Over October 2025 to June 2026, "rain sounds" was searched most in Mississippi, Arkansas, Delaware, West Virginia, Tennessee. Two states known for rain rank low: Washington (36) and Hawaii (28), both near the bottom. That pattern suggests rain sounds are used mainly as a sleep and focus aid rather than as a reaction to the weather. Meanwhile "rainy day songs" and "rainy day playlist" barely register in US search at all.
