  i live in a small town at the edge of a small forest with a higway running
through it.
 and early mornings, especially on week-ends, you can hear the sound of car
tires
  with ocasional some beats mixed in (young people comming back from their
week-end fun)
 i've always considered this to be the best ambient, verry hypnotic and
supper relaxing.
 and it gets even better in summer when daylight is tartng early and the
bird (& bee's) join in.
 ofcourse whenever i mention this to friends they think i'm nuts.
 its so strange you can anly hear the tires on the asphalt and not the car's
engines.
 already since a kid it has become one of my favoriete sounds.

 i guess now this subject ain't to OT anymore  :-)
