As a kid in Australia a fan.
As an adult, a fan plus tinnitusI heard there was a website called only fans, you might be eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenterested
Always down for a good blow
Assuming there are no power issues, sleeping with fans is much cooler than not sleeping with fans.
Hilary Duff CDs on loop. I felt like every song had something to relate too. Anytime I try to play them now and my friends tell be to turn it off.
Mostly nostalgia for me now. Remembering a time I had dreams.
Vin Scully(Dodgers), Dick Engberg(Angels, Rams), Chick Hearn (Lakers) and Jiggs McDonald(Kings) on my 9 volt transistor radio well hidden under the covers. So well hidden that it ended up switched off and in the drawer by morning.
Breeze, rustle of leaves, sounds from birds and insects. Fan if no breeze.
As a kid varius radio play cassettes like Benjamin Blümchen, Bibi Blocksberg, later the Star Wars soundtrack.
Nowadays various science shows on YouTube. Mainly astrophysics stuff. My favourites are Dr Becky, Harald Lesh and PBS Space Time.
Not astrophysics exactly, but you should check out Astrum. He even has Astrum Sleep content.

I never played sleepy music until I was a teen, and every night I played Cake - Fashion Nugget. Great, mellow tunes, and I learned ALL the lyrics subliminally!
Ok, I did listen to it awake, so maybe it wasn’t completely subliminal, but it’s been a while and I bet I could still sing 80% of the album from memory.
Nowadays, it’s just the fan or AC running.
EDIT: I typed the wrong Cake album originally.
That’s how I am with the bat out of hell album… Get off my lawn.
A radio either turned to an AM station far away to the point where it’s mostly brown noise with hints of someone speaking, or to some calm music.
Nowadays it’s mostly KnowledgeFight.
I don’t fall asleep listening to anything but my fan, but reading knocks me the fuck out most nights. Sometimes I can’t make it through a paragraph before catching myself with my eyes completely closed.
Hundreds of bullfrogs croaking the night away around a nearby pond. Now if I hear a bunch of frogs I get nostalgic.
Reeeeee! Haha
When I was a kid I had a record player and usually played a particular record that had various artists on it Like Johnny Horton (Battle of New Orleans) and Elvis Presley (Blue Suede Shoes).
Now 40+ years later, it’s usually stuff like Frog Leap Studios (Leo Morrachelli https://www.youtube.com/user/leolego/videos) mainly so I don’t have to hear my cats screaming around the house in their nightly turbo mode.
I still like Johnny Horton, but anything from Elvis makes my eye twitch.
Robot chicken. Now, I usually have on some kind of space documentary, creepypasta or some long gameplay videos.
If there is any discernible pattern to noise it keeps me awake (talking, music FUCKING STUPID MOTHER-FUCKING NIGHT BIRD). I use a noise machine with white noise or fan sounds running. Creates a lovely sound blanket from that mother-fucking night bird.
I shared a bedroom with my twin, so no audio. I prefer the sound of the AC on over off though, lovely background sound of nothingness.
Almost like white noise, right?
Silence, it was usually my pose rather than the background noise that affected sleep. When I sleep, I often look like I was carried out of the chamber of secrets.
