This experimental recording simulates the sound of a propeller driven airplane. It could be any large prop airplane but we picked the sound of an old B-17 flying fortress WWII bomber to simulate. This is an experimental sleep and relaxation background sound / video brought to you by www.virtualdreamer.com. Please note: there are no bomb explosion sound effects. Jump to minute 20 to listen to a more pleasant droning sound.
I fell asleep to this one night, woke up the next morning and was half way over Germany.
Super Kyle Hahahaha lol XD As long as I get to shoot some Nazi scum, I'll go back with you ;)
SWI0001 What? I don't speak German
SWI0001 Yes, that's correct, but the translation makes no sense at all
+Super Kyle looooooooooooooolllll
+Super Kyle Got shot down?
It's 2 hours of prop engine sounds.... Of course, after 2 hours and ten seconds you wake up screaming, "We've lost all our engines!!!"
skunkers1120 d lol so true
Fark!!!🤣😂
Adding a little cartoonish "put... put... put-uoohh" sound effect at the end would be pretty devious.
Ball gunner down,AA suppressing fire, German Stukas on are flank!
Don't forget the flak noise too

Rest In Peace Brad. Thanks for all you did to help people sleep. We all hope you are at rest now.
did he pass?
@@nathanmihopoulos1138 yeah mate. Sadly he passed earlier this year.
@@Facts_dont_hurt :(
So sad he meant lot to those millions of people God forgive him 😔
@@Facts_dont_hurtLuved his sense of humor and we shared our appreciation of Hitchcock..how sad he left us.
As an aircraft mechanic. I can attest to the many hours of watching B-52 maintenance runs and having a really hard time staying awake. Something soothing about a ridiculously loud and obnoxious engine.
Some of the best sleep I’ve ever had was on the C-Ramp at KISawyer AFB while guarding B-52s during the a Cold War. Maybe it was the sound. Or the noxious fumes from the JP-4.
@@JamieSmith-fz2mz perhaps a combination of both
Me cause I had like 4 Hawkeye squadrons on my base and it was non stop engine turns
I was a F-18 plane captain and the really long night turns at MCAS Miramar would kill my energy levels
I can confirm that as a spacecraft traveler
I had the privilege of taking a wonderful flight on the B-17 `"Aluminum Overcast" just last year. One of the things that really struck me during the flight was just how quiet it was inside the fuselage. I really expected it to be this just crazy loud, rough ride, and it was the exact opposite. The weather was wonderful, the pilots and crew were superb and the entire flight was fantastic, from the beginning to the all-too-soon end. Honestly, I've flown commercial flights that SHOULD have been that smooth. I can't wait to fly with them again!
Man idk who made AO but Yankee lady was a screaming rattling bucking bronco. Lol. 4 shrieking radials, feet lifting up off the floor from rapid altitude loss and then slamming back down from alt gain, and an airframe like a rattlesnake tail. Lol. But would a hundred percent do it again. Definitely
That sounds so awesome! Thanks for sharing that!
Same here! I flew in "Nine-o-Nine" with the Collings Foundation many years ago before it was sadly lost to fire. I too was amazed at how quiet the ride was, and the beautiful hum of the engines. My friend flew later on the B24 "Witchcraft" and he said THAT was definitely way nosier and more of an assault on the eardrums :D
I have heard many complaints that the b-25 is very loud in the cockpit with the propellers and r-2600s so near. I guess that even with four engines that extra space and a few hundred less horspower engine, the noise isn't as loud.
i've never been on a b-17 but, i have flown on a ford tri-motor! fun aircraft!
Nothing like falling asleep to the sweet, soothing sounds of a flying death machine. I love this!
