low marimba
with bass boost/treble reduction is even better
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.
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.
The gentle thrum of a Federation starship’s warp core.
I had MP3 tracks for my car dedicated to this sound effect (both Enterprise and Voyager). With the subs, you could really feel it. Very soothing.
A fire crackling in a fireplace. I’m also quite relaxed by heavy rain.
If you get a fireplace app or channel and jack up the volume on that sucker, its awesome. You can really feel the sound. Very vestibular
Nice tip, gotta try that out.
Light rain on leaves
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.
The sound of rain on a tent mixed with a crackling fire, very relaxing.
My cat purring.
Cat’s purr
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.

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.
Crashing waves at the beach. Seagulls are little assholes but they add to the effect for me
Even assholes have their place and used
It’s a tie between the sound of heavy rain at night and that strange silentness you hear when it’s snowing heavily, the kind that you “hear” even inside the house which makes you want to go and check if it’s snowing!
The soothing tones of the dark souls 1 character creation menus
creaky wooden ship on stormy seas or rainy day steam train noises are so nice for me
