It got so bad I finally went to a ENT doctor. After extensive testing I was diagnosed with Meniere's disease with the long term prognosis of total deafness in my left ear and no more tinnitus at that time. So as I wait for the total shutoff of my ear,I tried many different sounds during the night as the sound would drive me insane if it was totally quiet in the room, even with the machine sounds. What I ended up with are podcasts or You Tube lectures on whatever subjects, playing on my phone as it charges next to my bed. They have podcasts designed for falling asleep as they are smooth talking nonsensical narration so you really are bored. But I found it really doesn't matter to me what I listen to as I usually fall asleep within 30min anyways, so I may as well listen to something interesting. I just need the distraction. Hope this helps someone looking for options and it's free to try.

My wife likes late-night AM Coast to Coast radio with George Noory but podcasts are great too and you can control content better. Obviously, for most people the more boring the better.

As long as you're using sounds, check out these ideas to help promote sleep.
I've used Steven Halpern's music, consisting of binaural beats and drone components, to help me sleep. You can get free Audacity audio editing software and easily mix whatever custom sounds you like, for whatever length you like. Audacity allows you to easily 'cut and paste' to make MP3 tracks to any time duration. You can use any playback device you like with MP3 sounds. Here's some I like:

Here's some other sounds that some people like:

Sometimes I get tired of the binaural beats etc and just play MP3s of some bird songs, babbling brooks, wind in the trees... all available free on Youtube and elsewhere. I use a Naxos CD player that supports a large SD card which holds all my edited music/sounds. As a bonus, all this stuff helps mask traffic noise, barking dogs, radios playing etc.