my dear father was so fond of worldwar 2 airplanes and all.he would of loved this.to bad your not here anymore dad. rest in peace
Alban G sory for your loss dude my mom passed away too
The Red Fox Emperor thank you so much for your kindness..that means allot to me in a world where there is so much hate and envy for nothing .. I'm sorry to hear that man..I still have a mother..but I must do without my dad.he was 65 when he went ill..that GODDAMN decease ..wish so bad I could have stopped it. I see him sitting in his all self made cabin.with his pedals playing il sturmovik hah☺I really really wished he would be able to go into one of those simulators...these are so real in this time of day...he would be like a kid so happy it was what he wanted..because actually he told me once he was afraid of flying after he did that in the 60 s. he always wanted to ride a chopper I remember that to. so I wish for my dad he is flying in his favourite plane messerscmid( dad sorry for the way I wrote that..e😊) watching over me flying where ever he wants to go.. best of luck and be strong live for your mother the way she wanted you.. she is always inside you and make her proud.and there for yourself as well. I was 26 when I lost him.and now I'll become 29 and it is such a long way to live...anyway I will get there☺
Alban G i lost my mom 1 year ago i was 16 im 17 now i got over it but im still sad my dad makes me angry alot but i aways will love him and i canit imagine loseing him like mom best of luck to you fella hell ill even sub to you
(Prays)
I'm still sleeping to this. 2014,4,11. still feels like yesterday sometimes. And yes I must cry once in a while when things get really rough. Because I wanted him to see me now and advice me about life. Thanks y'all great people on this comment section.
So that's why I fall asleep when playing war thunder sim...

BRUCE JEANDUC....I was thinking the same thing, or at least some engine back firing to wake you up from a sound sleep.....
'Messerschmitt 109' is code word for your Bengal Cat jumping onto your head!!
Still my favourite sound after all these years. RIP Brad 🙏
This didn't help me sleep at all but it did give me WWII flashbacks.
Try "DC3 Night Flight In The Rain Sound".
Did it give you vietnam flashbflashbacks?
Vins Playz good morning Vietnam
Vins Playz it give me ww3 flashbacks
The sweet , succulent sounds of a death machine lol
My dad was a B -17 bombardier in the War, love to relive his courage!
my grandmother's uncle, i guess my great great uncle, was a waist gunner over germany. small chance that maybe they knew eachother?
My father was a waist Gunner aboard the " Naughty Nan", during bombing missions over Europe. He made it home to start a family, but he died when I was four, so I don't have any concrete memories of him. Hearing the sound of the props spinning and engines firing gives me a sense of a small part of his life.
Nice, my Grandfather and his whole family were almost killed by a american B-17 Bomber when they worked on a field in the west of Germany.... But its ok, lets bomb a family which hasn't done anything against Americans... 👍
My dad was an AA gunner, in germany , was posible to...
@@westphalenglocke9491I took great pleasure in watching our allies walk your people through the camps and see what they let happen
I probably listened to this over 100x already. It's just too good.
+Jim Steglitz thanks. I have an 8 hour version up on YT also
+Brad McBride Brad is there a shorter version of this? a download link possibly?
Is there a downloadable mp3 of this?
Jim Steglitz can't relax if it's quiet
Five years later and I still come back to it at least once a week :)
And still the best in my estimation. The engines harmonizing and vacillating half tones. Beautiful.
Now all it needs is some intercom chatter. And machine-gun fire. And flak.
And some scream of a co-pilot whose arms just got ripped off by shrapnell. Now that would be relaxing!
And those little whistling noises that bombs make when they fall
I'd listen to that to make me sleep.. with screaming co-pilots.
And Hiroshima
Yoda Hiroshima was done with a B-29; that was a completely different aircraft.
This gets my daughter to sleep. Infinite gratitude for that.
What an incredibly original and surprisingly relaxing video. Thank you SOOO much for creating it.
You are very welcome!

"It's just a reconaisance mission", they said. "Get some sleep. Sleep tight kid"
I often listen to this when I need to concentrate on a task for an extended period - it really does the job! Thanks Brad!
Richard Hills It's the perfect noise canceler.
Richard Hills also it makes u feel ur in the plane and going on long missions so only thing to pass time (in ur imagination) is work until the b17 is there or the sound cuts out of the vid
Same for me. There's something about it that makes me Focus.
I miss you Brad. Your work I. The production of this video is super. I was in production too ad enjoy the added touches you came up with. This video will always be my go to sleep video.
This is dream airways, departing Reality on a smooth ride to Dream City. Please, unfasten your seatbelts, and fall asleep at our cruising altitude of however high you want. We hope you enjoy the flight.
palm trees and good things ni
And bombs
When I was a kid I used to stay up late watching old war movies the sound of the planes propellers always put me to sleep.😊
love this sound great so calming !
I think this is just about the coolest thing to fall asleep to yet.
Sounds just like the old steel bladed fan in my great aunts house. I love it, it's so relaxing. Now if it just had some Glenn Miller or Louie Armstrong playing very faintly in the background!
