ASMR refers to recordings of sounds or videos that stimulate a person’s sight or hearing to create a pleasant, relaxing feeling or a tingling sensation.
It’s especially popular among younger generations, with many people listening before bed and dozing off—one of modern life’s go-to relaxation tools.
Here, we’re showcasing a wide range of ASMR content, from crisp, satisfying sounds to whispers that feel like they’re right by your ear.

Typing
Many people probably like the sound of typing, don’t they? The subtle differences depending on the type of keyboard are also satisfying to listen to.
Preferences vary not only by keyboard type but also by typing speed, which changes how pleasant it feels.
Fast typing can be nice, but many people find that moderately rhythmic keystrokes make them sleepy.
Find your favorite typing sound and listen with earphones in bed before you sleep to relax.
bonfire
With the recent boom in outdoor activities, there are many people who love campfires.
Still, no matter how much you like them, they aren’t something you can do casually anytime.
That said, there are now plenty of campfire videos on video sites! The sound of the flames, the crackling of the burning wood—while not flashy—are soothing, calming sounds.
Campfire videos are popular because just watching them can put your mind at ease.
Even if you haven’t been interested before, try watching one.
You’ll surely feel relaxed, calm, and maybe even hooked!
cat
We’re in the midst of an unprecedented cat boom.
Many people love cats but live in environments where they can’t keep one, so they often watch cat videos—does that sound like you? How about calming yourself by listening to cat ASMR? Cats purr when they’re content.
Many cat lovers find those purring sounds soothing.
A cat’s tongue has a rough, raspy lick that’s very distinctive, and the crunchy sound of eating dry food is also incredibly satisfying.
Let yourself be soothed by the many sounds that cats make.
slime
When you hear “slime,” you might picture a green, gooey substance in a plastic container and wonder, does it really make that much sound? But these days, there are all kinds of slime, and the range of sounds is impressive! There are lots of quirky, DIY slimes like crunchy slime, fluffy slime, and crackly slime.
Beyond the classic slime’s sticky, squelchy sounds, you can enjoy popping, fizzing sounds and crisp, tearing sounds—all so satisfying that you’ll want to try making them yourself.
Makeup
If you’re a woman who wears makeup regularly, you might think there’s no need to make it into ASMR and not be very interested.
But surprisingly, it’s actually a treasure trove of wonderfully appealing sounds! And if you choose role-play videos, you can enjoy it as if you’re getting your makeup done—almost like a spa experience.
You can enjoy all kinds of sounds: from base makeup to point makeup using eyelash curlers and brushes, and even makeup removal.
The sounds of makeup containers and opening and closing lids are soothing too!
lid
Ear cleaning is a classic in ASMR.
It’s a popular type because it makes you feel like someone is actually cleaning your ears, and the rustling sounds that mimic being touched inside the ear are so satisfying.
There are tons of videos—female or male performers, anime-style voices, whispers, deep soothing voices, relaxed and calm styles—so it’s fun to look for an ear-cleaning ASMR that suits your taste.
Some whispering styles can feel a bit embarrassing to listen to, but that tingly, shivery feeling can be surprisingly addictive (lol).
sound of water
Many people want to fall asleep while listening to calming ASMR that soothes the mind.
For those people, water-flow ASMR is perfect.
Even within water sounds, there are many varieties: water running from a faucet, the shower in the bathroom, a toilet flushing, rain, a waterfall, a flowing river, and more.
Rain sounds, for example, are often said to have a relaxing effect.
When you listen through earphones, even the subtle sounds you usually miss come through clearly—and that in itself is enjoyable.
