Soothing sounds

So last night was yet another night Shawn was up half the night.  Hubs fed him and put him down about 9:15, and by 11:15  (just as I was thinking about going to bed) he was wide awake again.  He wants to be held, but he screams if we sit down.  I nursed my oldest to sleep every night and every day for naps, so I actually don't mind cuddling and rocking Shawn to sleep, but I'm certainly not going to stand up and carry him (he's probaby 19 pounds!) around all night long.  We took turns with him until almost 3 am, when I was finally able to put him back in his crib.  We learned while we were in FL visiting my parents that the noise from the fountain on the pool calmed him enough so we could at least sit down to rock him.  When we got home we realized we don't have fountains in our pool...oh, wait, we don't even have a pool, and even if we did, its too darn cold to be rocking a baby to sleep on the back porch in the middle of the night....so, we had to search for another noise that was calming to Shawn, so we could sit down to rock him.  The vent fan on the stove hood was the winner!  We turn it on and he's almost instantly calm enough so we can sit down with him!

What noises did you baby find calming?  The blow dryer was the soothing sound that always put Luke to sleep...he would fall asleep in his highchair while I blow dryer my hair, so I'd move him outside the bathroom and close the door enough so he could still hear the dryer, but it wasn't blasting in his ear.
