I don't know why, but the backrooms sound, e.g. the generic transformer hum, is so soothing to me. Call me crazy, but oh how I want my room, and maybe my entire apartment, to resemble a 2000's office. Think cs_office map, but for real!

I know it's probably because of my childhood, but I constantly feel like I'm being watched. Not just watched, but at any time a vague authority figure will rush into my room and make me do things because I'm long overdue on everything for some reason.

This notion somehow completely falls apart when I'm inside some office, the closer to 2000's in aesthetics, the better. I don't feel comfortable in luxurious interiors, or in Hygge-inducing Scandinavian interiors, or at "home" (I have no feeling of home). But 2000's office is my anxiety's kryptonite.

My dream is to have a cubicle at home. And that the door to my room should have that thing that automatically closes it. And the lock made by Abloy. Old office-style carpeted floor. Vertical metal shades. And let this paradise drown in soothing 60 cycle hum.

    My laptop's 200w charger emits just this very noise, but it's really quiet. When I need to calm down, I take the charging brick as if it was a phone and push it against my ear. Instant soothing hum station

    white noise generator? think those have therapeutic effects for some conditions or something

    also strangely I kept around that "fear" of my parent rushing in at any moment. took me a while to get rid of it. not that I was doing anything "wrong" but my mom was always trying to monitor me and I, rebelliously, just simply didn't want her to know jack shit about me because of her insistence by itself

    Are we talking 50hz or 60hz flavour?
