The idea of positive or negative sounds in our environment always fascinates me. I can hear the same sounds from one day to the next and either be frustrated or calmed depending on my mood and so many environmental factors. It largely boils down to how I classify that sound and whether I see it as imposed or elective. This is discussed further in the article Subliminal Sounds: How to Transmit Them. Basically, if I have any sounds imposed on me - such as that kid practicing his drum kit until all hours - it's not going to do me a any good. If it's me choosing to play the drums, well that's a different matter.
On the other hand, if I want to calm my mind, boost my immune system and generally increase my feeling of wellness and goodwill to all men, I take out my MD recorder and record the birds singing in the evening or the babbling brook. Then just having this tinkling in the background is enough to induce a feeling of immense calm...
