Yesterday I was driving around town and I got bored with the presets on my radio so I did some station surfing. I ended up stopping on some static that had just the slightest hint of a signal in it. It basically sounded like rhythmic static, if that makes sense. I actually listened to it for a bit and then found it pretty soothing. So there I was, cruising around town, listening to my rhythmic static.
Has anyone else ever done this? If not, I highly encourage it. I found it entertaining as you can make your own music out of it.

Or you could just like, I don't know, sing to yourself at the top of your lungs xD
Ellie listened to radio static in Contact, and look where that got her.

its called white noise you can buy white noise cds and generators for relaxation
Yes, I have. But only because that's all you can get where I live, desperately hoping for a signal to be picked up if you're lucky.
Unless you're willing to listen to country.

White noise is pretty relaxing. It helps me sleep.
I don't think it would be a good idea to listen to it when driving though, I'd fall asleep at the wheel! :D

Karlheinz Stockhausen wrote an entire piece of music that involves tuning a shortwave radio to various bits of static and then performing on your instrument in response to the sounds you hear.
Also, Sonic Youth ftw.
