I can't sleep, period, unless it's time. When it is, I hear nothing, you can move the house with me in it. After 4 hours, a cat can gag in the kitchen I am there before it dries. When I wake in the country at 2am, without lights, I watch the animals and stars in the dark. I'll download my camera and talk you through a few days ago later on
@Rasta @MaJ1 Wife and I sleep with a fan on. It masks out any background sounds of London, or noises in the house. No fan, bad sleep. When I go to a hotel, I have to find an alternate, or take a small portable fan with me. I'm away for gigs sometimes on my own, then I just use a radio station from a speaker by the bed, as I can sleep to music, but wife can't.

This may help you? I'm also troubled by sounds, I'll go deeper first. As a senior Marine Engineer, when you hear a strange sound, you must investigate, no matter what time, or where. Lives may depend on your snappy response and critical thinking. A bearing and turbine make a high-pitched whine. Motar Bombs and 3.50 inch guns make big booms, and diesels purr like kittens. I can sleep though those. But power off? fans die, and it's quiet. That wakes me instantly, I investigate
@FreakyFwoof @MaJ1 And as the ADHD keeps my mind too active to let me sleep, and on the other end is worry, about absolutely everything. If I stay in bed and don't get up, I'll begin to make myself sick from anxiety so I just get up. I found #BrownNoise that helps. You check this out?

I use it to cancel thought noises too :P
@FreakyFwoof @MaJ1 When Records were how we *streamed* LOL, I had Environmentals Albums, The sound of the surf (which you will enjoy when I find one) and the sounds of the birds.. And for my new baby, the sounds of the womb, which comforts newborns and young infants.
I've experimented or studied moods created by music. As a former DJ, playing music is the least of your worries, it's everything else, observing the crowd, finding and recording triggers, and sounds or songs that make people happy
