Star Trek TNG Ambient Engine Noise (Idling for 1.5 hrs)

[elash123]

man that just lets me chill...

[jasper3542]

Love this -- have you ever considered putting up other ship sounds? Or a background noise loop of engineering or the bridge, with all the little "boops" and "beeps" coming from the LCARS screens?

[BigCheese285]

This is my study aid, nothing to distract the mind.

[LyricHart]

Very nice. I think it would be fairly easy to create a nearly identical sound by generating some pink noise and filtering it with a parametric equalizer. Should be doable in any digital audio workstation. Still, having the sample from the show gives it a soothing authenticity.

[eakooffire]

I woke up with a massive headache, caused by a cold. But listening to this had the opposite effect. Where other sounds aggravate me, this seems to be the right frequency to dissipate it. D:

[lukagerm]

I'm not sure how this violates mediafire's terms of service but they've removed the file.

[crysknife007]

@lukagerm Ahhh man. Yea I have no idea. Maybe they just assumed it was infringing or something?

[philoneous]

@crysknife007 Any chance you can re-up the OGG somewhere else? (very cool, btw)

This is the best thing on Youtube. Love it, thanks uploader! :)

[crysknife007]

@Rayne474 :D

[pinholh]

loop it!

[talentedlosers]

I got a very similar sounding effect in sound design class by placing a mic in the opening of an air conditioning vent.

[dodger210]

Soothing...

[sn1perman]

pmpl

[dreamslides]

pretty fucking weird

[kdum8]

Thanks, great idea. Is this 'HD' version any better than your 24 hour loop in terms of sound quality, or does the HD just refer to the image?

Also is this available to download anywhere?

Thanks again for your efforts!

[MrRichSpray]

Coolio

[HankTheRouge]

So calm and relaxing

[iloveihop07]

my fav part was when the engine went bruuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmm

[ComputerSherpa]

MediaFire seems to have removed the download. Can you upload it anywhere else?

[gelrichgee]

This is great! Cheers for uploading! only thing that would make it better is if you could put a View Screen Video of space light with it!

[crysknife007]

@gelrichgee Lollls yes, this is what I keep thinking. Like the original windows star screensaver for hours.

[gelrichgee]

@crysknife007 cheers dude. Yeah, defo that kinda thing, but better. is there enough warp flight footage from the shows to make up a vid or is there anyone out there who can program one that well?

[kdum8]

@crysknife007 This would be fantastic. Is this the sound the Enterprise D makes at warp too?

[senseisakornsin]

I guess if I were a crewman, the only reason I'd ever notice the ambient engine noise is if it wasn't there.

[SKsquashbass12]

@crysknife007 Somehow...by posting this, you have become the savior of my ability to concentrate on my homework/studying. I don't know how, but it helps. Tremendously. Thank you!

[pankumrd]

@SKsquashbass12 dtto

[nicoboss8310]

OMG c'est vachement agréable de retrouvé ce bruit,on y est je retrouve mon vieu star trek =p

Merci pour sa !

[bigred808835]

Anyone else hear a high pitched squealing noise over top of the engine noise?

[TelesterionFilm]

@bigred808835 think that's part of the engine noise...or maybe an alien presence has invaded the enterprise? oh no!! red alert!!

[TelesterionFilm]

ah, fetal comfort

[AgentExeider]

any chance you could make a bridge ambient noise vid?

[uncled39]

I listened to the whole 1.30.39

[josepherader]

I'd love to see a video which replicates the sounds of being in Engineering. The sound could occasionally change frequency as if the Enterprise were going at Warp. If you wanted to really get crazy you could include Picard's voice calling for changes in course and speed. :P

[LoneRising]

This playing with RainyMood is absolutely epic.

[hald]

this actually really helps you sleep

[FreeeeS]

[ussenterprisenxo1]

whoops ejected me self out of torpedo tube from borediness

[DjTinnio]

Nice to see this. I had the same idea in the 90'S . An effective fantasy booster :-) . Its true you had to ignore the fact , viewing a spaceship from outside can't make a sound, succesfully. But thats it with ALL science fiction. So don't watch it anymore ? PFFFFFF . In the actual Battlestar Galaktica series they muted most sounds in space. Anyways, funny idea

( by me, hehe ) . Checkout my Soundmod and mixtapes. Tinnio

[crysknife007]

@DjTinnio Awesome. Battlestar is so great

[SaylaGathermoon27]

This is nice...

