An entrancing new website quizzes users on how different noises make them feel.
I'm six or seven, sitting cross-legged on my parents' bed and watching a spring thunderstorm roll through our town. Or listening, really, safe in that room, as my dad teaches me to count the seconds between the thunder and lightning and calculate the bolt's distance from our house. I've found thunder relaxing ever since, and during finals season I used to write papers to hour-long YouTube recordings of storms.