Open another browser tab. Set the volume level for the new video. Press play. Presto! Boeing and Louie!
Whenever I am in a new place or uncomfortable location. for example, having to sleep in my car or in a hotel. I use this sound to just lul myself to sleep. Thinking of flying miles high above the country side at night. Only the moon and stars to show us the way, the gentle movement of the plane over atop clouds. The distant rolling hills below, high up in a "nest" no one can bother you.
This is probably the most hypnotic, mesmerizing and melodic sound I've heard. Other sounds are nice, but this one has lots of tones in it. It's almost musical.
I've fallen completely in love with this track. Dreamed of being a war pilot last night after falling asleep to this. It was awesome.
Needs Flak! 🤣
thanks for noticing... I layered about 8 tracks and offset the left and right channels until I heard that 'whir ~whir ~whir' sound
Aha! That's why this sounds like both the outside and inside of the plane. Would be better just to her from the inside with drone only.
@@judyjones5089 no, it’s the sound of more than one engine.
Frickin well done dude! You would not believe how great this sounds on my IPad Pro! I can’t believe it either!
Reminds me of going to sleep by a sound of an attic fan as a child. Love it!
I can't help but think of James Rolf saying, "Beeeee zevinteen BAWWWLLLMMURRRRRRR" LMAO Look up "AVGN B-17 Bomber"
Just wanted to thank you for this. A family with two boys lives in the apartment above me and this B-17 sound along with good quality ear buds totally drowns out the noise they make when I want to nap or sleep. I use (view) it everyday.
Glad it helps!
Wow didn’t know this one existed till tonight. Like it . I’ve got a thing with trains and planes. ASMR for me I guess. Good night 💤😴 all from California.
Grew up in the 50's....this reminded me of the sound of the airport in SF. I loved riding there a couple of times a month when my mom took my dad for a business trip. The sound of all those four engine prop airliners was wonderful to me! thanks for posting this!
Since I was an adolescent my favourite history topic was World War Two. I was a war junkie and I liked anything and everything about wars. One of the first original computer games I bought with my savings was "B17 Flying Fortress" by the now defunct Microprose. I enjoyed being in a make belief B17 bomber and flying sorties over wartime Germany, it gave me lots of meaning being a tail gunner and shooting down Luftwaffe fighter planes and jets. As I age, I started to suffer from insomnia, and one of the most amusing ways to coax me into sleepiness turns out to be the B17 bomber's engine sound. This video on KZhead tries to recreate the droning sounds of the B17 plane flying in midair. A good two hour clip, it has the ability to calm nerves down and bring about some stoic numbness into the mind.
I think the key to why this is so sleep-inducing for me is that it makes such great use of my subwoofer. The drone gets into the floorboards of the house and you feel the sound as well as hear it. Very few sleep videos seem to have this unique quality. Alas, I also think that's why I wake up as soon as it ends - ha ha.,
Turn the woofer off so you can stay asleep lol.
Love the sound!! 💞 Good night from Detroit, Michigan
Chrissy_love_animals 💞
Yo that’s creepy we live in the same place
why is there a UFO hovering in front of the plane in the opening minute
I was about to ask that same question. Plus it moves to different views in the windows of the plane.
maybe it was just a little joke by creator maker of the video
foo fighter
Illuminati confirmed ;)
A Chaps if your wondering it's because during ww2 there were some bomber pilots who saw strange flying objects in the while they were doing a bombing run
I don't know if my dad would have gotten a kick out of this or been creeped out...but he spent a lot of hours in one of these :) I kinda like it! Peace!
there's. .. someone on the wing
martin villegas enter the twighlight zon*cough* sorry copyright the errrrm evening area
I don't know how to break the news but the crew is on the left wing, bailing out with their parachutes. Further, the auto pilot will switch off in 3 minutes and only you are left to land the plane-all alone. Isn't that hilarious?
Someone or ....... Something
YOU GOT A HOLE ON YOUR RIGHT WING
take this ak-47 and shoot him
Dude this is surprisingly calming when it's a bomber
what do you mean by that? all you hear is the engines itself its not like they supposte to make a different sound because its a bomber thats just weird man

Thank You for this... While my dad was a bombardier in a B-24... I can still picture him leaning against the fuselage as they winged their way to the target somewhere in the Pacific, :-)
I always like the B-24 Liberator
thankyou for uploading this lol, needed the sfx for a school project.
