low marimba
with bass boost/treble reduction is even better
The sound of water flowing through rapids.
My grandma¹s house is built right next to a small river, this was the sound that put me to sleep every night.
Moderate rain and distant thunder.
Rain outside my window in the garden. Maybe not the MOST, but it’s up there.
Partner’s giggle
White noise of a fan. I always have one on when sleeping so hearing that sound reminds me of a cozy nap.
Train whistle and the sound of the train rumbling by in the distance is deeply relaxing, doubly so if after nightfall or if I’m drifting off to sleep.
Locally, indoors? Silence.
I like to be able to hear whatever is going on outside. Ideally, that would also be silence, but if something is going on outside, I like to be alert and aware of it.
I’ll also take a little rain and occasional thunder outside, as usually people aren’t acting a fool outside during rainy weather.
my favorite asmr triggers are tapping, scratching, wood, and slime
Rain and thunder outside while inside in the evening.
Also, due to occupational damage, the sound of an offshore seismic source going off in the distance ever 10-12 seconds. The sound and the low frequency shake of the ship means everything is working as it should.
I don’t know about most, but generally those “background sound” sort of ambient things are pretty relaxing.
goes looking on YouTube for some examples

I think that the shakuhachi, a Japanese bamboo flute, is relaxing to listen to.

I can’t decide, there are too many:
Mongolian throat singing with little to no instruments.
The sound of a plane cabin (I think its brown or pink noise)
The fire crackling of a fire place or furnace.
Ocean waves or waterfall or river noise.
Slowly and softly played piano.
A stew slowly cooking.
Sound of gentle brushing your head hair.
Light rain on leaves
A babbling brook.
