I love to hear the wind rattle the window panes. In my house I can't hear it but in older homes it is a reminder of being snug and warm at home or my granny's. I'm 66 but it still makes me feel comfortable. Growing up we didn't have central air and when it was really cold there would be tons of quilts on the bed and it was hard to turn over. I have my bedroom cold with a window unit, even in winter, because it makes me feel safe and warm.
