Seriously, the sounds no one notices are a big deal. I spent 6 years in the Navy, with most of that time spent on ships, at sea. When I was discharged, I got home, and, I couldn't get to sleep, it was too quiet. I had grown accustomed to the low, but, constant sounds of a warship at night. People talking in hushed voices, footsteps on deck plates, the sound of the turbines, it's all oddly comforting.
Thank you for your service. I've found that a low volume white noise helps me to sleep. Too many years of being on-call at all hours of the night and having to go from sleep to 'fully alert' in a few minutes.
Similar here! Add to that the vibration and rocking of the ship underway ... some of the best sleep ever. When you could get it, of course. ... GSE1(Ret.) 1983-1989 USS KIDD (DDG-993)

It’s fascinating to me that the 1960s TOS sets felt quite clunky and dated by the 1980s, and yet these sets still feel fairly modern even 30 years later. A testament to the work of Rick Sternbach, Michael Okuda, and the other designers.
The Engineroom and some other sets were built in the mid '70s when Paramount was getting ready to go into production with the new Star Trek: Phase II weekly TV show which turned into a series of movies instead. Those sets, especially the engineroom, were reused and redressed in the other series and movies except for Enterprise. Whatever wasn't auctioned off or stolen was disposed of when the last TNG movie was made and when Enterprise was cancelled, then Paramount put Star Trek to pasture around 2005 for a couple years when it was rebooted by J. J. Abrams. The Original Star Trek sets were struck down and given to the Theater Department at UCLA where they were reused to construct sets over the years until all remnants of those original sets were finally reused and/or disposed of.
Well to be fair, RS / MO / et al had a budget. Some episodes of TOS had community theater production values. And we loved them anyway. =) Anyone looking to reboot Star Trek, take note.
I don’t know GSD, if we are talking lack of reliability, I would look no further than the sensors from the original series. Now there is a system as prone to complete failure as Kirks pant elastic around a female alien.
The warp core ejection system is the biggest failure on a starship. That always fails whenever the core is about to explode, and its entire purpose is supposed to be the safety precaution to the volatile warp drive.
@@ScootyPuffSr7 I'd argue it was even the 90's that kept the sets from being completely changed. Nearly every room on the Enterprise oozes A E S T H E T I C.

I rode several USN Carriers (America, JFK, Lincoln, Stennis, Indi, Conny, Saratoga) and the one thing you could always count on was getting to know the "pulse" of the ship without even realizing it. I was lucky enough during my time to never have to be racked near the arresting gear or catapults...those fuckers made one hell of a racket! I became a "Mustang" later in my Navy life, but never lost the ability to code-switch between "feeling" carriers even on the Blue Tile. You always got familiar with the vibrations and hum. The Saratoga was my favorite for this because, not even one week into RefTra, when ops are still being felt out, you could tell when engineering had dropped the load on the generators. You "knew" it before you saw the resulting dimming of the lights and the shrinking images from the PLAT cameras...30 to 40 seconds later. You could feel the boat not feeling "right". But, I suppose it's always that way on a conventional carrier. The nuke boats had different rhythms...like you could tell the difference between forced circ and natural circ up near the chain lockers...or even on the signal bridge. The most depressing thing on the planet for me was walking onboard the Sara right before decommissioning. Her boilers were cold, her fans were off, her recirc and supply pumps were disconnected, the lights were on shore power...she just felt...dead. She had no pulse, no heartbeat, no breathing. I could feel that under my feet. Almost as if I were walking around inside the corpse of an old, respected friend/enemy. I've read a few comments from sailors below, so I wonder if they've had that experience too.
Here's the Interstellar, The Endurance Engine Sound, in HD, for sleep, study, imagination, made for you . ENJOY! :) : ua-cam.com/video/t4K1C45SOz8/v-deo.html
The one obvious giveaway that this set was often redressed to double as various wide hallways is the blue carpet around the table disappearing under the walls. The biege trim should border the walls there, too, but doesn't, because those wall panels get removed to create more Enterprise hallways for other scenes. Good multi-purpose set design.
I think this is the best one. It's more realistic. No still frame shots of ppl frozen in place. No audio clips of key characters talking in the distance. I can see the nightshift being lonely and unremarkable, with just a slight hum of the engineering room happening. Great edit and video. Would have been perfect if a random person walked in briefly to check a dial or screen control, too much activity is distracting though. This is near perfect for studying. Brilliant job.
