low marimba
with bass boost/treble reduction is even better
my favorite asmr triggers are tapping, scratching, wood, and slime
Wind blowing though pine trees.
I have this memory from when I was a kid. I was standing in the middle of the woods at my grandparents, watching big fluffy snow flakes fall around me. The only sound I could hear was a light breeze blowing through the pine trees. I don’t know why but it almost felt magical. To this day I still love that sound.
Train whistle in the distance. Light rain and thunder.
Light rain on leaves
Crashing waves at the beach. Seagulls are little assholes but they add to the effect for me
Even assholes have their place and used
Cat’s purr
Locally, indoors? Silence.
I like to be able to hear whatever is going on outside. Ideally, that would also be silence, but if something is going on outside, I like to be alert and aware of it.
I’ll also take a little rain and occasional thunder outside, as usually people aren’t acting a fool outside during rainy weather.

The gentle thrum of a Federation starship’s warp core.
I had MP3 tracks for my car dedicated to this sound effect (both Enterprise and Voyager). With the subs, you could really feel it. Very soothing.
A fire crackling in a fireplace. I’m also quite relaxed by heavy rain.
If you get a fireplace app or channel and jack up the volume on that sucker, its awesome. You can really feel the sound. Very vestibular
Nice tip, gotta try that out.
A babbling brook.
The sonic charges in Star Wars Episode II
Was so happy they brought those back for BoBF
The soothing tones of the dark souls 1 character creation menus
Partner’s giggle
I can’t decide, there are too many:
Mongolian throat singing with little to no instruments.
The sound of a plane cabin (I think its brown or pink noise)
The fire crackling of a fire place or furnace.
Ocean waves or waterfall or river noise.
Slowly and softly played piano.
A stew slowly cooking.
Sound of gentle brushing your head hair.
You win
I feel like the plane cabin one is more green noise
Stew cooking one is great, check out magma too
thats hard but my top three is a light rain storm so just a bit of far away thunder, waves, and campfire. I have found some recordings of a compfire on a beach in a rainstorm and its just the best.
