The most soothing sound I’ve ever heard was in a history lecture in college. Big class, 200-300 students. One of the few professors in the department that would let people have laptops out in class. He had a teaching cadence that involved occasional long pauses. In those moments, the room was flooded by the sound of over a hundred people typing on their laptops in every direction. It was mesmerizing. Of course very similar to rain, but man, it was incredible. What I would give to experience that soundscape whenever I pleased

Personally I’d absolutely hate to live near a busy street or highway but I like the sound of the train that goes by not all that far from where I live. I guess cause trains are a public space while cars are private. And even a cargo train means it’s carrying stuff for society to keep on chuggin, although I guess trucks do that too. And yet one could argue that a truck horn and a train horn are equally annoying, but while I find truck horns grating, I like train horns. Weird to think about

Trains really are the most soothing sound. When I was little, we'd always go up to my grandparents' ranch to help them with harvesting and just having a good time. Every night we'd leave our windows open to let the cool air in and the kids would always fight for the room that faced the tracks. I had some of the best dreams in that room with the gentle horns of the trains rolling through the hills and dancing through my ears.

10:45 you described my exact feelings perfectly. sometimes I get really wrapped up in my own head and it can be easy to forget how big and complex the world really is. when I hear the sound of a train horn off in the distance, it just reminds me that I'm not alone and that there are so many other people out there with their own lives and troubles.

I am surprised no one mentioned the sound of wood burning and cracking in a fireplace.

Adding onto the point you made about the train horn being a reminder there are other people out there while you go to sleep is almost exactly what comes to mind for me. From fifth grade to when I left for college I lived on the outskirts of Tampa and in a semi-rural environment so naturally all I heard at night was nature. Because of this I'd sometimes leave my radio on quietly at night just as a reminder the world still exists beyond the ink-black darkness of the woods and the train horn would only serve as another reminder of that fact.

I never realized how many people loved train sounds. But when I think about it, it's actually pretty comforting to me because it reminds me of home. I've right lived by a decently active set of tracks for years (coming up on eight years) and while walking next to the tracks when a train is going by is ear-grading, laying in bed late and night and hearing that slightly softer horn really does have a calming affect

As a Railfan, personally my favorite train horns are the Holden M3H, Leslie RS3L, and the Old Cast Nathan P5 and RS5T-RRO. The chords they make are so pleasing to listen to (up close is debatable, lol) and resonate within myself. Can't deny the Wabco A200 is a classic.

A weird one for me is the sound of a distant dog barking. I grew up with dogs and around them so I know that it can be annoying when they’re nearby and barking when you’re trying to sleep. However, when its distant, its very nostalgic. I realized this after I listened to Mac Millers- So It Goes, a dog is barking in the very beginning of the song and it actually sounds very pleasant to me. Odd choice but it got me interested into the idea/ question of what exactly makes a sound pleasant for different people. I also figured it has to do with what you grew up with and what was around you.

I personally love brown noise and industrial air vent sounds. A soothing, deep, cool rumble makes me feel calm immediately. Funnily enough, I used to leave by trains as well, but being a little kid they just scared the hell out of me, so I’ve always found train sounds unnerving lol. As for music, I love the artist Windows96. Deep Swim and Yujia Forest (two of my favorite songs by them) are indescribably beautiful and calming to me for some reason.

Same. We used to have coal trains run through our town, and the blaring of the horn and rumbles from the rails would echo all through the valley. It had a calming sound to it during the daytime, but damn I hated trying to sleep hearing it all night when I had to be up for school. Got to where I started having nightmares of trains somehow coming through my house without even being on a track lol. I still vividly remember that dream, and that was 29 years ago. Was so happy when we finally moved and was away from it (most I’ll hear now is a horn in the far away distance if you intentionally listen for it since they closed all the rails down in most places after the coal companies shut down) As for brown noise, it’s my fave. “Deep Analog Sound Machine” by crysknife007 right now is my go to for sleep and BG noise when things are too quiet in my house (living in a rural area far out from a city, nights can be eerily quiet, especially in winter). I think my KZread downloads is mostly a collection of 12hr+ brown noises for that purpose lol. Listened to them so much for 4 years straight that I’ve gotten my husband hooked on them, needing them to fall asleep to, as well. The low rumble is very relaxing.

Yeah to me, the horns of the local transit railroad always remind me of home. They are very distinct in sound profile and carry quite a distance. I can't recall a part of my life where I wasn't within earshot of an NJT K5LLA with its really distinct sound profile. The lack of it outdoors is as odd to my brain as not hearing birds in the summer.

@@ajsparx4133 well hehe experience plays a part. As I do railfan it actually helps that, while Nathan horn is ubiquitous (with exceptions) every railroad seems to have their own specific air pressure and tuning which can be picked up on. Railfanning ( and living) in an area with a lot of train tracks that go in similar directions when I'm at the spot the sound plays a more important role. An NJT tuned horn? Transit tracks 2 miles north. A Canadian horn? Refinery line 2 miles South. And NS or CSX horn? Get that tripod out. So with experience, it stops being conscious. I know whats where and ifs coming or going.