Good luck with your project ;:^)
Jacob Simpson I wonder if I'm the only one to notice your principality of Zeon / Third Reich banner, awesome and original.

Jacob Simpson I like your profile pic
To everyone who cannot fall asleep without ambient noise. Try building a dampened room for yourself. Silence is the best ambience. However tiny sounds outside of silence will become very loud. So it must be done well. This is why sleeping in a car with good seals is comfy. Cause it dampens all the outside sounds. My point in this is that sound still stimulates your brain. So that's part of your brain that doesnt get to rest.
Amazing!!! It makes me feel like a crewman relaxed by the engines during the flight
Goodnight to you all from London, UK
Good night from walsall uk :)
+Grant Jarnagin good night from paris france
good night from San Francisco, Califonia
night... Cape Town, South Africa
Good night from Austin, Texas and New York City!
This knocks me out each and every time! Sets my mind at ease, and brings me some well deserved rest. Great job, Brad!
The mid and high-range oscillating roar/howl of the engines is such a euphoric and dopamine releasing sound to me for some reason. Helps me get right to sleep. Thanks!
Sounds like my old XBOX
Sounds like my old pc
Sounds like my ex
lel...
A ps4 will be louder than a plane
I do all of my best work on airplanes - this is saving me so much money on pointless airfare!
This is what I call a "mind" massage...keep up the good work!
My infant daughter (1month old) loves it! Only way to make her sleep.
This is 10/10 sleeping material. Keep up the good work!
I want one with all of the 50 calibers firing.
Great sound clip, helps me a lot to focus on my studies after a tiring day... and a great insomnia cure as well! cheers
There is something that just relaxes you, the multiple engines in sync is calming. Like a four cylinder Honda motorcycle engine with all its carburetors just perfect working together. My son s my mechanic and he can make those carburetors come in all together. They sound wonderful !
I love this so much! Very peaceful and relaxing :)
When I was 17, I fought in a war. One of these making a nose dive really made a person pray. Had to stay in formation with the rest of the squad. It's something because every pilot up there tried to use the other B 17s as shields against enemy fire. The main problem is that these planes are too big and bulky to manuever. The positive is it could take a lot of machine gun fire as long as it didn't hit something important or hit a pal of yours due to it's bulk. Could have been made a little bit smaller but wasn't to be. Nose dive if the enemy was at you could stall but that plane doing a nose dive helped with escaping. Only guy that got hurt was Enzon the machine Gunner. Never will forget him screaming and seeing his one hand smoking like melted off. His clothes had to be literally cut off with the boys using knives. We we're just kids and didn't know that we could die since we were invincible at that age. Got a taste that day. Those Germans wouldn't give up no matter what you see on TV they
Glad to see I'm not crazy after all. I've been listening to bombers for 12 years, I always sleep like a baby.
Sounds Realistic. And Dreamcore. Even For A Boeing B17 Flying Fortress...
Reccently flew in the back of a B-717 and this was all I could think about. Such a noisy plane, but hearing the propellers and engine rumble quickly became soothing.
I bet this would give nightmares to anyone who lived in Europe or the UK during WWII !
I don't think civis would know what inside the cockpit sounds like.
Pretty sure the UK is in Europe you know
Regor Haroscoe why the UK?
something about the engines of a war bird does not make me want to sleep. in fact, knowing it's a B17 I keep worrying about AA guns instead of falling my asleep.
+lookhowlongmyusernam Could make for some interesting dreams ;:^)
+Brad McBride yeah lol.
+lookhowlongmyusernam After your 18th mission the sound of AA is bliss. You know you are where God meant you to be.
+slimchancetoo yeah, no thanks, as an atheist that sounds like a bad deal.
Imagine if you woke up to see an Me262 flying around and firing at you!
Good to be back Brad been gone a few yrs. thanks for still being there.
Hey Brad. Thanks for these posts. Getting the best sleep for years. Great just sitting chillling to this.
Wake me up when we reach Dresden.
brettfavreify But there are no military targets in this town only innocent civilians. Never forgive, never forget.

Ahhh yes
Yeah same I agree
Thanks I almost missed it. Fell asleep.
