To music, or a guiding voice. I live in a very noisy city so it’s music helps drown out the unpleasant stressing sounds of the outside world.
I used to like ambient music or silence. But now I try to be practice meditation with daily sounds around me so that I can meditated anywhere and not have sounds get in my way.
Personally, i like to have ambient music. I have 4 teenagers and find it helps me block out the noises they are making in the rest of the house when i have soothing noises to focus on if i need it.
I usually use the calm app which offers a nice balance of guided meditation and silence for a deep concentration. There are also soothing audio tracks that can be played under the voice and silence.
At the moment I prefer guided meditations with Calm app, sometimes I use Tibetan, Indian or Chinese music for meditations

I meditate with an app. It’s very down to earth, and helps me with awareness in various areas. It also stresses the lighthearted, curious aspect of meditation, and makes it accessible.
I like guided meditations it helps me to keep focus for a longer time and generally includes some oriented excercises or visualizations toward a certain benefit or mindfulness skill.
Both! I often meditate in silence which has it’s own quality but one of the apps I use (Calm) has a variety of background musics - I personally like water sounds.
