Creator Kit

Making sleep, study, or relaxation videos? Build a custom ambient mix, export it as a compatible loop, and prepare it for your editing workflow. Check the publishing rights for every recording in a mix before distributing the result.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Build your mix

    Combine any of the 100+ sounds on the mixer — rain over brown noise, a thunderstorm, a coffee shop — and tune each volume until it sounds right.

  2. 2

    Export a compatible loop

    Open Export in the toolbar and choose "Seamless loop (MP3)". The dialog identifies sounds that require live recording instead of offline loop rendering.

  3. 3

    Extend it to any length

    Loop the file in your video editor, or let ffmpeg do it in one command (below) to produce a 1-hour or 10-hour track for YouTube.

Make a 10-Hour Video with ffmpeg

Pair your downloaded loop with a still image and let ffmpeg repeat it for as long as you need — this example produces a 10-hour video ready for YouTube:

ffmpeg -stream_loop -1 -i ambient-loop-10min.mp3 -loop 1 -i cover.png \
  -t 36000 -c:v libx264 -tune stillimage -pix_fmt yuv420p \
  -c:a aac -b:a 160k -shortest sleep-video-10h.mp4

Change -t 36000 (seconds) for other lengths: 3600 = 1 hour, 28800 = 8 hours.

Rights and Attribution

The catalog combines software-generated sound with third-party recordings. The project does not currently publish a per-track rights manifest that supports a blanket promise for commercial use. Exporting a mix does not transfer or expand rights in any included recording.

Before publishing or monetizing: verify the source and current license for each sample-backed recording, and check the rules of the platform where you will publish. Attribution to AmbientNoise.io is appreciated, but it does not replace that rights review. The Share button gives you a link that recreates the blend for listeners.

Good to Know

  • Loop exports cover sample-backed sounds and generated noise colors. Other synthesized textures require live recording; the Export dialog identifies them.
  • Loops are rendered at 128 kbps stereo MP3, which holds up well for ambience under video compression.
  • Want viewers to interact instead? Embed the live player on your site with one iframe snippet.
