I think that's intended

This is because the sound of the rain is tied to the raindrop particle. Since those particles don't get created when particles are on minimal, you hear no rain sound.

yes, but of course, rain sound is supposed to happen, even if no particles are created... (sorry, bad english, i'm from brazil)

I actually prefer it that way.

"Works as intended" is silly. I know it's engine thing, the sound is bound to particles, but, it would make more sense if you CAN HEAR THE RAIN WHEN IT'S RAINING. Also confirmed for 1.8.3.
