Question: What is an ambience video?
Answer: Pleasant, soothing background images & sound for relaxation, study, play, or work; gently occupies an anxious or unfocused mind without causing unwanted distraction; creates a comfortable, inviting atmosphere; personalizes sparse, colorless, or impersonal environments; enlivens spaces where we live or work alone; fills silence with more subtlety, ease, and warmth than music or TV; offers softly dynamic "rainbow noise" instead of monotonous white noise; enhances interior design & personal style by turning screens/screensavers into live photographic displays.

when I finish my degree, i'll to return here to thank you because without this video I wouldn't have been able to survive these months of online university.
What a kind thought; thank you. Surely, though, your degree will be due to your own hard work and perseverance -- hang in there!
Same!
Same too!
evadne Hey Let us know how you are doing! I love these ASMS ambient worlds and sounds, helps me sleep and drown out sounds of big trucks passing by. This particular one is probably my favorite of all the library ones I've seen on YT any book lover could LIVE in this one easily) HOW LONG till you finish your DEGREE?
same
Hey stranger. I hope you're doing well.
I know no one probably cares, but I just wanted to say something. Yesterday, I had a really rough day. I had no motivation. I was at my lowest but I had to study for my exams. And I'm here to proudly announce that all my exams went well. I'm saying that because it's been a while since I haven't had great grades. Going from a straight A's student to a mediocre is hard mentally. Really hard. Since the beginning of this year, I knew I wasn't going to make it (academically). I had no motivation until now. Today, I feel so much at peace, not only about school but I feel like life is getting better and better every day. The weather's changing, the birds are singing and I have one more reason to wake up every morning, the flowers in the backyard, the fresh juice in my glass, or even my friends. I don't what I'll do without all these things right now. But what I know by far, is that life is beautiful. U just have to make it beautiful. Create your own world in the world we live in. It's possible. Trust me.
Thank you for reading, I really do hope for all of you to enjoy every little moment of your life. everything is precious. Goodbye.
Thank you for sharing! I caught a glimpse into the life of another treasured soul. Keep seeking truth, goodness, and beauty.
My friend, I am a graduate ... long time ago ... and it took me a few years. Then grad school. Then I became an instructor. I tell you: All that you posted is Spot On. Amor fati!
:)
So blessed I read this
Thank you for this beutiful share! Take good care of yourself you all
I pray that whoever reads this feels loved, safe, and secure. I pray for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing for ALL.💓💓🙏🙏 Peaceful dreams!
To you as well!❤️
I needed that
Using this to block the voices in my head
Thx a million, Amazing tales.
Likewise!!!💐💐💐
♥️
Writing becomes much easier when transported to an environment like this. Thank you!
I have much sympathy and fellow-feeling for writers, so I'm very pleased to hear this! Thank you for your kind comment.
Yes! I'm not the only one who thinks so! 🤗
Really??! Ask your editor for making sure sound reflects or enhances your words ...
If you talk about how you're a writer on RUclips comments then you're probably not a good writer lol
You can very easily make this environment yourself, save the fire
fun fact - the picture is vita sackville west's writing room at sissinghurst that someone has photoshopped. i've been here many times :) saved this for rainy day backgrounds! thanks!
gees that really is fun. im truely jealous
thank you for sharing this info.
omg no way that's exactly who i was pretending i was
that just... makes it even better. thank you
The first time me and my man visited Sissinghurst and Vita's writing room, I managed to sneak a few pics of it with my phone when no one was around even though you're not allowed to and the room was gated off. I just couldn't resist because it Vita's writing room!!
This youtuber is a true artist 🎨. Helps me get over my ptsd
pretty accurate but you forgot to add the sound of a very upset german man yelling across the street
Bob Saggot, lol 😂😂😂
I'm currently writing my dissertation about 1930s British literature and it's great to imagine all those famous writers spending their time in a place like this! This video does really transport me back to that decade
How wonderful! Are there any writers in particular on whom you intend to focus, or any particular writers who are your favorites? This space actually belonged to Vita Sackville-West (though I have taken some creative liberties with her beloved library).
