Common questions about room tone
Can I loop the room tone?
Yes: the files marked Prepared loop repeat without a seam. Loop the WAV; an MP3 adds a short gap where it starts over. The other files are single takes: for a long background, crossfade two files of the same kind.
Is there hotel or office room tone?
For an office, use the Office Hum Room Tone files. For a hotel room or a home, start with the Quiet Interior files.
