Soothing Sounds of Soapy Rug Cleaning?

I am not making this up, could not even imagine it. There's a guy in Accra, Ghana who has a rug cleaning business. A year or so ago, he filmed a rug being cleaned, complete with sound and posted it on YouTube. He got lots of views, started making money, so he kept it up. One he posted a month ago got 2.9 K views.
I heard him interviewed on Marketplace.org yesterday. He has combined his carpet cleaning business with "soothing soapy sounds" and increased his income, not to mention getting a lot of attention.
Would listening to a rug being scrubbed with soap make you feel calm and collected?
I don't think I should put a link here, but you can Google "soapy rug sounds" to get all relaxed and mellow. (I guess)

Too bad that didn't occur to you sooner, @JudyEv.

I have more than 2.9K views on some of my music videos. I have never been "monetized." But I do enjoy the sound of my dishwasher running.

@JamesHxstatic It really is. I also like the SMELL of laundry rooms.

I would any day prefer listening to the bird chirps than what you have suggested
Different strokes for different folks I guess

@JamesHxstatic 
When I feel tired I watch those weird videos, they are relaxing.

No, it would irritate me immensely for wasting precious time. Soapy rug sounds vs. water fall? The latters got it.
I wonder what other crazy stuff can be found on YT.

When I heard this interview, I couldn't believe that people would watch/listen to noise like that.
