YouTube Premium is great for this sort of thing. There are thousands of ambient noise and focus music playlists on there. No ads + music for a reasonable price.

I've been a Google/YouTube Music subscriber for years. Every once in a while I think about switching to Spotify or Apple Music since most of my friends are on there, but for my usage, there is no feature parity.
- Zardoz84 4y agoYT premium can't be compared against this. mainly, because the presets are animatable. So you can generate a not repeating noise.
- audiosampling 4y agoExactly. Plus, creating your own "audible" comfort zone, is very tricky. A given sound that some people like, e.g. frogs in a nature soundscape, can be the sound other dislike, or are even afraid of. Offering level control over every audible elements in a soundscape is very important, and not available on YouTube.
- shipman05 4y agoIt no doubt lacks the customization, but the overwhelming variety of options makes it likely that most people will find something to their liking. YMMV, of course. Personally I've used everything from Japanese-themed Lo-Fi to Skyrim soundtracks to nature sound to Starship Enterprise warp core background noise.
- green-salt 4y agoDo you stream your "background" audio every single time or do you save it locally?
- shipman05 4y agoI typically stream it and have a curated playlist that cycle through.
- bgro 4y agoReasonable price? Is paying more than a Netflix subscription reasonable to have no ads on content with no expanded content library?
- shipman05 4y agoOn its own, no, but for a full featured music service with ad-free YT as an extra perk it seems reasonably priced. Same price as Spotify which doesn't have the YT perk.
