How it's made

Source
thousands of overlapping raindrop impacts form a stereo noise curtain, strongest at 1-5 kHz. Independent white splash and pink runoff layers retain a warm 250-1200 Hz body without sub-bass.
Body
broad wet leaves flex under large drops: 320-1050 Hz low-Q noise slaps with 2-5 ms attacks and 35-95 ms releases, coupled to a brighter 1.6-3.8 kHz splash and a delayed soft runoff tail.
Events
12-34 leaf impacts/s and 65-180 ground splashes/s; ground grains last 8-26 ms at 1.8-5 kHz. The thick continuous rain bed fills the spaces between the individually resolved foreground drops.
Envelope
independent 0.12 and 0.43 Hz random drifts vary density, level and upper cutoff together; rain stays sustained, with no rhythmic pulses, tonal rings, thunder or artificial reverberation.
Variation
seeded per-impact size, strength, decay and pan; independent stereo beds avoid combing. Presets change surface balance, spectral absorption and storm density, rather than only output gain.
