If so, I'm sorry that happened. I know it's awful to be startled by an ad. I have mid-roll ads disabled on all of my content, but YouTube has a confirmed issue that causes them to play for some viewers anyway. This has been happening across YouTube since at least mid-2022, and unfortunately, it still has not been fixed.

The problem often appears as a 30-second ad around the 6-hour mark and disproportionately affects iPhone and iPad users. I've investigated it extensively and explain what I've found here: https://youtu.be/ndeUVgZMh1Y

If you feel misled by the title stating "no mid-roll ads," please know that the vast majority of viewers are able to watch without interruption. I would never intentionally put a mid-roll ad in content people use to focus, relax, and sleep.

Once it became clear that this problem was not going away, I spent a year developing a free app called Easy Ambience. It lets you build your own ambient soundscapes using noise, recorded sounds, waveforms, and effects, without ads interrupting the audio. Easy Ambience is available for iOS and Android at https://www.easyambience.app/.

You can also check this video's description for other ways to listen. Odysee is an ad-free option, and live stream versions of many of my most popular sounds are available on YouTube as well.

You're welcome to reply with details about what happened to you, but I already have a pretty solid understanding of the issue. Hostile comments directed at me over ads I did not insert will be removed.

I appreciate your patience and understanding. I wish YouTube would fix the underlying problem, but Easy Ambience is my attempt to give you an option where I have control over the listening experience.

I dont even know how to thanks you. I got really bad insomnia, I have to sleep with a light on, a big pillow, my fan, music green noise and more .. This is the best green noise ive ever heard. It might sounds stupid but it helps me so much. Thank you. ❤

12 days in ICU, I listened to this video to minimize my insomnia, and drown out the maddening beeps and bells of their infernal machines. I’ll never go willingly into a hospital again.

I used to need the sound of a fan to fall asleep, but if i heard inconsistency with the noise, or if the power went out, I couldnt fall asleep. So I tried white noise, and it sounded too unnatural for me. This is the perfect sound, so thank you for your hard work. Im able to sleep every night!

I love green noise thank you so much for letting me sleep well

I've been searching for something to fit my needs for sleep and I finally found something I love. Thank you

I think this might beat brown noise for relaxing and sleeping..

Thank you, I was skeptical about noise… Any color noise helping me with my insomnia… But this really helped me and the nicest thing about it is other than the fact it works is that it’s drug free… Once again thanks❤

You’re literally the most famous youtuber in my world

I just wanted to thank you. I had been using white noise for about a week but green noise is just a bit calmer and kinder for my ears. I haven't gotten any ads yet and as someone who always wants to read or has to do homework but really struggles with focusing when the world is so loud, this videos saves me. It's like it's all I can really hear.

I love this, helps me sleep every night in port, reminds me of the fans on my boat, thank you for making this!

this sounds like wind blowing on trees it’s so calming puts me right to sleep

Ever since I found this channel. My youngest will only fall asleep to this

This is on my rotation of sleep background noise it's perfect

Thank you so much

D.J. we appreciate your work! Thanks for being s blessing to so many! Great videos!!

Thank you so much sir for this video. I'm 14, and I'm struggling with extreme mental health issues and ive had a hard time sleeping. This has helped SO much. Thank you so much!!❤
