I found this channel that is very relaxing. It plays lofi music. It helps calm the mind and has enough rhythm and progressions to help the mind stay alert also. You might want to give it a listen. I have listened to the first one "Lofi Girl". It is really nice. I have tried the others, maybe they are even better. :)

Lofi Girl
With a staggering 10.5 million subscribers, Lofi Girl (formerly named ChilledCow) easily wins this list’s popularity prize. The streaming channel’s ubiquitous graphic of a girl studying with her cat from the Japanese animated film “Whisper of the Heart” has become both a cultural phenomenon and a universal symbol for lo-fi study music.

First-year student Jacob Ortiz and third-year student Amaya Whitney both said that this channel was a favorite of theirs.

“It just popped up on my recommended,” Whitney said. “It helps me, especially if I’m in noisy areas.” Ortiz referred to the channel as “the one with the girl” but said that he also “likes lo-fi anything.”

If you are searching for a universally beloved, 24/7 hip-hop stream or a lively community of fellow students to study with, Lofi Girl was made just for you.

Abao in Tokyo (阿鲍Abao)
With its impeccable editing and relaxing study-with-me premise, Abao in Tokyo takes the cake as my favorite lo-fi channel on the list. The channel utilizes the Pomodoro Technique (which involves working in 25-minute blocks with five-minute breaks) to create an environment that balances work, focus, discipline, and rest.

The channel also does a great job of providing two- to four-hour-long videos with varied audio options. Whether you are a fan of studying at night in the rain or in the morning to piano and street sounds, Abao in Tokyo lets you curate your study experience according to your personal taste.

crysknife007
You’ve heard of white noise, sure, but have you heard of pink noise? Brown noise? Perhaps purple noise? If you answered “no” to any of the above, head over to crysknife007, the audio channel you didn’t know you needed. This channel specializes in synthetic ambient noise and provides a seemingly endless list of incredible soundscapes to explore.

Some of my personal favorites include their planet soundscapes, super deep blue noise, and their ambient spaceship noise videos. With videos ranging from six to 12 hours, this channel can help with those long study sessions or for escaping the coffee shop chatter.

Conspersa Prometheum
For those looking to study with darker-toned atmospheric music, Conspersa Prometheum is a small corner of YouTube that you’re bound to enjoy. With videos ranging from “afternoon relaxation” and “4 am” to “Atmospheric Black Metal Compilation” and “Music for reading Horror Stories,” I can say with great certainty that there is something here for everyone. Videos on this channel range from 30 minutes to an hour, making it the perfect accompaniment for cranking out papers last-minute — and maybe for falling asleep while trying to do so.

Greenred Productions - Relaxing Music
Greenred Productions is a one-stop-shop for fans of binaural beats, delta wave meditation music, and polyrhythmic noise. Most videos are between eight and 12 hours long, with epic fantasy stationary graphics serving as a steady background for work and study.

This audio is perfect for those who dislike studying with music but still enjoy subtle background noise that is not as flat as white noise. Whether you’re studying, painting, sleeping, meditating, or just hanging out, Greenred Productions - Relaxing Music is a channel you won’t regret subscribing to.

A few honorable mentions include Merve (for the clean aesthetic), jay skullz (for his sheer focus), and Seaside Café Jazz (for the seagull sounds).
