I thought this would be a thread about tinitus, you only realise your ears have been hissing when you get the silence. I used to spend a lot of weekends in my van on beaches around the UK and have to say the sound of the sea sends me off and calms me.

White noise, if it's silent, I feel like the slightest noise would wake me up and I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep

I've been in the country, lived in the West End in London and other cities. I'll take the silence any day, rather than white noise.

I like the sound of rain on the windows and roof and also I find a fan good for drowning out unwanted noise and I like the gentle breeze

Complete silence and complete darkness.

I also work best in complete silence, which is almost impossible to achieve as you can imagine. However I can very easily "filter out" other noises around me. To the extent that the missus came in to my office because my phone was ringing on my desk and I did not even hear it. It was 30cm away from me.

I was engaged in a very deep analytical task and focussing 100% on it.

I sleep with a fan on every night. I can’t sleep without it and it’s been like this since I can remember

Working permanent nights I don't get many days where there is no noise and having 2 heavy footed teenage sons living with me wouldn't matter if I was living in the country they'd still sound like a herd of cattle running through the house

I used to live in Penzance very little noise at night just the far off sounds of the sea, then my family moved to Bristol and to me that was just absolute bedlam especially in the morning I hated listening to the city waking up, now I live in South Wales and I love the peaceful tranquility of silence, but if ever I can't sleep I do tend to listen to short horror stories on YouTube and those tend to make me pass out, one day I may get to listen to one all the way through.

Seems there's different forms of tinitus not all the time but some times I get a low dull constant machine like more grunge noise ringing in my ears .especially early in the mornings .just can't shake it .have to get up to get relief.

Yes she was a nightmare even then

Sound of the rain right now is making me want to sleep. Not helping that I'm alone at work either.

If I'm tired I can sleep through anything.

I don't get these people who enjoy the sound of the wind and rain when falling asleep.

No thanks!

Silence for me, door closed, dark room.