For me it has always been the nights where snow is falling, school is canceled and I can just watch. There is something about the way the wind whispers through the trees while the snow drifts in a playful way that puts my heart at ease. In fact, one night such as this, I went out at later than midnight to just walk in the yard and enjoy the snow falling.

I’m similar to some people in that distant train horns are a soothing, nostalgic sound to me. My grandparents lived 6 hours away from my family so we only visited for holidays or summer vacation. Once I was old enough, my parents would drop me off with them and I would get to spend two weeks out at their home, nestled in the countryside of Wyoming near the train tracks. I can picture the sound as well as the smell of a summer night breeze coming in through the window of the room that was designated as mine whenever I was there. Those were some of the most carefree times of my life, so I will always love the sound of distant train horns. Just writing this is making me tear up, as my grandma has now passed away, and my grandfather no longer lives at that house. I wish I could revisit one of those summers.

I grew up well off, so I used to sleep every night with an air conditioner that vibrates slightly, shaking a bit in the wall, the cooling system makes a whirring sound, thus it became my 'ambient noise' when sleeping.

Growing up in the middle of the woods, I always loved the sounds of bugs chirping at night accompanied by rustling leaves and the occasional hoot from an owl. The sound of cicadas in the summertime instantly put me in a good mood.

I live directly next to a busy train station, and the train horns go off very frequently, every 45 minutes or so during the day into the late night. I always found the sound relaxing, but when I see the train pass, I always think of what it might be like to hop on and go on an adventure, away from the business of life, and fade away into the sound of the horn.

My grandma lived in a crappy trailer park near a railroad. As a little kid i stayed there a lot. I'd always be woken up by the trains before the sun rose, it was so comforting to hear and I love train sounds now.

vsauce crawled so you could fucking fly

It’s the Kingassripper “farting on my roommate’s door” video. That is the most soothing sound.

I find really amusing the exploration of "sleeping sounds" mainly in music, its always facinating see how music from C418 or Vangelis for example, can be so relaxing while still mantaining character and a lot of musical depth, but despite that, I also find really interesting the point where music gets to be so simple that it looses a lot of that characteristics, and it starts to be sort of an exercise of designing new sounds or ambients pleassing to the human being.

There is all lot of trains where I live we even have a train as a monument. Everyday morning and night I will hear the train pass by and it is so nostalgic and comforting

The clip of the train you used at 9:03 was filmed in Hughson California at the corner of Whitmore and Santa Fe Ave. I go through there on my daily commute. Seeing a place I drive past daily on a solar sands video is something I never expected. The dollar tree and the body shop across the tracks made me realize where it was 😂

Whenever I’m at a water park, I’ve always gotta take time to sit down at the water playground. The soundscape it provides is such a calming, sublime, and even religious experience, heightened by your physical exhaustion from walking up all those water slide stairs all day…that is my favorite sound in the whole world.

The most soothing sound to me is when I go to the coffee shop in the library center I live by. It's so quiet, but the occasional typing on a laptop, turning of a book page, and clanking of mugs on tables mixed with the smells of books and coffee makes sitting there so enjoyable. Some other honorable mentions... The sound a paintbrush makes on a canvas. Wind blowing through trees and long grass on a spring day Flipping a page in a giant schoolbook and it makes that slicing sound When you're sitting in the passenger seat in a car at night (muted white noise mixed with silence and driving sounds) Morning rain hitting your tent in the asscrack of dawn met with that crisp air and nature doing its thing A clock ticking Sitting in your 3rd grade gymnasium with the rest of the school waiting for the assembly to start (echoing kid voices talking and laughing, bleacher sounds, sneakers skidding the floors).

Living near the sea, people expect me to say waves, but a lot of people overlook the noises the seagulls and other waterbirds make. Where I live harrowing-gulls make very loud almost gargle-ly noises that most people I know find super annoying, but I just find them mesmerising. Not exactly relaxing, but more like a reminder of appreciating other kinds of life that often live around me and my house. That plus the fact that they are usually most active during 6-7 am, so it's like a sea rooster for me.

I sleep with rain sounds nightly for my PTSD, It's so interesting seeing many of the ones I like being references here. Good stuff!

Train horns are one of if not my most favorite sound (I know, how could you guess lol). You would be surprised how big of a community there is out there of just train horn collectors. It's pretty hard to choose a favorite for me but my top 2 are either the Leslie RS3L or the WABCO E2B1. Earlier Nathan horns such as the M3s hit hard too.

The most soothing song I heard is Subwoofer Lullaby, especially at 1:12, it makes me feel inner peace and nostalgia at the same time, reminding me of times where I was still discovering the world and everything seemed so new and fascinating because I was just living life, not thinking about it.

I've been thinking about the sound of trains a lot lately. I haven't heard the sound of trains since moving out of my parents' home and to the city around 2 years ago. I think for me it is an intensely nostalgic sound. It reminds me of the innocence and joy of childhood.