[crysknife007]

@SaylaGathermoon27 :}

[PintoTM]

It sounds even better on 720p!!!

[crysknife007]

@PintoTM :>

[80smusicfanNO1]

The Star Trek TV shows rocked.......the 2009 film doesn't even compare.

[sirstrongbad]

You pretty much have to play this on speakers, headphones makes it too front-and-centre.. it needs to be background noise.. with the volume about midway, but not too loud to get the full effect,close your eyes and imagine whatever room your in is on the Enterprise D, and you're there...

[jedigeek93]

Press "Mute" to hear what the engines sound like in space!

[sirstrongbad]

@jedigeek93 not from INSIDE the ship. *waves* "this not the successful trolling you thought it was, move along"

[jedigeek93]

@sirstrongbad Not so much as a troll as a lame "sounds does not travel in space" physics joke :P

[sirstrongbad]

@jedigeek93 very well.. *waves hand* "your lame "sound does not travel in space" physics joke was not as successful as you hoped it would be, move along" ;-)

Besides, I agree with George Takei, we need to focus on mocking Twilight.

[diskincluded]

@sirstrongbad One of the rules of movie physics is that sound is louder in space, because there isn't any air to get in the way.

[daexion]

@jedigeek93 *crickets*

[requiett]

Finally, the HD version. Now I can pretend to be Geordi while I nap at work.

[singstar1982]

finally home ;)

[existtraiesc]

it looks like a toilet

[LaydayEruanna]

Me gusta~

[TobyCrushed2114]

Nope I dont get it

[crysknife007]

@TobyCrushed2114 You don't get it? Report to the brig!

[ChuckSoda934]

@crysknife007 Belay that order. Report to sickbay to have your head examined.

[01000011011010000110]

I have the soundtrack to Quake 1, listen to that, in a dark room, with the volume rather high, then listen to the neighbours complain about "we didn't get any sleep last night, was some terrible noise coming from somewhere..".

[ingsocof1984]

I accidentally just listened to this whole thing because it so pleasantly drowned out the construction outside. Well fucking down, Crys.

[crysknife007]

@ingsocof1984 :>

[renxula]

Is that high-pitched whirring / ringing supposed to be there, or is it an encoding artifact? It really sounds like the latter one. :(

[crysknife007]

@renxula I'm pretty sure it happened when youtube transcoded it.

[fauxpasiii]

@renxula Secondary power coupling is misaligned by 0.7 microns. I'll get an engineering detail down there on the double.

[eoindotcom]

10 more minutes. i really should get some sleep but the thought of leaving with only 10 minutes to go would make me feel like a quitter. to tumblr i go till it finishes :D

[anoopks]

Arrrrgh! I can hear a pattern.... :-(

[Wade2st]

@anoopks I can hear it too I think. A small hiccup where it restarts. I should be able to drag this into Wavepad and change it just enough to delete that hiccup or smooth it out.

[anoopks]

@Wade2st thanks for making this btw! i didn't mean to be mean with my comment if it came across that way

[Wade2st]

@anoopks Haha! What do you mean? I didn't make this video. Hint *crysknife007* hint. No but ya that little catch in there isn't smooth. Besides comments aren't meant to be all lovey unicorn rainbow poop sprinkles.

[fanguk2]

Please.....PLEASE for the love of God, do a Battlestar Galactica one from the recent series - i've been dying for someone to do something like this - YOU ROCK!

[yerk55]

This is perfect to go to sleep to. Long enough to be sure it lasts till I fall asleep, but unlike the 24 hour version it will stop before morning and not interfere with my alarm trying to wake me. Plus, it's the freakin Enterprise, so, awesome!

[Ferny84]

Thanks, this helps with my tinnitus.

[oliviasdaddy1]

there's this weird high-pitched sound in there. Sounds like a high-freq cricket.

[MasterJediKyleKatarn]

Thats not the engine noise btw.

[mrbubetube]

The torque sensors sound like they're out of alignment. Mr. LaForge! YOU'RE FIRED!!!

[strawmatt88]

@mrbubetube you beat me to the torque sensor misalignment joke

[blackwyrmdesigns]

Now all I need is a beige-upholstered room and a starry view and I'm at home!

[music2thepeople]

If you have a decent sub, turn this up really loud. it will blow your neighbors mind.

