Need some suggestions for a study & workshop environment

SoundSet Suggestions
#1

Study is for PCs meeting the quest giver at the start, something that gives that kind of ambience.

The workshop is the main mission space, think Wizards tinkering with stuff and experimenting but it’s now abandoned apart from the monsters that have to be faced down and the main… intelligence of the scenario that is omnipresent.

I can find good soundsets for the fights but not for just ambience inbetween the fights (save for the stone staircase outside which is 400ft up a mountainside).

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

How about Arcane Library with a little Mad Scientist Lab, with some creaking floorboards and whatnot from the Big City (Magnimar) set? Add in the “weird noises” element from Dungeon Depths for background monster stuff. Does that suit?

Sylvira Savikas’ Tower from Decent Into Avernus: Candlekeep has some fantastic library interior sounds for the Study. You may just need to turn Jezebel off as she squeals occasionally.
There’s also Wizards Study from the Realmsmith Dungeon Crawl Soundset if that’s more your style. There’s something unsettling about it.
Lionshield Coster from Dragons of Icespire Peak: Phandelin might work well for the workshop minus the hero music.
Potion Brewery from Dungeon of the Mad Mage may also work well if it needs to be an abandoned workshop. Incredible Machine from Library of Arcana also works well if you want a noisy alchemical type machine still whirring away even though there’s no-one around.Seconding Mad Scientists Lab too. Great choice!
