    I am pretty laid back about sounds... don't mind babies crying, kids being noisy, people humming, whistling etc.. We are having building work carried on directly outside our office.. my colleague is triggered by this.. but it truly doesn't worry me.. 

    As to soothing.. a cat's purring is pretty neat.. I go to sleep most nights to the sound of a big white cat with a purr like a motorbike engine... the happiness he feels at being close to me soothes me :)

    the sound of someone calling my name always causes me an emotional distress, the sound of the pouring rain always calms me down.
