Listening to music together is a popular past time for many long distance couples. Long evenings have been spent together playing “radio DJ” while exploring one another’s musical tastes. Often times music is coupled with ambient background noises, such as rain or chirping birds. These ambient noises add a little extra something special to a long distance musical chill session.

What an excellent collection of calming music and relaxing websites. Thank you sooooo much for putting this list together. Calm.com is one of my favorites, but you can’t go wrong with the bacon Mike has suggested above.
I love it! *–*
Thanks Persephone! We’re glad this list is useful to you!
Why don’t you add the site http://huescapes.audio/ ?
Many ambient sounds with radio. Very relaxing.
I love these kind of sites, so I built a nice ambient noise generator with a pomodoro timer built in, and a task list. It’s called Sexy Time: http://www.sexytimeproductivity.com I hope you guys like it 🙂
Another great website I discovered recently: http://www.moszen.com
Thanks Bowen, we checked it out and that’s a really awesome website to add to our list!
Being a keen lover of nature sounds, I enjoy hearing sounds of birds, waterfall, rain and rushing air…I am also learning about ways to heal through sounds of nature. Loved the list given here..
especially the site: Moszen … wonderful collection of sounds in nature with a visual impact as well.. I felt I was there in the jungle..loved it.
one thing I need to ask, is any of the sounds available to be played throughout night? I mean for as long as we need to without stopping? or any sound machine the offers all of these sounds?
thanks everyone!
I listen to RainyMood all night … stream it on my Tablet – shut off the screen and (when the battery lasts all night) it’s still playing when I wake up in the morning.
Absolutely agree. Rain sounds falling on the windowsill at night. Love it. Why? Because: https://www.globalsoundtracks.com/
Let’s say you’re supposed to be hard at work in your office cubical, the walls are just a little too high for your boss to be able to see you, and you just want to slack off. That’s what Coding.fm is for.
One more: http://rain.unispace.pro/
Nice list, sharing my current favorite: http://www.noiseclear.com
https://ambientnoise.de is also great!
Here is another one that you should include in your list: https://www.naturesounds.tv/

Talking about ambient noises. I would recommend a more beautiful site “blissful noises” at https://blissfulnoises.com/ . I am a big fan of ambient noises and i always listen them while studying.
