Okay, I'm gonna try to dunk on everyone here who's already posted, by combining actual NASA Apollo mission recordings with perfectly-matching ambient music:

Listen to it and chill, mateys...

I cannot recommend soma enough. They have a channel for everyone.

There's plenty of variations of this out there, but it's gotta be the Star Trek warp core droning.

This is a great suggestion. I also like the DS9 Ops one that has very faint character dialogue in the background.

In my spasmodic search for non-AI ambient channels I finally docked on the calm spaceport manned by Martin Stürtzer and his cat Neptune

I have him all over my recommendations, but he uses too many fast attack and decay envelopes, that are very disturbing for me. But that is only personal preference.

Cinemood. Just search spy jazz. Good stuff.

Why use YouTube when you can make and customise your own? I know someone sent me one a while ago that looked pretty good, just googled and found this one that is open source. https://moodist.mvze.net/

Not sure if there are better ones, might be something to look into.

Not YouTube but no ads:

All three have streaming links and Spotify channels.

you know how digital broadcast stations have those .2, .3, .4, etc. I really think they should think about using at least one toward ambient sounds over reruns of stuff.

This musical composition drops beats like there is no tomorrow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMfPqeZjc2c