*+Bill* Well, yes...but also no. I'm not sure how realistic "nightshift" like this would be. Of course, I understand that people have a circadian rhythm. But that doesn't mean 80% of the crew needs to have the same rhythm. Most certainly not if there are hostile alien forces or even empires around. But also if you've got a research vessel or exploration or even a cruise [space]ship, it would not really make sense. On Earth, it would make a whole lot more sense (still, not a whole lot for military ships during active conflicts), because on Earth we have a day-night cycle. But in space, it really does not matter what/when you call it 18:00 or 3:34, like, not at all. It's night all around you, unless you're close enough to a star. Given how huge these starships seem to be (see this video for example: ua-cam.com/video/Lwx5uB0pyhQ/v-deo.html ) and how well I assume you can insulate (both on terms of sound and light) the quarters. So the rest of the day could really all be full daytime. If this isn't what you'd what, perhaps between each deck there's a timezone. It would really not be a stretch to make up work shifts (of at least 5 or 6 hours) that overlap. Keeping the crew fresh, giving ample opportunity for handover and rollcall etc. Shorter shifts also make it more convenient to sometimes start a bit earlier, sometimes a bit later during your 'day'. Making the day-night cycle more gradual, and even being able to do shirts with people who do dayshifts while you're rostered in for nightshift, because those rosters would gradually slide. I'm not sure what I could be missing, though I'm probably overlooking something.
I’ve listened to the voyager night shift and the enterprise b bridge so much, I’ve always wanted a TNG version thank you for this, you’ve no idea how these help me sleep
ender4life I have listened to the Enterprise B bridge and found it kept me awake with the console noises and turbo lift doors , this one doesn’t thanks
Some proper chill in Mr La forge's element 😊🥰 Thanks for sharing this, it's lovely. I didn't appreciate Star Trek at all back when I was a kid, among a few other proper important things, but now I'm absolutely hooked! More or less binge watching it on Netflix.
When I was a kid, I had asthma. My dad had a Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner which used water, and would put eucalyptus oil in it so it would blow out in to the room to help me breathe. I think the white noise of the vacuum did as much to help as the oil. As an adult, Ive been a trucker and had to retire 3 yrs ago because of my health. It's sometimes still too quiet at home to get to sleep.
My wife tried putting ambient rain noise on to get our 3 month old twins to sleep, I had a better idea..... This is great! As others have said, moving the keypad noises is a nice touch and peering at the displays and set keeps me awake to keep an eye on my girls! They dozed off within 5 minutes. Thank you! 😊
I grew up near iron ore loading docks and in the summer time they would be loading ships through the night, i was just close enough to hear the different activities but they weren’t loud enough to startle you. This makes me wanna go there and make field recordings 😃
I've used this every night since I have found this (I think it's been about a week) and this is the only white noise I have ever found that I can actually fall asleep to. Thank you!
@@ender4life Well, it's even more suiting because I work in energy efficiency - creating energy models for whole buildings, developing strategies to reduce their energy consumption, and sometimes eliminating fossil fuels as an energy source completely (electrification). In Star Trek terms - I perform Level 2 diagnostics of building energy consumption.
I am totally with you. I was looking for a good ambience soundtrack for my programming work and this was the best I could find. All others were too intrusive.
"The Warp core is unstable ... we will all die!!! What have you done, ensign?!" "I just did the calibration on console 34 just as you ordered." "And you used the left one?" "I dunno. Is this important?"
This is so perfect. It's like hearing the heartbeat of a giant mechanical "mother" from the inside. So comforting. I can't sleep in silence, nor with too much random racket. This hits the sweet spot. I'd be a poor candidate to work under LaForge, as I'd always be falling asleep at the console, ha ha!
K, but I always kinda imagined Spot doin' a midnight shift prowl around the ship, stoppin' by Engineering for some replicated tuna and butt-scratches from Nuncle Geordi before floppin' over one of the plasma conduits for a snooze. And bc these things are always better w a kitty, ofc.
So you go see Dr. Crusher about sleeplessness. She wants to give you something then you ask "can I sleep in Engineering? The ambient noises would help" Crusher dumbfounded says "okay clear it with commander La Forge" And here we are.....
Very relaxing...love it. It needs soft background conversations every so often from LaForge, Data, and Wesley (and maybe a Barclay cameo as a surprise!) as they burn the midnight oil trying to solve the latest impossible engineering problem that the Enterprise is faced with. Maybe every now and then you hear the warp core come to life as the Enterprise warps somewhere else.
