Have you ever curled up to the soothing sounds of rain, letting its pitter-patter relax you?
Well, hold onto your umbrellas, because what you’re about to hear will change how you listen to those rain sounds FOREVER!
Movies and TV shows have a clever trick up their sleeve, and it’s usually not filming in the rain or capturing the real sound outdoors.
The truth?
It’s the sound of frying chicken that fills our ears with those comforting rainy vibes.
This astonishing fact was unveiled by TikTok creator ginman.wav, who works as a professional audio mixer.

In a viral video, he shows how a microphone placed close to a panm with sizzling chicken can recreate perfectly the essence of falling rain.
Minds = blown.
Viewers were left in disbelief, with reactions ranging from shock to hilarious comments about playing “frying food sounds” for relaxation.
But why go through the trouble of using chicken sounds?
It’s all about Foley artistry.
Foley artists create these sound effects in studios, cleverly crafting everything from rain to the crunch of footsteps on gravel.
This technique allows for more control over the sound environment, ensuring that rain scenes sound just right, without the unpredictability of real weather.
So next time rain lulls you to sleep, remember: You might just be listening to someone preparing their dinner.
