I have to say I may have slightly misunderstood the original post - my choices yesterday were pieces of music that I might associate with certain places but I wouldn't dream of listening to music whilst out walking. I don't own an ipod and wouldn't know what to do with it if I did.
A few people talked about the sounds of nature - birdsong/calls, falling water, the wind in the grass, etc - I have to add this is part of the pull towards ancient sites; that they are usually off the beaten track and often unpeopled.
The first time I saw the Polisher Stone on Fyfield Down last summer I sat quietly with the friend who had led me there and we could hear gorse pods popping - its an overused word I know, but it was just a bit magic.
