AmbientSounds is an ambient sound player inspired by Noizio, A Soft Murmur, etc...
This repository only contains the audio files used by AmbientSounds. For now, two frontends are available : a curses frontend for linux, and a Firefox OS app (which is also usable on android).
The original sound files are listed below.

To add new sounds, you just need to create an ogg file of a few minutes (preferably less than 5) that loops seamlessly, and set the title tag correctly. Creating a seamless loop is pretty easy with natural sounds, I personally use audacity, with this method to extract a segment that loops without clicking, or this one to fade the beginning and the end of the track. You can also modify the tags when you export an ogg file with audacity.
If you want me to add your sound to the AmbientSounds, you can make a pull request or open an issue. This program is a free software, and will only contain free sounds, with licenses such as CC0, CC BY, CC BY-SA (and not CC BY-NC or CC BY-ND).
