I dunno. The ambient urban drone noise including a highway doesn’t put me to sleep.

I don’t know, I’d have a hard time sleeping. The warp core is clearly out of alignment.

The Clementine music player has a mode for this very thing. I don’t know if they did it for the same reason, but it was super annoying when it got enabled and I had to hunt for what was making my music sound terrible.

That’s close to what I hear when I cover my ears with my hands… and when I don’t want to be exposed to crappy, Star Wars dialogue.

Hasn’t this been posted previously? Lovely though. I’d like to go to that acoustic sweet-spot in the jefferies tubes and take a nap.

We paired this on low with someone’s starfield video approaching the galactic core on our flat screen TV for ambient during one of our Star Trek RPGs. Next is the blue LED strips around the outside of the TV screen, as threatened by DH.

I get all my white noise from Stargate franchises.

Unfortunately this is not a ‘recording’ but just a loop over and over. And I can still hear the tiny gap (every 16.5 seconds roughly), which makes it useless as ambient sleep white noise (the 1080 version has the same) …

Found this instead which does not have the Star Trek brand, but works wonders on my sleep
