, thank you very much for uploading it.
