"no sound" doesn't work for me, in the absence of sound all I hear is myself, and my thoughts. Meditation apps actually work really well in helping me quiet my thoughts and fall asleep. Funny enough, economic or history lectures work really well too. I love those topics, but it clears the thoughts in my head I just see a story playing out in my head as I fall asleep.

One of the major issues is I have relatively high anxiety, and i'll just be stuck in a stress loop keeping me awake.
