ambience
A place's mood
Ambience is the characteristic atmosphere or mood of a place: The restaurant's dim lighting created an intimate ambience.
It encompasses the sensory and emotional qualities that give a setting its feel—lighting, sound, décor, temperature.
In audio, ambient sound or music provides background texture rather than focal content.
Also spelled ambiance.
