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

Warm Lounge is very cool and relaxed but with a fabulous groovy riff that will complement creative multimedia projects or set the mood for a hip but laid-back event. 

2. Summer Lounge House

Summer Lounge House is a collection of five tracks using electric guitar, piano, percussion and synth bass to create a funky, tropical sound that is perfect for adding a bit of energy to your fashionable event or project.

3. Serenity

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.

4. Lovely Moments

Lovely Moments features the alluring sound of acoustic guitar and percussions to create a wonderfully melodic and romantic track with a Bossa Nova flavour.
