I cannot handle silence, so most of the time I just tune to a staticky channel and listen to the buzz.

    White noise is calming and enjoyable, it has some relation to the heartbeat you hear in your mothers stomach as a baby. Thats why people love going to sleep when it's raining.

    There are the NOISE genres of music, it's all static and beeps and drones.

    I love the "harsh noise" stuff like Merzbow. He's rad!

    There is a common belief that radio static, or specifically white noise, can be very effective as a relaxation tool. Similarly, the sound of heavy rain emulates the white noise effect. So it's pretty normal to listen to it if you find it relaxing :)

    That actually sounds somewhat relaxing in a supernatural way. I don't think listening to static is common, but we all have different noises or activities that calm us.