This is the writing room of the British novelist & poet, Vita Sackville-West. The portrait next to the table is of her lover, Violet Keppel (Trefusis). Thank you for sharing this ambient, evocative video! I use it for writing poetry and stories. I'm sure Vita would approve!
Thank You for the background info. Is this a photograph of the exact room or a photo of her room with extra bits added in later in a program like photoshop?
@@Lilmisscostumedrama there was definitely some photoshop involved, but all the main parts (such as the portrait of Vita’s lover, Violet Keppel/Trefusis) are the same 🥰
I'm a writer, and this is fantastic! Thank you for the inspiration.
I WANT MY PUBLIC LIBRARY BACK!!!
💔💔💔💔💔📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚
I want any library open .-.
I mean.. the uni lib.
Our library here in No Florida has now opened, no appts. masks preferred. YAYYY!!!!! 😀😀😀
😩
Yes!! Aint it funny that libraries are closed and like no-one disputes that? While the row is about pubs, clubs and gyms! What a sickly world we live in!!
@@poodlesrock6552 I made a similar remark at another site, and some "brain surgeon" said, Why?
Don't you have internet? 🤪
i didn't really like (still dont) ambience videos because I just remind they're the same sound throughout but this one. this is a gem, it's so...vibrant? if you can call noises and sounds that. there's much life and action to it, and not some...lulling you to sleep type. this is the type that literally transports you to the place itself by the mere sounds and makes you imagine that physically sitting there in the library, experiencing the aesthetics itself. wonderful job, i absolutely love your channel!!
this is definitely my favourite ambience video. not only do i feel relaxed but also super classy and cultured, haha.
You're free to imagine that this is your own aristocratic library any time you wish. :) Your comment made me smile; thank you!
Back here again. Keep forgetting that this isn’t a photopraph of a room. The level of realism is incredible. 🙌🥰
Such a warm and cozy feeling. I'd love to look at some of those books, smell the pages and sit by the fire and read one...
If you think about it, while listening to this we feel transported into this room. And since this has thousands of views, we have shared it with many many people. I think there is something romantic about that
that's a really beautiful thought and it made me feel nice and a little less alone. thank you for commenting that!!
@@michaela_nk I'm so happy it made you feel better! if you feel lonely again remember that I'll be in this room whenever you need me 🌼
Cette ancienne bibliothèque est dotée d'un cachet fou ! J'adore votre arrangement : nombreux livres, grand manuscrits et autres portfolio..., la peinture au-dessus de la voûte arquée est magnifique ! Une authentique oeuvre d'art ! L'architecture d'antan est divine également ! Le son des pages que l'on tourne, le feu qui crépite, les oiseaux qui chantent : tout est maîtrisé avec grâce et mis en images avec talent ! Compliments : )))
I was inspired by another comment to write this. I too have listened hours on end to this video while studying. It is now the night before my last exam ever, and in a few days I will graduate - finally, after 6 years of struggling through university. So I will come back when I have my diploma and properly thank you, but for now, I'll let my imagination take over one last time, and picture myself in this beautiful, idyllic place, with my nose in a leatherbound book, studying the night away...
Imagine all the novels being written to the sounds of this video
I'm writing one right now :D
@@TamaraTegethoff me too😁
more like fanfiction lol
As a writer, this is the perfect background ambiance... Thank you so much! 😊
The academia vibes I needed for studying from home
I think I've replayed this video a hundred times since last year
Oh how I did I stumble upon this! Transports me to an era of time where good literature and ambience was naturally part of the human spirit and imagination! I would like a video in an old Catholic Cathedral. Candles lit for special intentions, rosary beads in hands, quiet mouthing of prayer, flipping pages in hymn book, collection plate for coins, kneelers squeak as pulled down, wooden pews, bells, Your work and imagination are so appreciated and holds a cozy spot on RUclips.
one day soon there will be the quiet rooms and people will pay to live without noise for a few hours...no phones.....the silence
Excellent!

I'm sure you will reconsider your wish the next time you have a toothache.
