Your Favourite Noise While In Bed?

The Backwards Man

As you lie drifting off to sleep on a still, calm Summers night, with the window open and the nocturnal sounds coming in, what helps you head off to the land of Nod?

For me, it is the far away bleat of a lamb and it's mother, the occasional rumbling of tyres on the (not so) main road a couple of miles away, but most of all it is the sound of the quietness that wiil get me off.

The opposite of alarm clock.

The sound of a bear trap crunching on the thieving bast@rds shins while they are trying to break in to peoples houses.

Rabies

Squelch, squelch, squelch, squelch...


Ahhhhhhhh

Lashing rain on the window, the wind howling outside.

Yes, even in summer.

Waterbed?

Norfolk Enchants

The soothing sounds of an owl.

Pure silence, the best way to get to sleep.

Your ma's head banging off the headboard

A metronome or a ticking clock.

Who was the actor who couldn't sleep 'till the rainy season?

The noise of random drunks signing their rebel songs.

What 'gets me off'? as you put it...

Probably the sound of my woman at her point of orgasm, usually does the trick.

Pure silence,but 2 sounds I don't mind when I'm trying to get to sleep are the hoover and the hair dryer for some reason.

FanadMan

The sound of my ex sleeping beside me

Yup - me sad and can't sleep

JD DABA

The sound of a hard, intestinal, thunderous, wobbly forced fart, bursting from my anus. Followed by the flapping of my duvet.

Or the almost silent whisper and cool breeze if I choose to go silent-mode and spread the cheeks to prevent waking anybody.

honeybadger

Sad times?

Crooked Jack

Usually the gentle murmur of a dvd. i cant really sleep without something on to distract me. The Mask seems to work best. think it's cause i know it so well. an audiobook will do the trick as well.
A mate of mine cant sleep without the radio on static. Fu(kin weird.

Yup....2 nights and no sleep. So, not just sad times.....becoming extremely messed up head times now. Think I've been seeing things running up and down the walls due to lack of sleep lol. Damn it, the birds are singing so am getting up and going for a walk on the beach instead. Feckin exes - more trouble than their worth

I love the sound of the a ticking clock! I have one on the room and don't think I could sleep without it now.

Sometimes my dog sleep outside my bedroom door and I can hear him snoring or shuffling when he's having a dream at night. I love that too.

White noise. Because pure silence is too loud, when a car goes past or when somebody does something in the house its too noisy. The sound of my loud computer humming away or heavy rain preferrably.

Legs.Eleven

I live in an apartment block of Spaniards now and most nights and mornings are filled with a cacophony of farts, burps, shouting, meowing that sounds strangely like a baby in pain, "partying", nose blowing, Flamenco music playing (the man can only sing one song though), old lady who sounds like she´s orgasming hanging the clothes out (and she always seems to be hanging her clothes out), loud **** Spanish pop music, nose parps, screeches, protests, arguments, my own fella´s arse toots....and I sleep through it all. Put me anywhere now and I will sleep.


I´m from a seaside town in Dublin and my parent´s house is a 10 minute walk from the sea so I´d often fall asleep to the sound of only a fog horn growing up. Twas very pleasant.

Rain is good. But when I visit my parents I can hear my mum's rings clang off the boiler in the hot press (all the pipes run through my old room), and it's always made me feel safe and protected.
