Backrooms Ambience

Featured in the game 'Noclip VR'!! Thank you so so much, Reality Games Online!

This is heavily inspired by the urban myth and/or creepypasta called The Backrooms, which have a very distinct atmosphere to them. This is my interpretation. However, this isn't exclusively for backrooms-related stuff! So by all means, if you're simply in need of some interior ambience of any sort, that's also why I made this for you.

No advanced processing was used to achieve this sound. I recorded an electrical box in my garage for the buzzing. For the 2nd layer, I turned on some fans in my room, and made a long mono recording of the white-noise. I then split the recording in half, and used each half for the left and right channel, giving it a stereo sound. I then spent an hour leveling all of it because I'm a perfectionist. Yay.

Hardware & Software Used:
-Audacity
-Zoom H4n Pro (Buzzing)
-Rode NT1 (Fan-noise)

Feel free to use this however, wherever, and whenever you want, for whatever you want! (As long as you don't blatantly steal credit, of course.)
