can't sleep
1. The sound of ocean waves
Like. I enjoy being near water. Lakes and rivers in particular make me feel calm.
2. The sound of cars driving by
Indifferent unless your car sounds like the wrath of god.
3. The sound of thunder
Big favourite! Bonus points if it's so loud it shakes the walls.
4. The sound of rainfall
I like torrential downpours.
5. The sound of someone doing dishes in another room
Dislike, puts me on edge.
6. The sound of someone chewing gum
Indifferent.
7. The sounds of someone eating
Indifferent. Just, like. Keep your mouth closed.
8. Metal silverware clinking on plates
Indifferent.
9. The sound of metal knives being sharpened against metal.
Indifferent
10. The sound of harp music
Nice!
11. The sound of bagpipe music
I actually really like it, but it needs to be blasted over the hilltops and vibrate all your bones or else what's the point.
12. Celine Dion
She's a national treasure.
13. Janis Joplin
Like!
14. Enya
Like. I think she lives alone in a castle now with her cats, which is also great.
15. ACDC
aw hell yeah
16. The sound of a single violin playing
Like, but I prefer it when there's more than one playing.
17. The sound of people talking softly in another room while you're trying to sleep
Dislike. I physically cannot ignore people's voices so I'll end up eavesdropping the whole time.
18. Wind rustling through trees
Wind blowing through spruce trees on the lakeshore is 👌🏻👌🏻
19. Rainfall
Very good.
20. Electric guitar
I grew up in a house where the electric guitar was so loud the building would literally vibrate but despite that I still like it lmao
21. Silence
Dislike. Then it's just me and my tinnitus.
22. Halloween sounds
ooh yes
22. Any other sounds you want to mention that you have strong feelings about?
Used to inexplicably hate the sonar pings of submarines.
22. Favorite musical instrument or sound?
Acoustic guitar, piano, voice, tagalharpa.
Distant trains, loon calls (it's a bird jsyk)

1. The sound of ocean waves.
I love it. I really miss the sea...
2. The sound of cars driving by.
If it's the nightly urban grind where I can see the lights shine through my windows to the sound of tires on rain, sure. If it's my thug neighbours going 35mph on their "modified" motorbike in winding suburbia with old people and children, hell no.
3. The sound of thunder
Exciting, but scary. I like how nature reminds people who's boss.
4. The sound of rainfall
I don't pay enough attention to it when it happens.
5. The sound of someone doing dishes in another room
Neutral.
6. The sound of someone chewing gum
I hardly hear it, but if they're the lip smacking sort that's kind of disgusting.
7. The sounds of someone eating
lol, see above.
If it sounds like the acted 'eating noises' from the Simpsons, I'm calling the local funeral director for quotes on a me-sized coffin.
8. Metal silverware clinking on plates.
It's fine.
9. The sound of metal scraping against metal, such two knives being sharpened against one another.
To be honest, I look up foley sounds for the enjoyment and this is some of the things I like to hear when it's 'just right', but in real life I'm probably doing something else and it would be distracting.
10. The sound of harp music
Who doesn't like harps?
11. The sound of bagpipe music
SCOTLAND FOREVEEEEER
I might just not link that because it's borderline spam
Aren't bagpipes traditionally war instruments?
Bagpipes are like an auditory middle finger, I love it lol
12. Celine Dion's voice (a smooth-voiced Canadian singer whose voice seems to, nonetheless, annoy some people lol)
Oh god, the celebrity questions. I don't remember what she sounds like.
13. Janis Joplin's voice (a famous, scratchy-voiced American folk singer)
Who?
14.Enya and other new age music
I dunno who that is m8
15. ACDC (Australian! classic rock band)
Not really a fan of classic rock.
16. The sound of a single violin playing
It really depends, violins hit that frequency which sounds like a shrill human voice and if it isn't carefully controlled, it's like nails on chalkboard to me. I only like hearing violins in prerecorded produced music and hardly ever when they're played live and especially by amateurs.
17. The sound of people talking softly in another room while you're trying to sleep.
uhhh I don't live around that many people (lucky?)
18. Wind rustling through trees
Great! Until the wind blows tree bits into my eyes and it feels like the earth is punishing me for trying to enjoy nature.
19. Wind howling
If the wind was a person I'd hug it but I'd settle for stretching my arms out and letting it knock me over.
20. Electric guitar
It's okay.
21. The sound of silence (literally, the sound of silence, not the Paul Simon song)
There's always something going on so I don't think I know what true silence sounds like.
But the song is great too!
22. Creepy Halloween sounds (such as witches cackling, doors creaking open, etc)
I present to thee: the theremin.
And this infernal thing.
23. Any other sounds you want to mention that you have strong feelings about?
I'm tempted to rant about it... but let's just say there's someone in my area who I've called the Retching Man and he is a very noisy biohazard.
24. Favorite musical instrument or sound?
The sound of a grand piano feels like it almost heals my soul ;_;
I love it. I really miss the sea...

I had no idea. Fascinating.
I think before she lived with a couple that help create the unique, choral sound of her music and/or produce it, or something like that. And I always kind of wondered if... well...you know. Anyway. She's so private with her personal life, it's hard to know anything for sure. Rarely ever does concerts. Living alone in a castle seems so fitting for her because she's such a mysterious, ethereal public figure.
