As a kid in Australia a fan.
As an adult, a fan plus tinnitusI heard there was a website called only fans, you might be eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenterested
Always down for a good blow
Assuming there are no power issues, sleeping with fans is much cooler than not sleeping with fans.
Vin Scully(Dodgers), Dick Engberg(Angels, Rams), Chick Hearn (Lakers) and Jiggs McDonald(Kings) on my 9 volt transistor radio well hidden under the covers. So well hidden that it ended up switched off and in the drawer by morning.
Breeze, rustle of leaves, sounds from birds and insects. Fan if no breeze.
If you’re looking for bed time stories for adults (non-sexual haha) then I highly recommend the podcast “nothing much happens” by Kathryn Nicolai. She has an amazingly soothing voice perfect for bedtime and she writes her own stories! I normally knock out in less than 10 mins when I pop her on my podcasts now.
Is there a way I can haz specific episodes of whatever like in a portable file I can retain? I wanna do freaky audio stuff to it lol
As a kid, it was the local oldies station for a while, then swapped to this long-form recording of ocean surf my parents had on CD.
These days a fan is fine, though I’ll put on rain or surf white noise, or ambient music, with headphones if I’m travelling somewhere & it’s noisy.
Underwater is really nice too, particularly bubbly

Gotta check that out. I really like the South Park Christmas album
I don’t fall asleep listening to anything but my fan, but reading knocks me the fuck out most nights. Sometimes I can’t make it through a paragraph before catching myself with my eyes completely closed.

I never played sleepy music until I was a teen, and every night I played Cake - Fashion Nugget. Great, mellow tunes, and I learned ALL the lyrics subliminally!
Ok, I did listen to it awake, so maybe it wasn’t completely subliminal, but it’s been a while and I bet I could still sing 80% of the album from memory.
Nowadays, it’s just the fan or AC running.
EDIT: I typed the wrong Cake album originally.
That’s how I am with the bat out of hell album… Get off my lawn.
Hundreds of bullfrogs croaking the night away around a nearby pond. Now if I hear a bunch of frogs I get nostalgic.
Reeeeee! Haha
When I was a kid I had a record player and usually played a particular record that had various artists on it Like Johnny Horton (Battle of New Orleans) and Elvis Presley (Blue Suede Shoes).
Now 40+ years later, it’s usually stuff like Frog Leap Studios (Leo Morrachelli https://www.youtube.com/user/leolego/videos) mainly so I don’t have to hear my cats screaming around the house in their nightly turbo mode.
I still like Johnny Horton, but anything from Elvis makes my eye twitch.
The Star Wars audio cassette. No idea what it would do for me today, but I miss that tape.
Now I just listen to rain or ocean waves on Alexa.
You should try to find it, is it on Youtube if you search it?
Like
Star Wars [name of episode] original sountrack
Lets make this happen for ya 🤠
It’s not the soundtrack. It’s like, the radio play or something. I can still hear the narration.
Vader grips the rebels throat
“We intercepted no transmissions. This is a consular ship. We’re on a… diplomatic mission.”
Which episode or work?
Episode IV? Do you know anyone who voice acted in it?
They produced episodes IV-VI. Mark Hammill and Anthony Daniel’s were among the film cast who reprised their roles.
It’s really good.
I had Episode 4 and maybe 6?
Who voice-acted do you know?
Other than the narrator it was all original audio from the movies I think. No idea who the narrator was.
It’s incomplete, but it’s here: https://youtu.be/72rovnIg85k?si=NZxuz7VqM4GjKaZp
I think it’s this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_Star_Wars
Almost certainly this:
Robot chicken. Now, I usually have on some kind of space documentary, creepypasta or some long gameplay videos.
Beatles albums then, rain sounds now
Silence, it was usually my pose rather than the background noise that affected sleep. When I sleep, I often look like I was carried out of the chamber of secrets.
A radio either turned to an AM station far away to the point where it’s mostly brown noise with hints of someone speaking, or to some calm music.
Nowadays it’s mostly KnowledgeFight.
