As blogged earlier I have no cable TV. I do have a nice TV and DVD/VCR though so I wanted to make use of them in some way. I have heard of people using their TVs as false fish tanks and things like that. So I investigated a bit and ended up getting an aquarium DVD and a Fireplace DVD. Both are really cool and come with several different options to choose from. The fireplace is nice to relax to at night, giving off the light flickers and crackling sounds. The aquarium is just as nice and both DVDs have roughly a 1/2 hour of footage before they seamlessly loop. (Or at least I haven't noticed a seam yet.) After figuring how nice these were to have around. I went online and recorded a few loop sound clips. All the loops are of rain in some form, heavy, light, on roof, on concrete, with wind chimes, with thunder, etc... Then I turned my favorite 6 loops into 10 minute tracks and burned them to CD. Talk about relaxing. Just last night I fell asleep to that CD and woke up when it was over. Aslo a nice combo with the fireplace.
I will probly do a little more investigating with the sound loops to get some nice background noise for day to day stuff. Maybe some ocean sounds, trees and birds, and stuff...

I would say my favorite sounds is rain/thunder. Although I must admit the ocean is wonderful its not something I am use to hearing. Ive tried listening to those rain forest soundtracks before but with all the birds and such its too noisy :D
Yea man. Those over the counter style soundtracks are never quite what I am looking for. Hooray for the net!
I did, after a straight month of no TV get an antenna so I could get the local news station. Everything else on that channel is junk anyhow so hopefully it won't prove to be a distraction. Nothing else comes in very well.
