+148 When it's raining, as in lots of drops of water, it's not annoying it can even help you sleep. But when it's one single drop it can keep you up for hours, amirite?

As in lots of drops of water? Isn't that what rain is anyways?

Ears sense changes in sound, not sound itself. Or at least the brain only registers it like that. THe constant sound of a downpour becomes the new standard for silence, and helps drown out other sounds, thus making silence less 'brittle'. One drop can never alter the perception of the environment, so it remains as an annoying noise.
