My mood like my happy mood, maybe my joyful mood, maybe my peaceful mood.
If I get irritated from a noise but There are certain or specific sounds that are very soothing to me.
Soothing, calm sounds.
Gentle sounds like rain falling on a tin roof or the waves crashing onto the shore, or the sound of being underwater in the ocean, where you can hear the crackling corals and the small bubbles popping underwater.
I love the sound of the crackling bubbles in the ocean or the sound of the breeze on a windy day.
The breeze and the chills.
I like hearing how the wind whooshes and blows.
The whooshes and blows are very soothing to hear.
I like how the wind sways the trees.
The wind blows And the trees sway back and forth.
The wind can even create a new song, a beautiful song with the wind chimes.
The wind chimes creating soft and calming beautiful music.
I love taking naps outside, where I can hear the birds chirping and I can hear the wind chimes dangling and making music.
And I can hear the breeze and the trees all creating a harmonious, beautiful sound.
I love the peaceful, soothing sounds of nature.
I love taking naps in a hammock outside where you can hear all of these sounds while trying to fall asleep.
Any water sounds in general for me are very soothing.
It's very peaceful to listen to water sounds while just laying down.
Some trickling water sounds give me goose bumps.
The trickling water falling from one end to the other.
It gives me chills all down my spine.
I get goosebumps or chills if I hear something too close to my ear.
Subtle sounds give me the chills.
A subtle sound is something very gentle and not very noticeable.
It's subtle.
What sounds give you goosebumps or chills?
Are there any sounds that remind you of a certain person or service.
For example, when I hear certain bells or whistles, they remind me of street vendors street vendors that go around and sell things in Mexico.
They could be selling food or toys or a service.
There is this one street vendor in Mexico that goes around and blows a whistle.
Every time he comes around, he blows a whistle and he sells camotes.
He sells sweet potatoes, a sweet Mexican treat that we eat in Mexico.
They blow a very loud whistle.
Then, when the garbage collectors come around, they ring a bell.
They ring a very loud bell.
But they ring a bell to let us know that they are coming to take our garbage.
So when I hear that loud bell, I get all of my things, my trash from the bathroom, my trash from the kitchen, and I put it outside for them to take.
So, what sounds remind you of a certain person, product, or service?
Lots of sounds make me feel nostalgic.
Maybe not necessarily sounds, but songs.

Music.
The songs that I listened to when I was younger with my sister or my cousins remind me and take me back to certain moments, usually very fun and lovely moments.
What's a sound or a song or a noise that makes you feel nostalgic?
Nostalgic for the past, longing for a past moment.
For me, music is a huge part of my life.
I listen to music every single day, all day long.
I try to take the time to listen, enjoy and sing my favorite songs and dance to my favorite songs every day.
Some of my favorite artists right now are singers like Kali Uchis, Karen y los Remedios and Danny Ocean.
What's your favorite song to listen to at the moment?
And why do you like listening to it every single day?
Do you think a song has the power to change different moments in your life?
Do you think A song has the power to change someone's mood or emotions.
When I'm feeling sad or down, I put on sad songs.
I feel even more sad and down, But sometimes a happy song will unintentionally play as I'm feeling sad.
And I will instantly feel happy after feeling very sad.
So I think that music can definitely affect my mood and my emotions.
I think so can sounds and noises.
If I'm listening to traffic or people yelling all day long, I will definitely feel more stressed and irritated all day.
Whenever I listen to white noise or ASMR, I feel a lot more relaxed.
It's Easier to fall asleep when listening to white noises.
White noises like fans or like TV static. or like the hum of the air conditioning.
How do you feel about white noises?
Do they help you to fall asleep?
ASMR I don't use to fall asleep.
However, I like watching ASMR eating videos.
They always make me feel hungry afterwards.
And I really enjoy hearing the chewing noises.
Even if that sounds weird to some people, I really like it.
Do you like listening to ASMR videos?
If so, what do you like using them for?
For eating?
For sleeping?
Or just for relaxing and for fun?
Even in a big city, I enjoy listening to the chatter.
The chatter between different people in the background.
Background noises like people talking or people walking make me feel very at ease, like there are more people around.
Background noises like people talking, children laughing, or playing.
But background noises can also be annoying.
Background noises like traffic.
Traffic can really get on my nerves.
If something gets on your nerves, then they really annoy you.
But things like traffic jams get on my nerves. some alarm clocks even.
In the morning, when they go off, they are so loud.
And some people have very obnoxious alarm clocks.
It's not a good way to wake up. after sleeping for so long.
And if you sleep with someone who is snoring a person who snores is really frustrating because it makes it really difficult to fall asleep.
At least for me, I can't fall asleep next to a snorer.
I'm not a snorer.
At least I think I'm not a snorer.
Are you a snorer?
Do you use really obnoxious alarm clocks?
Do you want your soccer analysis more direct than an arsehole set piece?

If so, why?
How do you justify annoying alarm clocks?
Do you know anyone who uses obnoxious alarm clocks?
I think it's very important to be surrounded by peaceful and pleasant sounds.
