As a kid I rarely listened to anything, these days I put on Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio show, just go bacl to the start I've heard up to the third phase often but not the further ones as much. In the more recent past it may have been a Harry Potter (UK) book or again Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy voiced by Stephen Fry. Guess that's a lot of UK stuff considering I'm Canadian, but Fry has such a nice voice to drift off to.

As a kid? Nothing. Just silence.
Today? My tinnitus, quietly humming away.
Now,.if I'm in a very weird mental spot and just can't spin down to rest, I put on The Might Jingles' World of Warships gameplay videos. His English voice just puts me out in moments.
Have you thought about doing that more often. I feel like its actually heathier lol. Everytime i wake up to pure silence is troublesome to me. I like things playing even if impossibly quiet cuz I still pick up on it

Recording of waves or white noise from a fan.
As a kid in Detroit? Distant gunfire, most summer nights.
Now as an adult in the suburbs? Usually a fan, because my wife prefers that and I don't mind.
Where you at now? Detroitian suburbs?
Usually just a fan, but a few nights ago I left The Twilight Zone on in the background and it was very cozy to sleep to.
When I was a kid, I fell asleep to a fan (and still do).
When I became a teen though, it was the time of the very early beginnings of ASMR, and man it was the shit back then. I'm not sure why or how but I was extremely sensitive to it.
Sadly overtime that sensitivity went away, and although it is relaxing to listen to, I don't get the same "effect" from it.
P.S no it didn't make me horny.
As a kid? My drunk dad fucking shit up downstairs. Falling down the stairs. Throwing plates at the tv.
As an adult? "Hey it's Josh from Lets Game it out! Today we're checking out Satisfactory! So NEW GAME!"

A cassette on one of those small kid stereos, later it was my mom reading me stuff. I don't know if I could listen to music falling asleep but nowadays I have YT videos on and lots of white noise to drown out the crackhead neighbours upstairs.