I’m approaching that late mid-life stage where I’m struggling to sleep through the night. I’ve used similar videos in the past with mixed results, but the engine room noise last night kept me OUT. Thank you!!
When Roddenberry penned TNG S1E1, Paramount had no intention of building Engineering for at least 4-6 seasons. He caught wind of that and put in a scene or two in Ep1, convincing the execs to bankroll the set. Carpentry outdid themselves with the Engineering set. I am sure glad they included the carpeting.
Don’t know why youtube sent this video my way but I really appreciate it. Kudos to the modelers for capturing the look and lighting of Enterprise D’s engineering. Sounds are also amazing and comforting. Well done!
I am 100% going to try this when I head to my Quarters tonight, i've been listening to a lot of podcasts or sometimes watch a bit of TNG/VOY and this might be the perfect noise to sleep to.
My dad was an engineer who helped design aircraft carriers and towards the end if his career, was involved with nuclear submarines. He would have loved this!
I could float around the bridge in my dreams during the night shift, but I like being close to the warp core in engineering better. Sounds like Lady Enterprise's big heart. I find the sound...comforting.

@@wolfthehunter3 Um..that would be pretty brilliant, actually. A slice of war space comedy with occasional injections of drama. Like an Orville that didn't suck.
This is a lot better then others who claim to have this sound scape. You have the thrumming! Can you make another one from the ready room. It’s deeper in tone. More booming. But this is great. It sounds like you are in engineering!
I mean, do they ever leave the carpet? Plus, I imagine the transporter is programmed to not bring soil back from away missions as a part of quarantine procedures.
Not really much opportunity to get it dirty. That said, someone was keeping the Enterprise spotlessly clean and we never see the janitorial staff, as far as I know. Think of all the greasy fingerprints on the consoles and stuff...
So soothing. I like to think when Engineering was this quiet the skeleton staff on duty were all just slumped over their consoles sleeping soundly because of this noise.
Oh holy crap... I totally didn't notice before. The consoles on the back wall in the "office" area behind the glass (seen on the left at 0:43) are actually from the Sickbay set from The Motion Picture. Rather McCoy's Office, but there were the two consoles with the glass separator between them. That is the same wall unit right there (as that segment was not part of the TNG sickbay set). Talk about slick re-purposing of existing sets :D
@@ender4life You can tell by the way the console only has the large edges on one side while connecting in the middle, while that middle forms a solid separation on the wall between the two consoles. You see that same layout in Sickbay after Kirk, Spock, and Decker leave the surgical bay and lock the door to talk about the Ilia Probe (only for her to bust through the door a moment later). The two separated sections are just brought together here without the wall between them.

I'm an insomniac night owl, so I would be prowling around the ship at night "Counsellor what are you doing in engineering?" "Oh nothing Jordie, carry on." Kudos on such stunning work!
Anne Serkin Oh me too. I’d be down in Cetacean Ops talking to the dolphins, bugging Guinan about her life story in Ten Forward, strolling through the arboretum...
Absolutely Brilliant ! I dreamed I was chatting up with the crew and needed to get cleaned up after a workout on the holodeck and some one recommend a sonic shower !
Haven’t been able to sleep since my home world of Romulus was atomized by the Hobus supernova of 2387. A big thanks to ender4life for these videos. I can now achieve a state of Mnhei’sahe, that no amount of Kali-fal can replicate, and I can finally slumber more deeply than a Tribble with a belly full of Quadrotriticale. Jolan’tru.
Just found my new favorite sleep sound. Was using a version of Starship Sleeping Quarters. Going to be using this for a while. I like the pulsing sub harmonics.
Diana Troi and I spent some time down here once on a night shift. She took me there to console me when I was an ensign, oh the memories. Don't tell Riker okay?!
Captain, don't mind me setting up a cot in engineering. On that note, I've decides to fall asleep to this every night, hoping for dreams of the D lmao.
I never got the whole "day" vs "night" on a starship. It's space, there's no night and day (and yes, I get that they're simulating normal Earth hours). My point is, the starship doesn't pull over at their local galactic Walmart and park for the night. They keep moving, 24/7, so the bridge and Engineering should be fully staffed at all times.
