Sleeps sounds can help the listener fall asleep faster, typically by adding a bit of gentle background noise to an overly silent environment or by hiding distracting noises.
The best sleep sounds typically include soft white noise, various ASMR sounds (train or airplane ride, fans, ventilation, city ambiance), as well as relaxing nature sounds (rain, crickets, ocean waves, waterfall, wind, and so on).
Hi, I’m Mik, one of TunePocket music composers and sound designers. I went though our growing catalog of royalty free meditation and relaxation sounds and picked my top 20 favorite relaxing sounds that, in my opinion, work best for sleep related videos.

Many people who have trouble falling asleep prefer subtle white or brown noise to simply hide other distracting noises around them.
However, most popular sounds for deep sleep and insomnia are undoubtedly nature sounds.
These sleep sounds include thunderstorm or rain drops, wind, oscillating fans and ventilators, ocean waves, waterfalls, crickets, train or airplane ambiance, wind, rainforest, and more relaxing sounds of nature.
Another popular category of sleep sounds are white noise sounds for sleeping.
Looking to combine sleep sounds with relaxing music? Check out our big collection of relaxing and meditative zen music.
Idea: Try mixing sleep sounds with 2 Hz brain wave tone (commonly associated with deep stages of sleep).

Thanks for making this playlist! I understand you’re offering sounds to use videos or if I want to use it in a commercial mediation practice, for example.
What if I just want to listen to sleep sounds for my own use? That is, to sleep 🙂 I typically go to YouTube for sleeping sounds but more often than not the sounds are interrupted by the ads and that’s distracting. Do you have a streaming option?
Sure thing! If you only need to stream the sounds, take a look at MyRelaxation.online
They offer streaming services for business too! Hope this helps.