Great sound... When I was young, I always fell asleep listening to hairdryers. Close enough. 😂👌🏼
In June, 1944, my father-in-law was navigator on a B-17 that crash landed after bombing Berlin. The average life expectancy of an Eighth Air Force B-17 was 11 missions. My father-in-law and his crew were shot down and captured on their 13th mission.
The navigator has fallen asleep again and we're lost in the twilight zone
Awesome work, I just love these soothing sounds, they really do bring peace to the mind, just great to relax with after a long day!
BEYOND BELIEF. I LOVE IT!
This rules. Very conducive for sleep, study, or work.
Thanks! All my soundscapes are available for download at my website ;:^)
Much appreciated. I'll check it out.
this is one of the nicest sleep aid recording I've heard so far. well done.
It still amazes me that those primitive piston engines could run for hours on end with little or no problems! They stayed well lubricated and yet, were air cooled!
My great grandfather freaked out when I played this sound on my phone. First time he's said anything in his coma.
imagine showing this to a ww2 101 airborne veteran that has ptsd and insomnia at the same time. i wonder how fast he will fall asleep.
Nope Mann idiot
I'll crunch an 8 hour version overnight tonight ( the long ones take hours and hours to compress)
Brad McBride im actually trying to sleep but I jut woke up and it's +9:34 in the morning THATS SKILL FOR MAKING JE SLEEP or just i love love ww2 engine sounds
The addition of a whistling bomb drop and the screams of the dying below - around half way thorough - would make this .....
Truth is.. I hate flying, And yet being able to look out a window and see the props spinning be it 4 engine or 2 ... gives me SOOOO much comfort
play this and (B-17 Ambient) video at the same time . it feels like you are in a B-17 squadron.
Cool!
I thought about adding effects in the beginning minutes ( like i did with my 'Airline Sound' ) but decided not to. I might do an enhanced version at some poit.
Onward and upward we go lulling sweet folks into finding a good sleep or meditating on one creative idea and develop easily with no critics. How about a simple fascination for this white noise and just be happy with the results...
I used to set my Microsoft Flight Simulator to autopilot and let it drone on just like this. I'd completely forgotten (was a long time ago). Thanks for the memory recall!
Jesus I woke up just over Germany
I waved.
Lucky you. You could have woken up in Stalag Luft instead.
For you, the war is over!
thanks... I can't seem to stop myself from mixing these sounds. OCD , I guess. I just did an all night long version of Dark and Stormy Night that I will be uploading tomorrow.
Thought this was rubbish until I put the headphones on!! Brill.
My father-in-law was a pilot who trained in B-17s, then later in B-29s. We have his 8 mm home movies showing his huge beautiful silver '29 in Puerto Rico during a training flight right after the war.
Truly unique experience for me. It's surprisingly sleep inducing.
Obviously listening to a bomber plane is the best way to fall aslesp
I can just imagine the subtle movement and radio chatter in the background. Especially as the tension increases approaching the target.
I'm longing for the turboprop sound effects of the Dash 800 or (similar), the part when the pitch of the blades constantly change during taxi. Thus recording is awesome, as well! Great job!
I loved this sound especially in some old movies where the story takes place on a plane. Also love the visuals as it looks nice and cozy in the cock-pit with the reassuring lites on the instrument panels and all is well into the nites. I say I shall ask the stewerdess on this old bomber for a blanket,pillow and hot chocolate and hopefully catch some zzz'z. Drat,I wish this war would be over.
I tried sleeping to this but there was flak all over my bedroom .
Man what a nice sound, as random as this is, its very pleasant
Another amazing work by Brad..
aint it strange that sounds like these can make you sleep. i thought i was alone in finding noises like these cozy to sleep to. i did wonder if it was because i did alot of travelling as a kid and spent alot of time sleeping in the boot of a estate car, also i was a truck driver and the sound of the engine ticking over (when i stopped obviously) would send me off. would have to wake up and switch it off for the sake of the fuel. : )
I have found certain sounds put me right out. If I am a passenger in an car ride over 3 hours I usually fall asleep. Also on any long jet ride I am out like a light. Sounds that saturate in a soothing way just make me drift off.
totally agree, have subscribed and am going to "chillax" to the sounds. thank you for uploading.
Scientists think it’s because we were hearing noise in our mothers wombs. A constant swooshing and blood flow. So it’s comforting.
