In college, you have a lot of noise to combat. Whether you’re trying to study, do homework, or sleep, there is usually a lot of noise. Noise coming from your neighbors, people walking outside your res hall, people talking, music, and many more distracting sounds. However, I recently found one of the greatest things to help me complete my work. It has also helped me to fall asleep or relax, whether I have had an anxiety attack or not. It’s called Ambient-Mixer.com.
This website has hundreds of different ambient sounds. You can even make your own ambient sounds and tracks when you sign up for a free account. Even without a free account, you can access the hundreds of ambient sounds. Now, my favorite place to find the ambient sounds I am going to listen to while I do homework is under the “movie” section.
Since I am a nerd, I was ecstatic when I found that they have ambient sounds from Harry Potter, Sherlock, Supernatural, and other fandoms. Personally, I love the Harry Potter and Sherlock ambient sounds the most. I prefer the Slytherin Common Room that has a dank sound. You can also adjust the sounds you want to hear once you choose your ambient sound. When I listen to the Slytherin Common Room, I prefer to have the metallic footsteps happen once every ten minutes rather than once a minute.
There’s also the Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff Common Rooms to choose from. Other choices include the Hogwarts Library, Storm on the Hogwarts Express, The Great Hall, Riding with the Winchesters, In Rivendell, Tom Bombadil’s house, Loki’s Chambers, and Sherlock’s Apartment are all a sample of the selections to choose from.
Having ambient sound to listen to while completing homework or studying really helps me. I know tuning out people talking and other sounds while trying to concentrate can be difficult. But Ambient-Mixer.com is a portable white sound machine that can transport you to different realms.
Personally, I find the Storm on the Hogwarts Express to be the best. It feels as though I am on the Hogwarts Express trying to finish an assignment before I get to Hogwarts. It is also really good at keeping out other sounds but is still relaxing to listen to.
Go forth and study, relax, or fall asleep at Hogwarts, or Sherlock’s apartment, or Rivendell or wherever your heart desires!
