Ambient music is a form of instrumental music that uses gentle, repetitive and soothing sounds to create a sense of peace, calm and relaxation. It often takes influences from many other musical genres such as world music, classical, jazz, folk and more.
It’s really useful for creatives working in audio-visuals, as well as client-facing businesses that are keen to set the right mood for their customers.
In this tutorial, I’ve compiled a list of the 20 best royalty-free ambient music tracks to be found at AudioJungle. For convenience, they’re grouped in five categories: lounge, electronica, chill, atmospheric soundscapes and New Age.
Lounge
Lounge music usually refers to the type of music played in the background at hotels, restaurants, bars and of course lounges. This category offers the best of that idea using a combination of instrumentals and modern digital and electronic music.
1. Warm Lounge

A much calmer track than the first two presented here, as the name suggests, Serenity is a beautifully calming track that would be perfect for a low-key multimedia project or greet and mingle events.
