I Need Ambient Noise At My Workstation
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- So about thirty minutes ago, I was sitting at my desk trying to do some work. And it was quiet. No, it was TOO quiet. I needed some ambient background noise. So I created a thing.

Box. Fan. I can’t live, or sleep, without them.
Yes! And I've got ringing in my right ear so box fan is the greatest
For those that downloaded the script very early after I uploaded this video, I did update the script to correct an error. Before, when you played a file and then opened dmenu again to choose a new file to play, it started the new file but kept playing the old one too. I've corrected that now so when you play a file, it kills mpv if it is already playing to avoid that unwanted effect.
UPDATE: So I ditched the idea of using mpv altogether. No need for it when we can just use ffmpeg.
Does it kill all mpv instances, or only the one that plays the ambient sounds ?
If it does the first one, it could get quite annoying sometimes
It does the first one. I'm not sure why anyone would have something else playing in mpv while listening to ambient noise though. But I might address this in a future update. Not tonight though. I'm about to play some 0 A.D. and then off to bed.
@@DistroTube I often watch streams that lack a bit of music in MPV [ and sometimes ambient sounds as well, but this is rarer ], so I usually also listen to chill music along with the streams, but, I might be the only weirdo doing that, who knows !
I'll fix it myself for now, shouldn't be too hard, I think, and, thanks for the video and the script ! It's something so simple a lot of us didn't even think about it !
I swapped out mpv for ffplay which avoids any conflicts for those watching movies in mpv while wanting to listen to ambient sounds.
@@DistroTube Nice !
Nice, although I was fully expecting to hear the Enterprise in the Terminal ;) play -n -c1 synth whitenoise lowpass -1 120 lowpass -1 120 lowpass -1 120 gain +16
Translating: DT wants to buy a apartment in LA that when he opens up the window, he has the 405 a few feet away.
If anyone prefers music, try Sewerslvt or AFX Twin.
listening to both already, absolutely in love with them!
but if you'd rather listen to something more ambient and that's easier to work with in the background, I highly recommend Boards of Canada, Locust Toybox, or Frums
Problem or necessity: surges
DT: let's dmenuscript that
I love ambient noise & asmr so much i created a whole channel for it :D
Atmospheric and ambient metal here
I really like the ambient music published by cryo chamber.
Same here, rhythmic music is distracting but long slow dark symphonic ambient music keeps me focused.
You should try "Ambient 1: Music for Airports" by Bryan Eno. Great album.
NOO You need Windows OS in every hardware that you got.
First view, apparently.
Edit: Anyway, this is interesting. Maybe people could add more files.
Surely it happens because you are living in a calm place I mind, but in my case (I live near a highway and a railroad track) I don't need any more ambient noise XD
I agree, and I actually miss having a noisier computer because of that. My line between sensory deprivation and sensory overload is extremely thin. The sound that my keyboard makes is pretty loud, but it's nice, so I like it. Only helps when I'm typing, though.
Remember "Office noise" soundtrack become a thing when we all started working at home :D
lolol
Coming soon: ASMR with dmenu
PC fans and HDD seek noise do the trick for me.
You're amazing and I dont understand completely what you did but I used your video as background noise for my own essay writing:p
I know a lot of the point of this is solving the problem with a bash script (nice work, btw!) but I wanted to bring mynoise.net to your attention. There are SO many soundscapes there, perfect loops, different ways of animating them and mixing them. (animating, meaning change the sounds over time. There's no video animation there.) Mynoise.net is my absolute goto when I need ambient stuff to block out the noise around me.
I like the 10 hour star trek ship ambient noise videos on youtube.
Also check out Brian Eno's ambient music for airports.
This is the one!
🖖
And I thought I was the only one
An alternative to this is Blanket
Forget that. Imagine you had your own theme music for every situation you find yourself in. And only you can hear it playing. No one else.
Star Trek TNG Enterprise-D Warp Drive ambient sound.
There is also a program called MoodyRain on Github. Very nice project. GPLv3.
theres an app in f-droid called Noice that makes ambient noise , it has many features
Why in the world somebody that lives in an area that gets t-storms, hurricanes and tornadoes would want an ambient sound of t-storms is beyond my grasp. Now I could see DT having beers being opened in the background as his favorite ambient sound.
It's interesting. I find ambient noise distracting. I don't think I know anyone personally who works without any sound at all, but I find that it's much easier to get into whatever I'm doing. I find that really interesting.
This is so much like me. I play a station on Apple Music (don’t hate me) that is based on the band Recondite. Love it. No vocals. Good beats.
There's a website called Noisli, Derek
Sweet! I needed a thing so I made a thing... There should be a song, "Dmenu to the rescue"... LOL
Once again you have a problem, use Dmenu to fix it... Nice!
Thanks for the video!
LLAP
I wonder if Demnu can install Xmonad?
Nothing is preventing you from piping dmenu into sh -c, so yes 😉
@ HaHaHA... I was poking a Mem @DistroTube cause he always says something at the end of a video... But sure that will work... :-P
Blanket, anoise, noizio.....
CBS..NBC....ABC......
TH-cam, TwitchTv, Spotify...
Not to mention I am sitting on 2TB downloaded movies, tv series..