Ships are not fully staffed 24 hours a day. When a ship is doing nothing but traveling on a steady course and speed, not much is required. The nocturnal and diurnal staffing of a ship’s company is standard naval practice. The only difference here is it would be more mission oriented. O a sub there’s no night or day either, but they still observe normal time and keep normal shifts to where it’s busier sometimes than others based on a 24 hour cycle.
There would always be a duty on watch, but this is what that’s like. This is the perspective of that one guy on watch, ready to sound the alarm if needed, but more than likely, it’ll just be walking around every half hour, checking things, making sure older kids of crew members aren’t screwing around (literally and figuratively) where they aren’t, no fires not contained, no need to do an emergency antimatter dump, etc. Other than that, it’s a Red Bull/monster energy drink, a book or magazine, and this sound until it’s time for his/her relief to take over.
I run this on good speakers as I sleep. It becomes a part of the wallpaper, but you certainly notice when it stops! Tng was mind blowing to 11 year old me. I watched it almost every day after school. Lol I went to the Natl Air and Space Museum with my dad and totally missed some historic planes bc my nose was buried in the Technical Manual that they had in the gift shop
That's my nights soundtrack sorted then 😊 On the other point the whole way that some companies and franchises choose to protect and defend their so called precious IP interests astounds me. They do realise that it's the fans who buy, watch and live their products don't they? By shutting down or disrupting many fan based projects they just piss everyone off and damage the brand in my opinion. Obviously it's different if your just ripping off a brand to make money but that's almost always not the goal of genuine fan based content. Anyhow, rant over...... More sterling work here as usual mate 👊😎
Unfortunately I think human logic breaks down at some point and they replace it with automated robots that seek and destroy everything without investigating it first. It's literally "guilty until proven innocent"; you have to manually challenge their takedowns and there's no guarantee a human will ever actually even look at your challenge. It's a cost-cutting effort but takes away jobs and destroys humanity's personal reasoning. You pose an excellent challenge to their current reasoning but they'd prefer id over ego if it's easier. Ironically, this is exactly what the first episode of TNG warns about.
As a note, The Star Trek Set Tour in Ticonderoga NY that has a flawless TOS bridge and is opening a TNG bridge overseen by the Okudas soon has also purchased the adjoining 28,000 square foot building. They intend to build the Enterprise-D two story engineering set full scale to walk around in, along with corridors.

Her boilers were cold, her fans were off, her recirc and supply pumps were disconnected, the lights were on shore power...she just felt...dead. She had no pulse, no heartbeat, no breathing. I could feel that under my feet. Almost as if I were walking around inside the corpse of an old, respected friend/enemy. I've read a few comments from sailors below, so I wonder if they've had that experience too.
Great post!!!
This comment should be pinned!

I’m working on my dissertation in mechanical engineering. I needed this. Thank you.
You’re welcome and good luck on your dissertation!
Here's the Interstellar, The Endurance Engine Sound, in HD, for sleep, study, imagination, made for you . ENJOY! :) : ua-cam.com/video/t4K1C45SOz8/v-deo.html
@@ender4lifeThank you. I’m presenting my work at a conference next week. I still use Night Shift. It really helps me focus.
The one obvious giveaway that this set was often redressed to double as various wide hallways is the blue carpet around the table disappearing under the walls. The biege trim should border the walls there, too, but doesn't, because those wall panels get removed to create more Enterprise hallways for other scenes.
Good multi-purpose set design.
You know, this is the more beautiful sound, it's like a heartbeat, telling us that Enterprise-D is alive and keeping us safe.
I have turned this on every night for two weeks, fall asleep - and sleep better - than I have in years. Bless you for creating this. ❤️
I think this is the best one. It's more realistic. No still frame shots of ppl frozen in place. No audio clips of key characters talking in the distance. I can see the nightshift being lonely and unremarkable, with just a slight hum of the engineering room happening. Great edit and video. Would have been perfect if a random person walked in briefly to check a dial or screen control, too much activity is distracting though. This is near perfect for studying. Brilliant job.
*+Bill* Well, yes...but also no. I'm not sure how realistic "nightshift" like this would be.
Of course, I understand that people have a circadian rhythm. But that doesn't mean 80% of the crew needs to have the same rhythm. Most certainly not if there are hostile alien forces or even empires around. But also if you've got a research vessel or exploration or even a cruise [space]ship, it would not really make sense. On Earth, it would make a whole lot more sense (still, not a whole lot for military ships during active conflicts), because on Earth we have a day-night cycle.
