    Hi, Anyone Have interesting stuff ya'll listen to while you work/draw/craft etc? I dunno I think it's just an entertaining thing to know

    Like recently the things I've been listening to while drawing are episodes of Kitchen Nightmares, and those Nerd Videos talking about games, and letsplays sometimes. Oh and a neat one are these Horror Story readings from Chilling Tales for Dark Nights. The voices there are mostly soothing and It's easy to not really focus on the narrative.

    I love MyNoise. Some of their generators are musical...ish, most aren't. They have white noise, they have nature sounds, they have spoopy ambient noises, they have industrial/cafe/transport background noise, you name it.

    Lambda everything happens so much

    Rainymood was a good one, but these days it makes my computer overheat like crazy. but generally rain/wave sounds are pretty nice, I should start doing that again. and there was one noise generator that had wind chimes too, that was the best

    most podcasts don't work because I get too focused on the words, so I can't write and listen at the same time. never tried audio books but they'd probably be the same way, and most lps I want to watch as well as listening

    ASMR's pretty good, but almost never the ones with talking.

    sitcoms that i know by heart are good non music background noise for me because i know them well enough i dont need to pay attention

    cooking shows too because they tend to be very formulaic and predictable so even if i havent watched a particular episode before i still know what's going to happen and i dont need to focus on it

    Episodes of Podcasts I've already heard or audiobooks I've already heard work for me. So older episodes of Welcome to Night Vale and the audiobook are amazing, especially since Cecil's voice is just so entrancing

    if i'm really out of ideas, and need to calm down/stop procrastinating, hilariously my go-to is Markiplier's entire FNAF playlist. i've listened to it enough that my brain more or less knows how it goes, and the jumpscare noise doesn't scare me anymore.

    If you like Chilling Tales, have you tried;

    -Uncanny County

    I also like creepypasta readings, and SCP readings if I can find any good ones. A lot of the ones out there aren't great.

    I like playing the MyNoise aircraft cabin sounds with live air traffic control feeds from liveATC. The voices of calm routine are so soothing.