Think I downloaded HellBoy2 cam, then TeleSync, then TeleCine, then dvdScreener..... Didn't have time to watch any... Watched on TBS 2 weeks ago
somafm is all i need ;)
SomaFM is fantastic.
The good idea is to mix different sounds with various ffplay background commands..I'll try with a new script! Actually there is a program called Blanket that already does it, but the real challenge is to do it with a bash script ;-) I've tried on different terminal windows and it works...
Nice idea! The killall approach may not be the most elegant solution, though, even if most people probably won't have other ffplay processes running. But if they do, it would kill those as well. I'd recommend using a simple .pid file stored in /var/run.
Hey DT if you want to be a real linux hacker use midnight commander instead of vim+emacs, 100x simpler yet just as effective if used to its' full capability. :-)
DT , buy a fan . Most channels complain about fans and yes the ones in a server rack are VERY loud. Not what I am talking about. I sleep with the fans on, I live with the fans on, but most of all I always work with the fan on. I am a big 'fan' of the rain though, always have been. Better than nearly working in a sensory deprivation environment😣
This .. rocks
I work best when listening to liquid DnB with minimal or no lyrics. It's one of those genres that helps get me into a trance where I just focus and code-stuffs makes more sense to me. I'm so dependent that I keep a lightweight, opus-compressed collection [since I tend to overlook the reduced quality while working anyways] alongside my dotfiles that I can sync between any machine I work on that might not have access to a network at some point [or just reduce network traffic if even to your file server].
Years ago I used to use mplayer to do stuff like this, but mpv is such an upgrade that I can't imagine going back to mplayer anymore (even though the only reason I even discovered mpv was because mplayer finally started giving me trouble when I needed it in termux)
unrelated:
mpv+ytdl is the best way to view youtube if you're easily distracted by recommended video thumbnails. If I don't want to get distracted but want a video explanation about something, I can usually get what I need with `mpv "ytdl://ytsearch5: my query"` (change 5 to whatever number of results you want, but usually I find what I need within the first 5 results though) ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ
The shell is the power of Linux. 90% of what I do is based on scripting. I don't know how anyone could manage without it. 👍🏻
Nice music. But where can I get the Matrix waterfall from the laptop behind you ?
Hey dt this is probably unrelated to the video but what I want tovsay is Brodie made a video about how wsl is improving and I want you to make a strong standpoint video of why linux people should use linux and not windows. Plz consider it
nice wallpaper
Where can I get it?
downloaded, installed, works perfect, thank you! and no more silence :) family wondering where the sound came from.
I like listening to all these renders for sorting algorithms that others make with frequencies matching their sort... i tried listening to music while i program but my mind gets a bit distracted by it. Love your channel bro, ty
Your computer's not making enough sound already? I know mine is.
When is DistroTube doing a collab with Tripcode?
I like to listen to starship ambient noise from TNG. I know, I'm weird.
Nice. An improvement would be to grab pid of mpv to kill the exact one launched.
Interesting idea, might have to look into it, ta. Though if I truly wanted ambient sounds, one of my options is github.audio.
I love this! You had a problem then used what you know to build yourself a tool that solves it. That's exactly how it should go.
well i read that title and thought well why even do anything with the computer for that? you can generate white noise with no more than 2 transistors and like three passives entirely in hardware.
but then i found out that is not exactly what you were looking for.
I never need to write a script because I can just use rust's `cargo run` ;) But yea, have to maintain some scripts
I meant `cargo script`
Really cool... as always DT!!! Thanks!
Appreciate that!
I will hasten to translate it in a zenity form for my Gnome desktop Distro.
TH-cam: Enterprise-D Engine 10 hours
nice
I listen to music/podcasts to drown out the lack of noise^^
Bravo Derek 🥰 A really great practical example 😊 I was expecting you to play it with DeadBeef as you have mentioned that before. Any reason why MPV? 😊
Trying to be mindful of dependencies. Mpv is almost always already installed on Linux.
@@DistroTube Great reasoning! Thanks 😊 I have found that Spotify has some great White Noise based playlists that really help one go to sleep. Just mentioning it for your viewers to check out... 🙏🏼
Glad to know I'm not the only one who can't stand full silence!
i put a radio on my desk listening to police station as ambient noise
10+ hours ww2 bomber sounds are nice
Listen to "Hammock" and you're set.
hey DT, why not also checkout about biaural beats? they are also interesting type of sound to help increase focus and concentration
What about a dot matrix printer?
radio station. Sparky linux
most of the time when i want to install and build a nodejs application frok source i write a script so i can do other things and it just does it i don't need to remember to do a thing
Sorry if my english is bad i just woke up
We need DT videos in ASMR.
You're running the emacs client inside your terminal, correct?
No, most people use the GUI Emacs. The only reason to run Emacs in a terminal is...well, I can't think of any. Maybe in a tty when you can't run a GUI.
Just plug in a noisy fan.
lol just use your phone
rofi?
its tinnitus lmao
Try brown noise
Derek Smith
Wow I'm so early hi DT! :D
Hey there!
ok
:-D
Hope you’re doing better DT!
All good.
the story video cracked me up (sorry)
Yup.
Hey DT could you do a video on your audio setup? You know........the huge boxes behind you.
