Oh, wow, yes.
I grew up in the deep redwoods, spent a lot of time camping in tents or living in trailers.
I would just live to listen to rain on the tent canvas, or on the huge skunk leaves, the way it would trickle down through the tree branches, the beat of it on the ground, or the pitter of rain drops on the creak.
And the way the forest smells when it rained!
You could just feel everything bad and unclean just wash away from your life...
even if only for a moment.

Somehow, I think that Boris who answered here is lying or didn't understand the question. Most dogs, including my own, go absolutely berserk when it rains, especially in thunderstorms.
Personally, I think that soft gentle rain can be very relaxing, as long as it doesn't come with all the special effects (wind, loud thunder, lightening, falling, trees, etc.) Rain falling softly, gentle thunder in the distance, a steady drip, drip, drip off the roof, cars going through puddles in the road all add to the effect. White noise of any kind is almost always relaxing, like the music of nature, and a quiet, gloomy afternoon with your 'special someone' and perhaps just the right moody music can be a very romantic time, like a scene from a romantic movie.

Yep.
I also find thunderstorms relaxing to. Maybe not when a clap of thunder happens right above your head but just the sound of one in the near/far distance along with the sound of the rain is one of natures gifts to man!

Rain hitting on the terrace, tinsheets, the sound of wind, the rhythm of rain- quite a lot can be heard and listened!!!There are a lot of things in nature that can stimulate you,if you actually spare time to listen to them......

Very much so. I think it is because it helps to concentrate on something (listening to the falling rain) instead of thinking about problems, etc. Yes, it is very relaxing.

I do! I even downloaded rain showers and thunderstorm sound effects to my ipod and play it through my stereo to set a relaxing atmosphere. Try it.

i wouldnt say relaxing is the word. whenever i listen to the rain, i get really happy, and want to go out and dance in it, walk in it, run in it, etc. i just really, really enjoy the rain. *shrugs*

I love the rain, just not every single day like it did here in ohio a few summers.
