TNG Engineering NIGHT SHIFT Ambience

You know you’re a nerd when you can’t sleep without listening to Star Trek noises in your Star Trek pjs

I find that rhythmic noise from the engines a bit scary somehow. Maybe it reminds of the noise from the Morlocks underground machines in The Time Machine?

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.

Hasn't the entire D model been made in MineCraft and Unreal Engine? Where are some links to explore it virtually?

When Roddenberry penned TNG S1E1, Paramount had no intention of building Engineering for at least 4-6 episodes. 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.

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."

There was so much personality with all those work stations, we saw them use them with during tng with a clue what they were for. And naturally the new shows through all that out the window, and its I dont have a clue. the new people involved with st franchise dont have a clue what made it successful. they just want to adapt it to what they have been told would make it successful today. And its not. in the end they killed what it was, made it new and no one wants it.

If you have selfish inconsiderate neighbours playing loud music sending you insane - this video will literally save your life! Play via a quality bluetooth speaker with a good base and the noise cancelling effects will blow your mind! Spread the word!

For some reason these are very relaxing. Especially the TNG Enterprise ones. I'm really curious: where does the engine hum noise originally come from? It wasn't released on any CDs as far as I know. I'm wondering if there was an episode which had a relatively long clip of engine hum with no other noise, which I missed.

You know there's no "Night Shift" don't you? The Bridge is active 24 hours a "day". Just different butts in the chairs at different hours.

This feels like a calm night shift

So who's got the intermix monitor?

Any plans to do a sickbay track?

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 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!!

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.

Time to hit Ten-Forward for a few rounds and go to bed.

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

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 ex-wife uses a warp core to power her vibrator.

Such a gem!

Who doesn’t love the warp core?

It helps a lot to keep me focused while studying physics.
Thanks a lot

Night shift in space?

Thank you for this.

Great stuff been having a really hard time and this is important when I go out and do things

Where are these visuals from ?? Loving it ❤

Ensign Sonia Gomez has duty watch tonight.

Is this 40hz?

👁️ must tell you something, this reminds me of my past life 🪐,*,
Getting pins & needles on the top of my head 🌒 strange like a connection 🌈

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 Like this Sound very much.

Cool projects like this give me motivation to finish my engineering degree

I can barely hear it.

The pitch of the warp core sounds a little high, but I really like this nonetheless

I was honored to meet Michael and Denise Okuda at a convention in 2019 :)

This is officially the background ambiance for when I write

For some reason this one makes me do a super slow-mo head bang as I'm trying to type a paper.

I don't think I could sleep to this. lol I feel the warp core "boom" inside of me. lol
Ironic that something so explosive sounds like a boom to me. lol

Listening to this while falling asleep is going to get me in trouble someday when I get to work in a Galaxy class Starflet vessel’s engineer department.

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.....

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

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 hope nothing breaks. I have no idea what to do if so, I'm just here to get a nice nap in

i am a doo doo head, that likes this to go sleep

I’m working on my dissertation in mechanical engineering. I needed this. Thank you.

Maybe they won’t notice me over here.

I love the low hums of this video. It's so relaxing.

I’m sure someone has already asked, can you do the Cerritos?
