Soundescape is a free web application for ambient background sounds. If you struggle to concentrate while working from home, this tool is for you! Audio is rendered in 3D, and you'll never hear the exact same combination of audio twice, as everything is generated randomly.

Even just the short demo blows my mind! Impressive job, congrats for the launch!

Okay this is perfect for me. Wierd to say, there are times when I google a background photo (so I dont get distracted) and listen to ambient study music on youtube. I would be using this product! Would be better if you use sharper images/videos! Consider having a chrome plugin for this? That would be more convenient.

@daryllman Lol that's exactly what I also did sometimes, glad that you like it! Yea better video streaming is definitely something that's on the roadmap. A Chrome Extension is also something I thought of. It could be used as a the start page of Chrome for example.
Daryll Wong
@scriptify Yeap agree for that -- chrome extension for startpage of Chrome. I think chrome extension could be developed quite easily for youself! Even a simple redirect to your website seems handy haha

@scriptify For the video footages, I think there are sites where you can get really HD ones for free e.g. Artgrid or something.

@daryllman Yea artgrid would be a perfect fit! If the product generates revenue at some point, I'd consider buying a subscription there. But then I would also need to combine it with a service like mux.com or something homebrewed using AWS.
Daryll Wong
@scriptify I think for Artgrid you can just download the videos, and If im not wrong you don't need to be subscribed forever to use the footages. Could be wrong

Hello Product Hunt! This is Maximilian, the creator of Soundescape. I've created this web app because I struggle to focus while working from home and background noises are a great tool to gain back concentration. What makes Soundescape different is the way it renders audio: In 3D. It does so by leveraging the same technology which is used for VR games. Also, you'll never hear the same combination of audio twice, as everything is generated randomly. How it works - Choose from a selection of handcrafted audio environments which range from a rainy Jazz bar to a quiet forest lake. - Create your very own audio environments by mixing and matching different sounds. - Listen to the soundscape and get in the zone - Samples will randomly change position in 3D space and play at random time intervals. Soundescape can also be very useful while trying to relax or sleep, I use it myself all the time. Hope you find it useful too! Looking forward to your feedback. P.S.: If you miss working from a cafe or co-working space try out our "Work environments" playlist!

Soundescape looks like a great way to get into "flow state" for long programming sessions. I'll definitely be checking this out the next time I need to focus!

@sean_graham Yea I use it all the time for long, uninteruppted programming sessions. Would love to hear your feedback after you tried it out!

I‘m using soundescape whenever I need to get serious deep work done. I‘ve used similar products and YT stream before, and so far I‘m enjoying the audio + visual experience of soundescape the most. Can recommend to give it a try🤞

@timo_angerer2 Thanks for the feedback Timo!

I love it! The only thing that seems to not be working for me is that when I place anything it the center I can still hear it louder in my left ear. I wonder if that's just on my side or if this is a bug.
Maximilian Torggler

@tymoteusz That's because the sample in the center isn't the exact center of the 3D scene, which is a small bug indeed!

'Quiet Jazz Bar', rather than 'Quite Jazz Bar'?

@colin_smith_ezchile_ True, silly mistake. Thanks for pointing out
