Does it offer thunderstorm and/or rain sound? If so, how realistic are the sounds?

No just varying degrees of white noise. I find it great to drown out a snoring partner. Crank it up and sleep like a baby

Yes it has a rain shower sound and it is pretty realistic my cats don't like thunder so I never used it.a

Water sounds...shore side, ocean, dock side, that sort of thing. Also, crackling fire, train, fan, thunderstorm, gentle rain. They are good sounds, lots of variety, and the loop is not obvious as with some sleep sound systems.

Absolutely, it sounds loud enough outside without any distortion. I haven't connected anything else but my Ipod. I listen to jazz and I am pleased with the sound.

It does have an operating sound at 5 feet. Not loud sound but a sound. I became used to it in a couple of nights.

It is loud enough. I have had it for almost two years and I turn it on when I get ready to leave my home. I can hear it over the shower. Sometimes when I am cleaning I can hear it over the vacuum. So it being outside it might be. Open spaces may not be the best cuz the sounds needs something to bounce off of. If you are just looking for something to have in the background for outside it is perfect.

I have found it preforms well inside and out. I've not exposed it to any extreme conditions. The sound was better than expected given its size and cost. I would buy it again.

The acoustic simulator pedal on there has a decent clean sound to it. It's not as rich or full sounding as a real acoustic would be obviously. I haven't tried using an acoustic electric through it so I can't speak on that part. This video may help give you a good idea of what it sounds like with acoustic simulation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2w90ODqvSA

I agree with the 2 below that answered this question. As mentioned all of those sounds play plus the music.

The ocean is really good. I like it best. Thunderstorm is unnerving to me and kids but I'd say it's realistic

I don't think so. We keep it close to our bed and it is plenty loud. I also take it with me when I travel just to give me a soothing sound in my hotel room. My husband says it isn't stereo. The sound is very realistic. We live in a rural area and when I listen to the "brook" setting and close my eyes I could easily imagine that I'm out in the woods next to a babbling brook. I am very happy with this purchase and have told others about it.

It has thunder, ocean, brook, summer night, rain, and white noise as the options. Hope that helps!

There are rattling parts inside the rain wheel. When the wheel is spun, the rattling parts scatter around in the wheel and make the "rain" sound. Pretty cool. My grandson loves to play these bongos and give concerts.

It's got a pretty distinctive "clap-clap" sound. About as loud as you'd make with your hands. There are some youtube videos that demonstrate it.