But in space, it really does not matter what/when you call it 18:00 or 3:34, like, not at all. It's night all around you, unless you're close enough to a star. Given how huge these starships seem to be (see this video for example: ua-cam.com/video/Lwx5uB0pyhQ/v-deo.html ) and how well I assume you can insulate (both on terms of sound and light) the quarters. So the rest of the day could really all be full daytime. If this isn't what you'd what, perhaps between each deck there's a timezone.
It would really not be a stretch to make up work shifts (of at least 5 or 6 hours) that overlap. Keeping the crew fresh, giving ample opportunity for handover and rollcall etc. Shorter shifts also make it more convenient to sometimes start a bit earlier, sometimes a bit later during your 'day'. Making the day-night cycle more gradual, and even being able to do shirts with people who do dayshifts while you're rostered in for nightshift, because those rosters would gradually slide.
I'm not sure what I could be missing, though I'm probably overlooking something.
@@daddyleon relax and enjoy the sounds. You put entirely WAY too much thought into someone's simple comment.
I’ve listened to the voyager night shift and the enterprise b bridge so much, I’ve always wanted a TNG version thank you for this, you’ve no idea how these help me sleep
TAG Rodgers I have another video in the works with just the warp core sound and nothing else, be sure to check that out in a week or so
ender4life thanks for the heads up I will deffo keep checking for when that hits your channel
ender4life I have listened to the Enterprise B bridge and found it kept me awake with the console noises and turbo lift doors , this one doesn’t thanks
Some proper chill in Mr La forge's element 😊🥰
Thanks for sharing this, it's lovely. I didn't appreciate Star Trek at all back when I was a kid, among a few other proper important things, but now I'm absolutely hooked! More or less binge watching it on Netflix.
Sweet, glad you found it!
When I was a kid, I had asthma. My dad had a Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner which used water, and would put eucalyptus oil in it so it would blow out in to the room to help me breathe. I think the white noise of the vacuum did as much to help as the oil. As an adult, Ive been a trucker and had to retire 3 yrs ago because of my health. It's sometimes still too quiet at home to get to sleep.
Every three minutes: COOLANT LEAK! WE'VE GOT A COOLANT LEAK! 4 MINUTES TILL A WARP CORE BREECH!
Shut up Wesley!
Yet we never saw any type of oil or liquid residue 😂 😂
Lol I heard this is Geordis voice
Followed by Geordi doing a barrel roll under the isolation door as it's closing.
This must be why Barclay had such a hard time staying awake
🥦
My wife tried putting ambient rain noise on to get our 3 month old twins to sleep, I had a better idea..... This is great! As others have said, moving the keypad noises is a nice touch and peering at the displays and set keeps me awake to keep an eye on my girls! They dozed off within 5 minutes. Thank you! 😊
Omg that’s awesome. One day you’ll have TNG on in the background and they will be inexplicably drawn to it 😀
@ender4life Thats at least half my thinking! 😋
I love your tracks. Thank you so much for all the time and diligence you put into these.
RedScaledKnight1 thanks for noticing!!
The DiLithium crystal humming nicely in the background.
Actually I thought the resonance frequency was a little off, if you could adjust that for me by the end of your shift that would be great
I grew up near iron ore loading docks and in the summer time they would be loading ships through the night, i was just close enough to hear the different activities but they weren’t loud enough to startle you. This makes me wanna go there and make field recordings 😃
I've used this every night since I have found this (I think it's been about a week) and this is the only white noise I have ever found that I can actually fall asleep to. Thank you!
Great to hear!
Should've ended the ambiance with a RED ALERT siren to wake people up. It would be priceless 🖖
YES. haha
@@patrickmcabee123 *giggles like a fruit*
Haha that's evil
Thats great
HA! Warning, warp core breach in ten seconds 😂🤦🏽♀️
I've gone through most of these "Enterprise D Warp Core" vids on youtube and yours is by far the best :)
Definitely the most soothing sound to have on in the background when concentrating or trying to relax. Has certainly helped me in the past week!
One of my favorite tracks to listen to while grinding out engineering work.
Sean Eyler I’m glad that ended with “engineering work.” 😆
@@ender4life Well, it's even more suiting because I work in energy efficiency - creating energy models for whole buildings, developing strategies to reduce their energy consumption, and sometimes eliminating fossil fuels as an energy source completely (electrification).
In Star Trek terms - I perform Level 2 diagnostics of building energy consumption.