@@cattyelse2372 "without noise...the silent rooms.." There is a non-fiction book, "Alone"written in the 1930s by Admiral Richard Byrd, who wrote about his 6 months in Antarctica in our summer months, there complete blackness. He was manning a science and weather station and was one of the few on the entire continent at that time, certainly as deep in Antarctica as he was. He wrote that in the hectic modern world ( this was early 1930s) he was a space to be by himself, to think, to read books he never had time to read, to listen to good music he never seemed to have time for, JUST FOR THE EXPERIENCE ITSELF. All well and good, except he was stranded until the Antarctic winter was over, in a very, very small "cabin" in the coldest temperatures on the planet, when he discovered his stove, the main source of his heat, was giving off carbon monoxide fumes, without his being able to fix it. And the fumes were driving him slowly insane...
I clicked on this video because I very much appreciate how the way the room is designed to look like an actual person's room. Tons of interior design mistakes, makes it cozier - an imperfect, "real" place.
I love to put these beautiful ambience videos on while I nurse my little one. We enjoy this one very much!
Loving this library environment with its architecture and warm touches... I could easily live and be a good fit with the art, the books all so inviting with collections I love. Ahh the comfort we would know. This is one of my favorite places to visit. It's a place to think or just perchance to dream.
This one of favourite my go-to videos. I love the gentle visuals and relaxing sounds. I just observed how the lovely blue of the glassware has been duplicated in the scene through the blue of the bookbinders on the opposite shelves, on the table with the pot plant, and in the picture above the doorway. The less obvious details make this scene very special. Thank you for allowing us to soak in your beautiful art.
better than the ones with millions of views!
My apologies for my late response -- and thank you for your kind comment! To be honest, I'm surprised that this video has as many views as it does, far more than I ever expected. I'm so happy that you enjoyed it and took a moment to let me know. Thanks again!
The other ones seem to all feel more like night time. Whereas the birdsong makes this feel like a bright day outside. Makes me feel more awake for studying.
This will have a million views sooner or later.
Listening to this while studying really makes me feel secured, comfortable and companied by an imaginary friend. Which is lovely
I think I could feel this person, a calm, literate and completely focus on what his/her work one. I'd get on well with this one
Exactly my feelings 😊
omg yes
you're very own ghost friend.
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment. I love the idea that this video has given you a study-companion. :) I agree with you completely: the imaginary friend who accompanies us here is calm, literate, and focused. This friend and I both wish you well in your studies.
This comment brought tears to my eyes. We are all missing so much during this time. Thank you for giving me this idea, which made me feel suddenly as if I were not alone at my desk. Thank you also to Ambience of Yesteryear. You are doing something very important for so many of us at a very difficult time.
I would sleep that room, so cozy and warm
I have just recently found this channel, and this is my favorite place to work on online school work.
Just left the library with some mystery novels 💙. I needed something to help relax me when driving thru the Traffic in Tampa FL and this is doing the trick on my 20 min commute to home. Thank You 💙💙💙
I could "stay" here all day!!! :) The perfect ambiance to inspire my writing today...
As a fanfiction writer I couldn't agree more with you because ASMR/Ambience videos like those help me focus and write.

You're more than welcome to stay as long as you wish. :)
Me too. My kinda place.
GREAT I was just designing the half of the room we are standing in and looking at the rest of it and thinking OH how I wish I lived here, I see a daybed, a door to a wooden hottub and herb garden I can rest my eyes on while typing at my desk, near door to the right. NO FIRE that is not in the fireplace okay!? And a kitty cat or two of COURSE must be looking towards the garden which attracts so many interesting things. Get to writing, writers! :D
Good morning folks! This is the only ambient sound that gets me focused on writing for the last year. So thank you! Oh now I get distracted..
Oh, I absolutely adore the concept of an antechamber like that to store books, this video's seriously good...
Listening to this during work, waiting for spring to happen in the real outside. The bird sounds in this ambience almost bring tears to my eyes, so hopeful and happy. Thank you so much for all your work, your scenes help me sleep at night and focus during the day.
I have listened to this video line 30 times and going now. The occasional scribble from a quill or pencil is awesome. I would love to see like, the citadel from game of thrones where the meisters study and learn. There library is huuuge.
The wild songbirds are really making me miss summer and the warm weather. Can't wait
the only ambience video that can completely help retain my full focus. whenever I need to do heavy studying I return to this one.
