I always thought wind chines were intended for relaxation.

I find laughing very relaxing as well as the sound of horses neighing.

Funny thing is, I find the things NTs think are relaxing actually make me feel worse. I spent like 15 years trying to use NT relaxation methods and I failed.

For some reason, NTs seem almost offended that I find different things relaxing than they do.

I don't see a weird thing here. A couple of unique things, but not weird.

Mine are all cliche and have been mentioned.

I like there to be pressure or my wrists or someone hold my wrists. Lots of ppl say they don't like that.
I like the sound of airplanes.

I used to find rewinding and fast-forwarding a tv program quite relaxing, although this was when I was little. There could be the washing machine, tumble dryer and outside noises at night as contenders, but that's pretty much it.