I am totally with you. I was looking for a good ambience soundtrack for my programming work and this was the best I could find. All others were too intrusive.
"The Warp core is unstable ... we will all die!!! What have you done, ensign?!"
"I just did the calibration on console 34 just as you ordered."
"And you used the left one?"
"I dunno. Is this important?"
@Eros Delorenzi You poor thing.. HEY.. WHY is nobody feeding this troll?! Here, have a reply ;)
This is so perfect. It's like hearing the heartbeat of a giant mechanical "mother" from the inside. So comforting. I can't sleep in silence, nor with too much random racket. This hits the sweet spot. I'd be a poor candidate to work under LaForge, as I'd always be falling asleep at the console, ha ha!
K, but I always kinda imagined Spot doin' a midnight shift prowl around the ship, stoppin' by Engineering for some replicated tuna and butt-scratches from Nuncle Geordi before floppin' over one of the plasma conduits for a snooze.
And bc these things are always better w a kitty, ofc.
So you go see Dr. Crusher about sleeplessness. She wants to give you something then you ask "can I sleep in Engineering? The ambient noises would help" Crusher dumbfounded says "okay clear it with commander La Forge"
And here we are.....
This is how I choose to spend Star Trek day; white noise to go off and dream.
I was honored to meet Michael and Denise Okuda at a convention in 2019 :)
Very relaxing...love it. It needs soft background conversations every so often from LaForge, Data, and Wesley (and maybe a Barclay cameo as a surprise!) as they burn the midnight oil trying to solve the latest impossible engineering problem that the Enterprise is faced with. Maybe every now and then you hear the warp core come to life as the Enterprise warps somewhere else.
I will never have trouble sleeping again. I can rest easy, knowing the warp core is in excellent hands at all times.
I feel so safe with Captain Picard on the Bridge and Commander Geordie LaForge holding it down in Engineering!
I’m approaching that late mid-life stage where I’m struggling to sleep through the night. I’ve used similar videos in the past with mixed results, but the engine room noise last night kept me OUT. Thank you!!
When Roddenberry penned TNG S1E1, Paramount had no intention of building Engineering for at least 4-6 seasons. He caught wind of that and put in a scene or two in Ep1, convincing the execs to bankroll the set. Carpentry outdid themselves with the Engineering set.
I am sure glad they included the carpeting.
You know you’re a nerd when you can’t sleep without listening to Star Trek noises in your Star Trek pjs
Don’t know why youtube sent this video my way but I really appreciate it. Kudos to the modelers for capturing the look and lighting of Enterprise D’s engineering. Sounds are also amazing and comforting. Well done!
I am 100% going to try this when I head to my Quarters tonight, i've been listening to a lot of podcasts or sometimes watch a bit of TNG/VOY and this might be the perfect noise to sleep to.
Comeback to reddit
My dad was an engineer who helped design aircraft carriers and towards the end if his career, was involved with nuclear submarines. He would have loved this!
Dee Dee 🙏🏽 That’s amazing, this would have made him feel right at home
I could float around the bridge in my dreams during the night shift, but I like being close to the warp core in engineering better. Sounds like Lady Enterprise's big heart. I find the sound...comforting.
I really wish I was a starship engineer
I’m working on building one ASAP
Plenty of opportunity for promotion.
Is space force still happening ?
Excellent work here. What I like is how there are some control panel and other incidental noises - it makes the audio seem far more real
Thanks for noticing the details! 🙏🏽

I just want a Neo-Realist Star Trek show like this. Mundane shit.
I'd like a star trek like MASH
YES
ALSO YES
@@wolfthehunter3 Um..that would be pretty brilliant, actually. A slice of war space comedy with occasional injections of drama. Like an Orville that didn't suck.
@@Racistobama I enjoy the witty banter of MASH
I sometimes imagine myself being crewman fixing some stuff while everyone is asleep... Maybe some hull repairs in a CMU when ship is stopped...
I know full well I would pull a Barcalay and retreat into the holodeck at all opportunities.
I think there is a robot chicken skit about the “night shift”.
That's nice. I find it more relaxing than most sleep sounds. Thank you for this.
Mona Swearingen you are very welcome! I’m glad you like it
This is a lot better then others who claim to have this sound scape. You have the thrumming! Can you make another one from the ready room. It’s deeper in tone. More booming. But this is great. It sounds like you are in engineering!
