StaceyPowers Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 I was hunting for videos on YouTube yesterday with Bioshock ambient sounds layered together so I can loop them when I work/sleep. Anyone else look for this sort of thing, and have any favorite videos to share?
skyfire Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 I remember playing some of such games on android that had such sounds. For example spirit game has such sounds. Not sure if people like puzzle game such as this but it had some nice sounds.
The Blackangel Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 If I needed some ambient noise when I was younger, I would just play some metal. Typically Disturbed's first album. Now I just turn on the TV. I've don't that for so long that now I can't get to sleep without some kind of background noise.

I live out in the country, and it can get to be dead silent at night. So the ringing in my ears can drive me crazy without some kind of sounds playing.
skyfire Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Metal music is not ambient. Ambient means pleasing sound to ears. Metal falls into noise. I'd say that games such as spirits, limbo ccan be good for the ears. Also having some white noise generator can be a good option while playing the games.
The Blackangel Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Actually it is ambient to a huge number. By your definition, because it is pleasing to the ears. You may not like it, which is perfectly fine. It's your right to make your own choices. But don't push your opinions onto others.
StaceyPowers Posted March 31, 2019 Author Posted March 31, 2019 @skyfire @The Blackangel I feel kind of the same way about industrial and noise music (especially the more old-school variety, i.e. Boyd Rice, Skinny Puppy, Coil, etc.) as @The Blackangel does about metal. My third year college roommate and I would sometimes leave our favorite albums on loop all day, especially the more "abstract" sounding ones, and use them in place of ambient noise. They produced what I can only call a sense of "comfortable unease" for us. Some of the background sounds in video games, especially like Bioshock Infinite for example, or The Pitt in Fallout 3, put me in sort of a related headspace, and I love it.
palemidnight25 Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 I like GTA V and TBOGT ambient background noise. As for music, I like early eras of Mortiis but the album ''The Stargate'' is a personal favorite. StaceyPowers 1
TheSteelyardDweller Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 it even sounds pretty good if you loop it. i love that someone made this. imo no better ambiance in any other video game. the sounds, the light, the visuals, it's just amazing.