I use it daily cuz it's the only one that ACTUALLY keeps me focused. thank you !!
Whoever makes these playlists deserve an award
My housemate is quietly listening to Irish fiddle music in the other room... the snippets I'm catching are blending so nicely with these ambient background sounds. Beautiful work! I came here for the audio but the image is so dynamic too.
Finally a video with no raining sounds!!! Thank you.
Not that I don't like raining sounds but ALL videos of this type always have it and it gets a bit annoying at one point
This is one of my favorite videos thank you!!!
Excellent Sunday morning background audio! Thank you for that.
Wow. This is really awesome. It’s reminds me of Wii fit where you have sit as still as possible for as long as you can while hearing these types of sounds. The footsteps especially!!!
Cleaned the kitchen to this.
Was really soothing
Love the fireplace .. in a library LOL ... with the blue glass decor.
I swear these videos are real life saviors, thank you
What a kind thing to say; thank **you**. It brings me great joy to know when what I have shared here has been useful to someone.
This has become a favorite of mine. All of your work is great.
This video brings up the warmness and lively enviroment while I'm working alone in the square room. Thank you!
I sooo love your ambience videos-we owe and awe You for your gift. 🩷💌💜 What a kindhearted person You are to share them with us, & to make them for us. I JUST WISH WE COULD ELIMINATE THE PAIN YOU ARE LIVING WITH, THAT YOU ARE MENTIONING IN YOUR COMMENT UNDER ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS 🤗🤗🤗
This video has helped me get through writing so many true crime blog posts, thank you so much x
i finally found the perfect ambience for me to seat down and get a 20 chapter fanfic or even longer and wordier fanfic or story to be read. i never have been able to focus on reading stories like this for a really long time. Thank you for creating this lovely ambience : ')
I know my reply is very late, but still I want to thank you for your kind comment. I'm very happy that you've found this video useful; I hope it was your companion for a wonderful story. :)
Your ambience videos are the absolute best. PLEASE make more. ❤❤❤
I'm just seeing this now! What a beautiful place to write a novel..or ten. Thank you for this inspiring place!
Thank you so much for this video, and your wonderful mix of videos! You have given me a home away from home no matter where I go! This video reminds me of my great aunts' house when I was a child. The paintings, fireplace, books, etc. are all very similar to what they had in real life. Thanks again for bringing an escape from stress along with a practical trip back in time!
These have been a genuine gem in helping me to focus while working from home.
Lion Witch and Wardrobe goes perfect with this.
ive tried many ambiance sounds but this magically pulls me in
When I have serious work to do, I put this on. Absolute perfection! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your gift to the world.
Listening to this while I'm in classes makes me feel comfortable and warm, the experience is incredible, thank you for giving us this beautiful environment.
Your lovely, kind comment brought me a smile -- I hope someone or something will do the same for you today in return. It means so much to me to know that this video has offered you comfort and warmth (which is just what I hoped it might do, for those who happen to enjoy it), and I wish you the best of luck in your studies.
thank you sooooo much! it makes me concentrate a lot and I have an important exam this week! greets from brazil :)
Please, continue making these videos, they are unique!
bu video olmadan nasıl ders çalışıyor muşum ben bilmiyorum.. okullar online olduğundan beri ders çalışmak için dönüp dolaşıp geldiğim tek ambiyans. harika gerçekten
absolutely love this one. love the shuffling around and page-flipping ^_^ and the bird is heavenly
Thank you for this, I'm so grateful to you and others who put videos like this on RUclips. True escapism.
I'm so thankful to have found you
this is my go-to comfort video while i study. i love it so so much and watch it almost every day. thank you!
me too
I have bad anxiety but watching this brings me so much peace . Putting your videos on always helps me sleep , thank you. I hope everyone is safe and well in these crazy , scary times . I hope you find your peace xx
Catherine, thank you for your beautiful, kindhearted comment. It means so much to me that the videos I've shared here have brought you peace. You are held in my thoughts tenderly now, and the good wishes and warmth of my heart wait here to embrace you whenever you want them.
