I love and miss the sound of water. It totally relaxes me. I grew up spending every weekend at a beach house and hearing rain fall on my roof. These days I'm stuck in a concrete box in Tokyo and I miss being around running water a lot. When it rains (like tonight, massive storms) open a couple of windows and just listen to it fall outside with a glass of wine.

Yes, I know I need to get out of the city. Soon... soon.

Anyone else the same?

I'll take pics of the pool and the river in my back yard for ya ....
Or do you prefer video?

I have several nature sounds files, thunderstorms, rain and birds that I often like to play on a loop while sleeping. Yeah I find the rain sounds quite relaxing as well.

having grown up on the cape, i don't ever see myself being able to live far from the ocean. it's a thirty second drive to the bay from my apartment, and about a 2 minute one to get to the atlantic. i could never give it up. it's too beautiful, too relaxing. standing at the ocean's edge with the waves lapping at your feet in the sand-- that's a good sound right there.

I lived right near the ocean (Neptune/Atlantic Beach) for years; I rarely went ...

I live within a few minutes' drive of hundreds of beaches, yet rarely bother going. That said, I know what Nick means about comforting sounds. Rain on a galvenized roof sounds awesome, and I always feel like something's missing when I go away and don't hear crickets and tree frogs at night.

Dont you like..sweep the beach out of you house ?

Nah. If I stand on my porch, I can see a little bit of the sea. From my roof, I can see a bunch of it. But it's a little over two blocks away from my house.

Fuckit. I'll google-earth it.

the sound of waves makes me feel dizzy.

I was expecting larger sand masses. Stupid I know.

actually, just thinking about that sound is making me dizzy right now. to the point of feeling like i should probably go lay down.

I was expecting larger sand masses. Stupid I know.

They're around, just not on that exact piece of shoreline.

I think for me it's part of the "grass is greener" syndrome. I'm based in Minato in Tokyo, about 500 yards from the Tokyo tower and have a pretty sweet life in terms of work, marriage, fun etc. This town is great to be in when you're young for sure. Just miss the water sometimes.

awesome, that was just the pick-me-up I needed. cockhead

Yeah, my bad. Our beaches suck compared to Barbuda's

I like the sound of snow.  Snow FTW

Good thing it's year-round where you live ....
hahaha ...

It is?  It hasn't snowed here for quite a while.

That's a New England joke, man ...
Southern NE people joke like that ....

I really could stand having more snow.

heh ....

See?!?!

I'm forwarding these pictures to detroit.

I took your advice and looped a rainforest sound last night; I didn't wake up until 12PM ...

Hey underclass:

Get one of those little rock garden waterfalls.
