low marimba
with bass boost/treble reduction is even better
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.
Crashing waves at the beach. Seagulls are little assholes but they add to the effect for me
Even assholes have their place and used
creaky wooden ship on stormy seas or rainy day steam train noises are so nice for me
Moderate rain and distant thunder.
The save room music in resident evil 4.
Jokes aside my most relaxing sound is heavy rain on a tin roof. Followed by cats purring.
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.
I feel like the plane cabin one is more green noise
Stew cooking one is great, check out magma too
You win
the sound of capitalism within the apple app store
The sonic charges in Star Wars Episode II
Was so happy they brought those back for BoBF
Probably a soft Rhodes keyboard when it comes to something more dynamic, but other than that I’d be tied for the sound of rain and the sound of waves.
Cat’s purr
Rain and thunder outside while inside in the evening.
Also, due to occupational damage, the sound of an offshore seismic source going off in the distance ever 10-12 seconds. The sound and the low frequency shake of the ship means everything is working as it should.
The sound of rain on a tent mixed with a crackling fire, very relaxing.
My cat purring.
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.

I don’t know about most, but generally those “background sound” sort of ambient things are pretty relaxing.
goes looking on YouTube for some examples

I think that the shakuhachi, a Japanese bamboo flute, is relaxing to listen to.
