ASMR White Noise Videos | 白噪音背景音樂影片

(中文在後面)

ASMR = autonomous sensory meridian response

Recently I'm addicted to certain types ASMR videos. Not the typical ASMR of eating, whispering, or objects rubbing sounds. I use them as white noise, ambiance sound, or background music almost all day now that I stay at home most of the time working or studying. 

My favorite begins with fire crackling sound. At first I listened to Spotify fire crackling songs while meditating. Then I discovered a built-in app in Apple TV for just this sound with a flame screen saver video. Then I found there were a lot on YouTube with HD quality for hours.



That originally brought me further to fireplace with snowing background, usually in high quality indoor setting, perfect to glance upon in this winter weather and brighting up the room.  



And then, I liked matching these videos to the weather, so some raining videos were discovered. At this point, I started to play cafe videos with typical coffee shop music. Now that coffee shops are closed, I do miss this vibe.



Later, I created a kitchen series for the morning coffee time. It's also nice to have fire cracking sounds in different settings. 



And then Christmas came. Hence this Christmas themed playlist. 



After a while, I collected more and more videos, so they were splitted into day and night, so to match different times of day. 






Finally a playlist of ocean scenery. I imagine there will be more added to this list when summer comes. 



I'm also looking forward to create more themed playlists like spring, nature, garden, library series.

ASMR = 自主性感官經絡反應

自從三月開始社會隔離,在家上班的時候從一開始一片安靜,到喜歡上某種背景音影片。最愛的是木頭燃燒的聲音,最初是靜坐的時候播放Spotify上的火焰聲音當背景音樂,後來在Apple TV發現有火焰燃燒聲音的螢幕保護程式,接著在YouTube找到非常多高畫質、長達數小時的ASMR影片。

這些影片可能已經脫離ASMR的定義(吃東西、輕聲細語、摩擦物體的聲音),廣泛包含了背景音、環境音,我也從一開始只聽火焰燃燒聲,轉向與咖啡廳音樂交錯播放,還有配合當下天氣的各種主題。
