I can't fall asleep to either. I can tolerate noise, like a thunderstorm, but even construction sounds are interesting enough to keep me up with questions like: "I wonder what tool makes that sound."
replyThe sound of a fan does it for me. Not the motor sound perse, but the blades of a powerful big fan cutting the wind. I’m addicted to it.
replyMe too. Got an air filter near the bed with a quiet enough motor that all I hear is the woosh. Its also handy for when nearby forest fires degrade the air quality.
