After the last week and a half that we've all had here in south Louisiana, we sure could use a little relaxation in our lives. Listening to 97.3 The Dawg may just be your answer.

A study just proved that the second-most comforting sound in the world is listening to the radio. You are welcome!

The study found the eight most comforting sounds in the world. (Yes, the whole globe was searched high, low and in between.)

Now remember, "comforting" doesn't necessarily mean "calming". Some of these sounds could make you feel nostalgic or remind you of feeling happy at home.

Here is the complete list:

  1. Birds tweeting
  2. The radio
  3. The TV
  4. Rain on the window
  5. Silence
  6. The shower running
  7. Trains
  8. Someone humming
