As a kid I rarely listened to anything, these days I put on Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio show, just go bacl to the start I've heard up to the third phase often but not the further ones as much. In the more recent past it may have been a Harry Potter (UK) book or again Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy voiced by Stephen Fry. Guess that's a lot of UK stuff considering I'm Canadian, but Fry has such a nice voice to drift off to.

As a kid? My drunk dad fucking shit up downstairs. Falling down the stairs. Throwing plates at the tv.
As an adult? "Hey it's Josh from Lets Game it out! Today we're checking out Satisfactory! So NEW GAME!"

A cassette on one of those small kid stereos, later it was my mom reading me stuff. I don't know if I could listen to music falling asleep but nowadays I have YT videos on and lots of white noise to drown out the crackhead neighbours upstairs.
Usually just a fan, but a few nights ago I left The Twilight Zone on in the background and it was very cozy to sleep to.
When I was a kid, I fell asleep to a fan (and still do).
When I became a teen though, it was the time of the very early beginnings of ASMR, and man it was the shit back then. I'm not sure why or how but I was extremely sensitive to it.
Sadly overtime that sensitivity went away, and although it is relaxing to listen to, I don't get the same "effect" from it.
P.S no it didn't make me horny.
As a kid I usually listened to CDs from the series "Was ist Was". Originally it's a science book series for about 10-15 year old with topics like weather, the sun, mathematics, pirates or vulcanos. The series usually goes pretty in depth for a series more or less aimed at kids.
Apparently it's a translation from the series "How and Why Wonder Books".
For anyone interested: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Was_ist_was
Anyway, I enjoyed listening to the audio versions of the books (they were moderated by characters).
Later on I just listened to general music.
Nowadays I do not listen to anything. Sometimes to self recorded sea noises from vacation.
I uploaded them as well :)