Sudeep Chatterjee thanks! Ready Room is on the list. Enterprise D Bridge NIGHT SHIFT is next!
It helps a lot to keep me focused while studying physics.
Thanks a lot
Some of those computer screen table tops would be pretty sweet places to play cards or D&D.
perfect! thank you so much!!
Beautifully done, thank you
this is so well done. I'm also glad I'm not the only one wondering how the carpet was always clean
Right?!
I mean, do they ever leave the carpet? Plus, I imagine the transporter is programmed to not bring soil back from away missions as a part of quarantine procedures.
Not really much opportunity to get it dirty. That said, someone was keeping the Enterprise spotlessly clean and we never see the janitorial staff, as far as I know. Think of all the greasy fingerprints on the consoles and stuff...
So soothing.
I like to think when Engineering was this quiet the skeleton staff on duty were all just slumped over their consoles sleeping soundly because of this noise.
Oh holy crap... I totally didn't notice before. The consoles on the back wall in the "office" area behind the glass (seen on the left at 0:43) are actually from the Sickbay set from The Motion Picture. Rather McCoy's Office, but there were the two consoles with the glass separator between them. That is the same wall unit right there (as that segment was not part of the TNG sickbay set). Talk about slick re-purposing of existing sets :D
Might have to go back and give it a look...
@@ender4life You can tell by the way the console only has the large edges on one side while connecting in the middle, while that middle forms a solid separation on the wall between the two consoles. You see that same layout in Sickbay after Kirk, Spock, and Decker leave the surgical bay and lock the door to talk about the Ilia Probe (only for her to bust through the door a moment later). The two separated sections are just brought together here without the wall between them.
I love the low hums of this video. It's so relaxing.

I love how much a show from 1987 got right about how computers would look in the future.
I wish Siri responded to “computer.”
@Nicholas Olesen Or make it where YOU can set the phrase yourself.
@@petuniaandpoppy4615 Amazon Alexa devices can respond to Computer prompt.
More like I love how much Steve Jobs cloned LCARS, he cited those tablets as influential to the design of iPad.
Awsome. Anyone else want the sounds of serenity? (Firefly) Please make that one
oh that would be awesome
Aww Hell yeah!!!! I would so love I if someone did Serenity!!!!!
@ender4life this idea!
Only if it comes with some random Kaylee chatter emanating from the engine room. 🥰
@@DementedDistraction Firefly engine sounds, and Kaylees voice? Id never get any sleep again! 🤤
Ship's heartbeat
I like to change the volume slowly and pretend I am walking across the ship
That is a stellar idea
Thank you for putting this on here it helps me sleep.
I’m happy it helps!
This is surprisingly soothing. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Love this new Tardis interior

It's so spacious, I never would have guessed

My friend works at a Vet Clinic. They play this constantly for the animals and crank it when euthanizing the dogs and cats. Calms everyone. Thank you!
I'm an insomniac night owl, so I would be prowling around the ship at night
"Counsellor what are you doing in engineering?"
"Oh nothing Jordie, carry on."
Kudos on such stunning work!
Anne Serkin Oh me too. I’d be down in Cetacean Ops talking to the dolphins, bugging Guinan about her life story in Ten Forward, strolling through the arboretum...

Geordi: ...What the hell?

This is brilliant! Love it!
Thank you! Cheers!
Good to hear that once again.
Near the end they should have the "Red Alert" sirens play, then shift to "We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."
The warp core sounds like a computerized heart beating
I think that is what they were going for. Definitely has a soothing effect to it.
Yes, that's so true, interesting observation! Totally agree with both of you.
It is the great heart of our glorious lady Enterprise. We're floating through space in her silvery womb.
"Captain. We've discovered a new nebula in a nearby star system."
"Zzzz... Eng-YAWN-age...zzzzz"
Absolutely Brilliant ! I dreamed I was chatting up with the crew and needed to get cleaned up after a workout on the holodeck and some one recommend a sonic shower !
THIS IS THE GREATEST THING THANK YOU
Lt. Dan has MAGIC LEGS
I actually had many dreams to this track last night. I didn't have any space adventures, but plenty of restful sleep!
Haven’t been able to sleep since my home world of Romulus was atomized by the Hobus supernova of 2387. A big thanks to ender4life for these videos. I can now achieve a state of Mnhei’sahe, that no amount of Kali-fal can replicate, and I can finally slumber more deeply than a Tribble with a belly full of Quadrotriticale. Jolan’tru.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Well, what do you know. The ship has a heart beat!
tron3entertainment healthy AF
Every ship has a heartbeat!
