I love it when I hear the rain pouring down... as every drop falls onto the roof or ground. I love the sound of the waves in the beach. I love the sound of the leaves of the trees being blown. How about you? Please do share your favorites...

It would have to be the gentle breeze. Somewhere at 2-5 MPH. Waves and waterfalls are nice sounding too.

I love the chirping bird in the trees, I also like the frog singing at night after rain. Luckily in my workplace I have all the beautiful background sound like the sound of the waves, the chirping birds and frog singing at night. Sometimes I hear the squirell too from the coconut trees. But the most beautiful of all that is the chirping birds... I love it..

"...also like the frog singing at night after rain." —Love that, too! Love the sound of crickets chirping as well. "Luckily in my workplace I have all the beautiful background sound.." —You definitely are lucky! I would've loved to work in place like yours! :)

I love the sound of the bird chirping early in the morning. The sound of the waves that tap the shore gently. The sound of the leaves when I walk on them. The sound of the rain on my window sil. Above all the sound of the wind that blows through the bamboos.

Waves and ocean are definitely a favorite. I love the beach! I love the sound of rain, depending on when and how cold i is. If I'm sitting in here shivering under an afghan, I just want it to go away and warm up! A gentle rain in spring is nice, though, and very cleansing. I also love to hear the birds singing outside my window here.

My favorite back ground noise is rain falling gently on a tin roof when I am trying to sleep. When I was a kid that would put me to sleep more than anything. I also love to hear Robins sing.

"...rain falling gently on a tin roof when I am trying to sleep.' —Same here. Having the rain to listen to when you're about to sleep can be so calming.

I could listen to rain falling on a tin roof for hours. I love the sounds of the beach. I bought a tape of both. My husband thought I was nuts until he listened to the rain and thunder on the tape. Now he loves it too. I also like the sound of a train in the distance.

"I bought a tape of both." — ooh wow! I want to get one of those, too! I'd love to play it before going off to sleep. "...also like the sound of a train in the distance." — that's weird. For me, I think the sound of a train is more disturbing than relaxing... :)

I do Love the sound of rain so much.I'm just a country girl at heart,raised in the country,and love nothing more than to hear the rain on a metal or tin rooftop...i used to love to spend time in the barn just to hear that sound.In fact i can remember one time laying on the hay and falling asleep :)I made a great video called gentle rain,Soothing Sounds of Nature and put it on youtube.I am fairly new here and have just learned that we aren't supposed to put links in here so i wont...but you can go to youtube and just type in the search( Gentle Rain,Soothing Sounds of Nature )I am CherokeeRoseMo there,and you can see it if you'd like I love all Nature sounds

I'm also a big fan of the rain. When I was staying in a cabin on vacation, I could hear the rain on the metal roof. It was secluded, so that was pretty much the only noise until I had a bear under my porch! I just like the sound of water rushing in general. There's something undeniably beautiful and powerful about the element.

"There's something undeniably beautiful and powerful about the element." — Yeah, I agree with you on that one. :)
