I was so desperate to make a "happy place" when I lived in North Hollywood that I had the computer play ocean waves over a network stream 24-7. Then I had the Chumby listen to that network stream, and I had a "go to sleep" timer and a "wake the fuck up" timer such that it would ramp it out and ramp it in over 15 minutes. And the Chumby was plugged into a spare 5.1 receiver with subwoofer set to Prologic IIm such that my ocean waves were in surround sound cresting all around me.

It helped block out the constantly-circling ghettocopter.