Wow. That conclusion was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for your videos man

The notification for this video apparently

Good take on the ASMR. ASMR is a sensation akin to hearing or sight. It leads to relaxation, it is not equivalent to it. Additionally, sound is not the only trigger of ASMR. Visuals and touch are large components for many people, and I myself have had my ASMR triggered by reading text.

I can confirm that the sound of a trains horn is quite soothing. All my life I have lived in a neighborhood close to a highway and a railroad. When I lay down late at night with my window open, all I can hear are the distant thrums of cars and trains. As I write this comment right now, I am listening to the sound of the cars running past.

One of my new favorite videos by you Solar, loved this one! 💙💖

Hey, maybe mention steam locomotive whistles! At least how they were in the past. They were extremely unique and some could have a very haunting or almost “living voice” to them. One great example is the Norfolk and Western (among others) “Hooter” whistles. Very eerie and beautiful. They were able to blend into nature far better than the jarring horns of today. Think a flute vs a trumpet. I dream of being put to sleep by them😂

Rhubarb or #3 is one of the most relaxing songs I've ever heard as well. Every time I'm reading or relaxing I put it on and it really helps.

After my fan broke I realised that it’s absolutely the sound of it drowning out the loud background noises that helps me sleep. If not for the 30-50 feral chickens that run into my yard within 3-5 minutes of the sun going down, I don’t think I’d need a fan at all (provided it’s not too warm out).

I grew up in a rural Ohio home that used to be a farmstead, and it happened to be located about mile away from a major highway, maybe less. Far into its backyard, past fields and rolling hils, through a thick forest, droned the ever-present noise of tires on asphalt and semi-trucks carving through the wind. The noise was constant, yet subtle, blending into the wind and the sounds of nature, and seemed to rise from the very earth of the distant horizon. I'd often forget it was there in its ever-presence, then find myself renoticing it. You could hear it nearly everywhere on the property, including in many of the rooms lining the rear of the house, with varying degrees of volume. It, however, always seemed louder and more present at night. Lying in bed, I could hear it quietly passing through the wall, and it always filled me with a sense of peace. Just knowing that, even in the odd empty hours of the night, life was still going on out there far into the deep black... it gave me a sense of precence. Like I could hear the world breathing, soft and gentle in its sleep. It's almost melancholic, the dichotomy between rural serenity and mechanical droning should be incompatible; an unfortunate tragedy of location. But it felt more alive with it there than without. More in touch. Full. Real. Maybe it was just because I was a kid, and things seemed more special back then. But I do miss it all the same, much as I do many nostalgic things of the past. Perhaps I just miss that feeling of connection to the world, or what "the world" was and meant to me back then.

"Colored Noises"? Come on, get woke. "Noises of Color".

My favorite "sound" is "oldies playing in another room", mostly by Nemo's Dreamscapes here on youtube. I don't much care for rain sounds, but old somewhat muffled music became so important to me. During the worst year of my depression, I found Nemo's Dreamscapes and something about it called to me. I love steampunk so "old" music holds this place in my subconscious that I just love even though the victorian era and 30s-50s music aren't anywhere near each other. I guess it maybe makes me think of some eccentric old man in some whacky whimsical victorian house. Something feels so right and comforting. Some limbo between an (idealized) past that never existed and the hopes for a safe place

Extreme YIKES

Your videos are soothing Mr. Sands. I like to put them on when I work on a project or go take a sleep

Mr Sands, you're awesome. Every video you make is perfectly crafted, and the time and effort you make and do for them is nothing to sneeze at

The last few paragraphs were sublime. Excellent work, as usual

Some of my favorite sleep videos lately have been highway driving in the rain. I grew up in FL and I loved taking my dad's car everywhere. Most of the time I would turn the music up and roll the windows down, but on rainy days, I'd keep the music down and the windows up. Some of my favorite memories/experiences have been on a highway in rain, and those sleep videos feel like I've been driving for hours, then swapping seats and taking a break from the mental and visual strain of driving, so someone I trust deeply can drive. It is far from natural, but it feels like home.

As someone who grew up in a town with tons of trains Hearing dozens of them nightly I'm definitely one who finds the sound of the horns soothing Takes me back to my childhood Those warm summer nights Trying to fall asleep And hearing nothing but the sound of a train coming through town

Something about your videos is so amazing, idk how but I can both do work and listen to your videos without getting distracted while still retaining information from both. That’s literally never happened before, this is amazing.

i just love youre videos, ever since you did that one about the frear of the ocean ive been hooked

Honestly yeah. I like the thought- "The world is still busy out there, but you are here, you are far from it, your job is done for today, you can rest."

I love the sound of negly flowing water - like the ones in those small garden fountains your neighbors might have? Or the ones flowing out of bamboo sticks? Yeah, I love those

Videos like these are a fantastic reminder to slow down and enjoy some of the smallest details of life and I love them

I love these longer vidoes from you.
