I use one of those sound machines, or tune to on the Sirius channels, as a background to sleep. From the hum of a fan to the rat-tat-tat of a woodpecker, I like noises!
For those who have suggested to me that I move as far away as I can (it happens much more often than you'd think, unless you know me) I have come up with another plan for my Golden Years - a move to Australia, to live among and enjoy the sounds of the lyrebird. Lyrebirds are two types of virtually flightless Australian birds that can mimic sounds - natural and artificial. They say they can duplicate any sound - from another bird or another animal or a chainsaw!
They get the name "lyrebird" from the male of the species having a huge tail in the shape of the musical instrument the lyre, which they fan out in a courtship ritual. It's similar to a male human strutting around in colorful garb, playing a guitar and wailing songs of love.
To me, there's nothing less exciting than looking at nature and hearing nothing.