Neil Newhall came to say the same. Whether it’s the Black Pearl or the Big E, ships live.
Don't drink hot chocolate, cause you could spill it on your Captain when they visit engineering
Just found my new favorite sleep sound. Was using a version of Starship Sleeping Quarters. Going to be using this for a while. I like the pulsing sub harmonics.
Diana Troi and I spent some time down here once on a night shift. She took me there to console me when I was an ensign, oh the memories. Don't tell Riker okay?!
Funny, Ensign Ro "consoled" me in Engineering as well. Then I "consoled" her.
You meant sex, right?
If i had to chose a shift it would definetly be night shift..😴..
Yeah I'd much rather get eaten up by a galactic anomaly while I was asleep, so others had to deal with it. I'm more of a "B Plot" sort of crewman :P
What's 'night' in space anyway?
@@derianvandalsen Well, obviously that'd be 24/7!
Like the added shots of the panels.....LCARS makes me feel safe mate.
Great work as always.
Like my cat purring. Very nice.
Captain, don't mind me setting up a cot in engineering. On that note, I've decides to fall asleep to this every night, hoping for dreams of the D lmao.
I never got the whole "day" vs "night" on a starship. It's space, there's no night and day (and yes, I get that they're simulating normal Earth hours). My point is, the starship doesn't pull over at their local galactic Walmart and park for the night. They keep moving, 24/7, so the bridge and Engineering should be fully staffed at all times.
But you can't tell if Engineering is staffed or not if you've fallen asleep. ;)
My thoughts exactly. Doesn’t make sense. Sometimes tv shows miss the mark. All senior staff on one shift. No such thing as day and night
They have day and night shift to keep us humans acclimatized for sleep patterns, saying that time for bed I think
Ships are not fully staffed 24 hours a day. When a ship is doing nothing but traveling on a steady course and speed, not much is required. The nocturnal and diurnal staffing of a ship’s company is standard naval practice. The only difference here is it would be more mission oriented. O a sub there’s no night or day either, but they still observe normal time and keep normal shifts to where it’s busier sometimes than others based on a 24 hour cycle.
There would always be a duty on watch, but this is what that’s like. This is the perspective of that one guy on watch, ready to sound the alarm if needed, but more than likely, it’ll just be walking around every half hour, checking things, making sure older kids of crew members aren’t screwing around (literally and figuratively) where they aren’t, no fires not contained, no need to do an emergency antimatter dump, etc. Other than that, it’s a Red Bull/monster energy drink, a book or magazine, and this sound until it’s time for his/her relief to take over.
Thank you for this.
Cool projects like this give me motivation to finish my engineering degree
I run this on good speakers as I sleep. It becomes a part of the wallpaper, but you certainly notice when it stops!
Tng was mind blowing to 11 year old me. I watched it almost every day after school. Lol I went to the Natl Air and Space Museum with my dad and totally missed some historic planes bc my nose was buried in the Technical Manual that they had in the gift shop
Now this is my jam
That's my nights soundtrack sorted then 😊 On the other point the whole way that some companies and franchises choose to protect and defend their so called precious IP interests astounds me. They do realise that it's the fans who buy, watch and live their products don't they? By shutting down or disrupting many fan based projects they just piss everyone off and damage the brand in my opinion. Obviously it's different if your just ripping off a brand to make money but that's almost always not the goal of genuine fan based content. Anyhow, rant over...... More sterling work here as usual mate 👊😎
Unfortunately I think human logic breaks down at some point and they replace it with automated robots that seek and destroy everything without investigating it first. It's literally "guilty until proven innocent"; you have to manually challenge their takedowns and there's no guarantee a human will ever actually even look at your challenge. It's a cost-cutting effort but takes away jobs and destroys humanity's personal reasoning. You pose an excellent challenge to their current reasoning but they'd prefer id over ego if it's easier.
Ironically, this is exactly what the first episode of TNG warns about.
Brilliant!
William Richards my mom thinks so as well!
I'M in love with this
As a note, The Star Trek Set Tour in Ticonderoga NY that has a flawless TOS bridge and is opening a TNG bridge overseen by the Okudas soon has also purchased the adjoining 28,000 square foot building. They intend to build the Enterprise-D two story engineering set full scale to walk around in, along with corridors.
