An old favorite combo i would use was similar.

1. live police scanner, typically sf

2. light thunderstorm sounds via rainymood.com

3. Blade Runner Blues

Feels incredibly film noir.




If I could tune into these 3 combined on a 24hr loop as an internet radio station, I'd listen ever single day while coding. This is an amazing combo.

I set the rain one to 50% volume and it balances perfectly with the other 2.

Edit: It also works REALLY well with this instead of the Bladerunner music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebY7byYOwHI


And if you don't want depressing violence and sadness, use any other radio like audio. I recommend Apollo 11 radio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DejhGSEu8wk


There's a disturbing amount of domestic violence calls on the Chicago police radio.


dank. this cures my itch while the OP is suffering downtime.


Oh shit! that is so cool!


I remember the "original" rainymood pairing was with "The Fragrance of Dark Coffee:" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMnrl0tmd3k

"Houston Street" works great as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt524wGJFqs


listentoamovie.com is also a great resource for mixing your own ambience.