I'm completely stuck in this video. There are 3 days that I return to enjoy this library and this fireplace. It brings me peace and concentration! Thank you ❤️
If this has brought you peace and concentration, I am so glad -- that is just what I hoped it might do. Thank you!
thank you for providing such a cozy and comfortable and nice place on YT.
Lovely background and soundscape. Thank you.
I'm sitting in my own home library, listening to this, as I write.
lucky you :)
This image is so much warmer and lovelier than the Zoom background!
Excellent video! I have quite noisy neighbours and this ambience helps keep me focussed for studying. Thank you 📚🌟
This is so helpful for focusing. I just wanted to thank you for all the work you put into this.
About two years ago my anxiety flared up really, really badly. I've always been a bit of a night owl but I couldn't sit without any sort of sound on anymore because I kept jumping at every little sound I heard. I ended up finding this video and listening to it every night to calm my anxiety. The flare up has ended now but I still listen to this every night to relax before bed. But I belatedly realized I never thanked you. This video helped me through a very hard time and now is just so soothing and relaxing. It feels like coming home. So thank you so much for this video.
Decided to subscribe the moment I saw the thumbnail of this video. This is what I can call a masterful art of ASMR.
I don't think I am "masterful"; I just share the things that I find beautiful and peaceful, in the hope that others might find beauty and peace in them, too. And please let me greet you as a new subscriber; you are very welcome here.
Propre, Satisfaisant, chaleureux, poussiéreux, relaxant, transportant, MERCI :)
This just what I needed. And it looks amazing on my 75” tv. I’m truly transported. Thank you!
My absolute favorite video to study to !!!!!
This is an all time favorite, and since COVID, I've found this is one of a handful I rely on to be able to focus, push things off, and get work done while SAH. I also adore the room that's pictured, from the old texts, to the artwork, the ratty old cushion by the fireplace, and the fabulous collection of cobalt glassware. My only repeated problem, is the slurping. Bugs me enough to jar me out of focused work mode, to rush back to this tab and click forward to get past whichever slurping section is playing.
This video is in my ears CONSTANTLY. Thank you for the quality background noise.
WIll come back here when I get my 100k YT sub plaque 👏
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
why do i love this so much
Was super frustrated doing an assignment and this calmed me way down. I could stare at this for hours! Thank you so much for making it!
PERFICT WORK DONE, WOW , LOVE IT AND CAN SIT AND WATCH, THANKS FOR SHARING, KEEP CONNECTED AND STAY SAFE
I usually combine something like this with an ambient movie soundtrack as I can't work in silence but I love the image and the sounds of the room. Currently listening to a Downton Abbey ambient track alongside this and it's just perfect :) Thank you!
This is lovely for working and staying focused, not as distracting as music can sometimes be but also not too lulling as pure white noise ambience (which is sometimes useful, too). A little bit of typewriter clicking, sparsely and gently strewn in, would fit, too, I think. Thanks for sharing!
No rain sounds? Oh thank you so much!!!
I love the fireplace, the sound of the fire is warming me...amazing
May peace and comfort overwhelm the spirit and soul. Thank you so much!
Decided to read War and Peace for the first time today which is such a long and heavy novel with no end in sight. This is so perfect to read to!
I wish you the best of luck on your ambitious reading endeavor! I hope that perhaps this bright little library lightened the heaviness of the novel, at least a little bit. :) And thank you for your kind words.
Bu videolar olmasaydı nasıl sakin kalıp iş yapardım, nasıl konsantre şekilde ders çalışırdım bilmiyorum. Harikaa ve teşekkürler...
Beautiful work. Subtle and thoughtful composition, with a lovely soundscape. One of our favourites!
So I've watched a bunch of your videos (and loved them) but for intense studying, this always becomes my go-to. There's something about the fire crackling, bird sounds, occasional scribble, etc. that just makes it sooooo good for focusing and staying motivated.
Thank you so much for all the lovely content, appreciate your work. It has helped and is helping me through some tough times. :)
This is lovely. Thank you whoever created it.
Everything is perfect in this ambience! thank you!
Oh god! This channel is like a dream!! It got all those ambiences I desperately searched everywhere and couldn't find.
