Low- to mid-volume fans, humidifiers, nebulizers, the fans on my computer rig, the refrigerator fan, what-have you... heck, even the diswasher, strangely enough; all of these sounds make me incredibly relaxed. I really don't have a clue why. Is it normal?
I am the same way. Any kind of white noise.
I think it is because it drowns out any other kind of noise we wouldn't be expecting (People making noise outside, house creaking.)
That's strange, but I've always slept better if the dishwasher or the washing machine was turned on. I think that's because if you try to fall asleep in total silence, it's a lot easier to hear (or imagine to hear) various noises that might make you uncomfortable.
Normal. I sometimes leave my fan on just for the noise when I go to bed.
Because it's rhythmic perhaps? Rhythm soothes people. The reason we rock babies to sleep is the same reason we listen to music as adults.
