low marimba
with bass boost/treble reduction is even better
Wind blowing though pine trees.
I have this memory from when I was a kid. I was standing in the middle of the woods at my grandparents, watching big fluffy snow flakes fall around me. The only sound I could hear was a light breeze blowing through the pine trees. I don’t know why but it almost felt magical. To this day I still love that sound.
Locally, indoors? Silence.
I like to be able to hear whatever is going on outside. Ideally, that would also be silence, but if something is going on outside, I like to be alert and aware of it.
I’ll also take a little rain and occasional thunder outside, as usually people aren’t acting a fool outside during rainy weather.
Based schizo
A fire crackling in a fireplace. I’m also quite relaxed by heavy rain.
The sound of water flowing through rapids.
My grandma¹s house is built right next to a small river, this was the sound that put me to sleep every night.
I can’t decide, there are too many:
Mongolian throat singing with little to no instruments.
The sound of a plane cabin (I think its brown or pink noise)
The fire crackling of a fire place or furnace.
Ocean waves or waterfall or river noise.
Slowly and softly played piano.
A stew slowly cooking.
Sound of gentle brushing your head hair.
Light rain on leaves
The save room music in resident evil 4.
Jokes aside my most relaxing sound is heavy rain on a tin roof. Followed by cats purring.
White noise of a fan. I always have one on when sleeping so hearing that sound reminds me of a cozy nap.
thats hard but my top three is a light rain storm so just a bit of far away thunder, waves, and campfire. I have found some recordings of a compfire on a beach in a rainstorm and its just the best.
creaky wooden ship on stormy seas or rainy day steam train noises are so nice for me
Partner’s giggle
Rain outside my window in the garden. Maybe not the MOST, but it’s up there.
Train whistle and the sound of the train rumbling by in the distance is deeply relaxing, doubly so if after nightfall or if I’m drifting off to sleep.
Rain and thunder outside while inside in the evening.
Also, due to occupational damage, the sound of an offshore seismic source going off in the distance ever 10-12 seconds. The sound and the low frequency shake of the ship means everything is working as it should.
Train whistle in the distance. Light rain and thunder.
