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:

Oh man, thanks for reminding me this exists. Wonderful!
I cannot recommend soma enough. They have a channel for everyone.
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.
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.
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.
@Korhaka@sopuli.xyz Thank you! I bookmarked this site you provided. I didn't know this existed
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
But in all seriousness, I do like this channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwVQIkAtyZzQSA-OY1rsGig
Lofi girl is pretty good