[tbird249]

Now I can listen to this AND watch any Star Trek show I want, awesome!!!

[CaptKJaneway]

Wow. so perfect for my office! This was great!!!!

[RandomNinjaOfEvil]

<3333

[usa4ever2]

I DONT HEAR ANYTHING

[gmajor]

I saw one of their sound designers at a Creation Con years ago. He said the ship engine rumble is just a recording of a forced air vent (while the furnace is in operation) slowed down a few times. I used this same technique to do the engine room noise for my SF radio show back in '94.

[SoloNerfherder]

Genius idea! As soon as the video started, I was taken back to when I first watched TNG and I instantly grinned :) Even though I know I'm not on a starship, I feel like I'm on a starship! Thanks crysknife007!

[noahthebrickster]

/Listen through whole thing while doing homework

/hit replay

??????

Profit

[RandomNinjaOfEvil]

@noahthebrickster I think your ?????? actually is "Exploit the Federation like the bastard Ferengi you are" and then.. Profit!

[Dhari1]

YOUTUBE Y U HAVE NO LOOP?

[crysknife007]

@Dhari1 youtubeloop (dot) /v/cqCoUvz_nwI#s=0&e=5439

[alliedn00b]

ME GUSTA

[ZWhitford]

I have been wanting this for years.  Thank you!

[crysknife007]

@ZWhitford No problem at all!

[jlwhale]

@ZWhitford Me too - thanks! :)

[darthdemain]

I am in love with this! Lol its perfect for relaxation after a hard day.

[crysknife007]

@darthdemain :}

[gogeta0064]

been looking for something like this for such a very long time... this stuff really soothes me out at night. and i can use this instead of a fan :)

thank you so much

[whoisthismuaddib]

this will be way better than listening to howling wind and pretending im on Hoth

[GreeneConsulting]

but real starships don't make any noise or sound like this... Sigh....

[wotmaniac22]

@GreeneConsulting

Only if you're talking about outside the ship. Inside, the sound would still carry.

[GreeneConsulting]

@wotmaniac22 nope there no sound I don't think do .. sound quiet to me.. but maybe it depends on the engines...

[HeroSwe]

There needs to be the bleeps and bloops of the computers too!

[Miguelito1701]

it´s like a heart beat from within the womb

[CaptainTrekkie]

This is grand, although I'm not gonna sit with it for more than 2 minutes I love this sound and it's so good to hear a clean and lengthy version, thanks for taking the time to make and upload it. Also thanks for the download.

[crysknife007]

@CaptainTrekkie My pleasure. Glad you like it!

[puntas13]

My favorite part is at 1:35.

[Kutoomi]

No more having to leave the DVD menu screen on all night- excellent!

[yudiweb]

cool, it's feels like on the Deck!

[mylene97531]

I like this sound in the background when I'm studying(-:

Cool upload!

[crysknife007]

@mylene97531 Thanks!

[SFisher1993]

Ah, I love this sound, so awesome to hear when watching Trek. Cool that it was in the 2009 reboot, albiet briefly. :)

You can hear this sound in Star Wars too, if you listen carefully.

[StoneOz]

wonders if the creator of this has painted consoles & control panels on the walls around thier pc?

[crysknife007]

@StoneOz You know what, thats a pretty good idea...

[whizhunk]

WTF IS THIS SHIT? COME TO INDIA... YOU WILL HEAR THE SAME EVERYWHERE...

[crysknife007]

@whizhunk Yea, because India sounds just like a spaceship.

[lietkynes65]

@MegaKatatat trekcore.com/audio/ there you go. 

[crysknife007]

@lietkynes65 Thanks. Great samples.

[MegaKatatat]

All this needs is the occasional klaxon, sound of going to warp, and some of the random blip noises the computer makes.

[crysknife007]

@MegaKatatat Hahaha yea. That is what people keep telling me.

[uberscientist]

If I had a bong, I'd be ripping TO this (legal damiana of course)

[crysknife007]

@uberscientist Of course.

[annonymooose]

I'll be having a good sleep tonight *dreams of troi*

[crysknife007]

@annonymooose :3

[Zellig]

Ripping this lol.

[crysknife007]

@Zellig \m/ awesome! Hey, I'll add a download link to the comment here in a sec. That's a good idea (uploading).

[crysknife007]

@Zellig mediafire (dot) com/?p8p70p8od51700c

[crysknife007]

Awesome.
