I love the rain but firstly I love being outside while it rains and smelling the electricity in the air. While I understand and agree that it's nice to enjoy the sound of it on the roof while you nap or read, it's far nicer and there is much more sensory detail to enjoy than just the sound. Although one could argue that being inside while it rains is a feeling in and of itself, and you are not shutting yourself off, but rather just experiencing it in a different way.
