Comforting Noises?

Post Reply New Topic

I used to like making noise that sounded like the cheering at a football match by breathing loudly,it was quite soothing.I used to sit on my bed doing that for hours.

I like nature sounds.

Today I realised just how much I HATE tapping (unless im doing it) and whistling.
They to me are the complete opposite of comforting noises, they really get me so het up I can't cope.

In the summer when I bring the air conditioner up from storage and turn it on, I find the loud humming so pleasant I always have a hard time turning it off, even if I have to put on extra socks or wrap up because it's getting cold. I also live right by a train yard, and I love the noises they make when they bang into each other. The sound rumbles across the city and it makes me smile. I also love, love, love airplane engines. Anything low and rumbly that you feel in your chest.

I don't like irregular noises that go on for a long time, things that have no pattern to anticipate. Like tv from another room, someone else typing, or birds in the morning. It throws me out of whatever I'm doing and I can't think.

As for noises I make myself, for years I used to do wolf howls. Not so much because it was comforting, but more as an expression of joy. Weirded my mom out.

My favorite songs and the sound of a cat purring

I love leaving my window open at night, so I can hear the wind blowing through the trees and listen to cars drive by (Don't worry, nobody's going to come through the window and attack me while I sleep - I'm on the second floor of a very big house. )

I also love the sound of rain hitting a closed window. Sometimes I hear frogs croaking, too, and I know I will hear crickets later in the summer. As far as 'industrial' noises go, I enjoy the sound of the washing machine.

The sound of owls calling to eachother in the night. I just love owls. Sometimes a bunch of them hoot like crazy, must be mating season when they do that? It sounds like an owl party.

no such thing as conforting noise...the most comforting, soothing thing -SILENCE!

i hate squeaky baloon noises but i love the sound of old video game music.

My favorite was when I was in the bathtub and I put the back of my head beneath the water so I could hear the sound of the water coming from the faucet underneath the surface. It depends on the white noise. There was one CD with rain falling that I found very peaceful when I wore earphones.

Qanun...and sometimes rain.

I like the sound of the furnace when it's on. It's just annoying to me that it has to kick back off so I can't listen to it monotonously. Same thing with the refrigerator, enjoy the sound until it turns off and then that annoys me...lol I absolutely have to sleep with a fan on or I can't sleep, although I guess many people sleep with a fan so that's not so strange.

I like the sound of running water - streams, fountains, ocean waves, etc.

I also have a pretty strong emotional memory connected with music. I'll listen to the same song over and over until the emotion I have associated with the particular song overwhelms what I'm feeling at the time.

Soft wind through the trees, a gentle rain on the roof, favorite songs, the dryer, the washer especially the wash and spin cycle, a weed whip as long as it is not too high pitched, sometimes a lawnmower and my own humming when things are a little desperate.
