Hoover here too, and rain on windows. But I sleep like a log anyway, drop off straight away and don't wake up until the alarm is blaring. But the sound of a hoover is just such a great feeling - strange hey!
I am really confused as to why the hoover would make us feel relaxed enough to nod off? I mean, anytime day or night i could quite easily fall asleep to the sound of this. How very strange.boobles said:

I put it down to when I was in the womb, don't laugh 
, and my mother used to vacuum and do the washing and so on, which I picked up on as I was snugly curled up resting. ps. I love laying in bed early in the morning when the road sweeper drives past outside, sounds like a giant vacuum - heaven.

I was born in an army camp & also love the song "this is my rifle this is my gun"
I have never really come to a conclusion as to why these sounds make me feel totally relaxed, i suppose your theory could explain.

How very strange.I try to remember and add up what money I have in my head. By the time I have added £43,28 and £127.87, worked out how much I still owe on the car and how much I have paid off, and how much the other car might be worth given this months depreciation,................................................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
V8 mate and HRG have enlivened beyond measure a seemingly (imo) tedious and irredeemable posting.
I'm sure Mrs 666 will be able to get the coffee out of my shirt.
If not, it was worth it.
Edited to add; Now if only Captain Zep and Dirty boy were about...

I think it is because it is a sound from our childhoods - we felt safe then, nothing to worry about and someone to look over us. Does anyone know how to train a Cavalier King Charles to hoover?
Roomba is your friend here.
I see a problem - Cavs and Roomba interface
"The Roomba is not designed for deep-pile carpet. It is low enough to go under a bed or other furniture. If at any time the unit senses that it has become stuck (on rug tassels, for example), it no longer senses the floor beneath it (it has been picked up), or it decides that it has worked its way into a narrow area from which it is unable to escape, it stops and sounds a mournful tone to help its owner find it."
They would be making more than a mournful tone as it inhaled their tails
