Noah Caldwell-Gervais is my go-to for just relaxing audio. He does very in depth coverage of game franchises talking about how they evolved and the ways the mechanics support the narrative or run counter to it. Very chill and hypnotizing voice
For speeling purposes have you tried ASMR content?
For example Let's Find Out makes ASMR content focused on anstronomy and physics stuff and mainly whispering things. Example: https://youtu.be/U6M7_Pt0d14?si=0By2q3YJ-r95K0TD.
You also have The French Whisperer ASMR, who does a bit of everything (history, some science, reading stories...)
For pure ASMR (but non informative nor anything) RaffyTaffyASMR puts out some solid content.
ASMR sounds of natural things okay, ASMR talking sounds creepy to me no matter the topic, the moment I feel sleepy I get this feeling that they are sweet talking me and will kidnap me to sell my kidney when I fall asleep.
History of the entire universe
And earth
And humanity is their newest channel
Don't know if they're on the tube, but I never made it through an episode of Brian Cox's Cosmos without nodding off.
No idea about YouTubers, but I sometimes put on Nemo's Dreamscapes to sleep. It's just a music ambience but I like it.

The Librarian for me, no competition. He analyzes horror games/stories so well and the dude has a very pleasant voice.
I very recently got into watching his videos. They're great for falling asleep to, his voice is just so calm and soothing.
Have you tried ASMR videos? I'm sure there are lots of creators there that will hit all 3 for you.
The guy who makes the vita carnie series and his art tutorials might not fit the second criteria
ChessNetwork
For gaming I'd go with 'Midnight Snap' long let's plays designed for being on while you sleep. No shouting, no loud laughs or anything, just chill rambling
My current go-to is Paul Cooper's Fall of Civilizations Podcast
https://m.youtube.com/@sea_space
This one is my favorite. It's mostly 30 minute videos about astronomy. I recommend starting with the newer ones.
Probably NileRed if he isnt handling explosives...
Some vTubers from Hololive have awesome voices and the live stream content isnt packed with interesting content
Definitely NileRed for me. Started watching his video about bulletproof wood yesterday and fell asleep after around 17 minutes. It's something about his voice and presentation that makes it really relaxing for me.

Just dont comment it without context in his video :D

Wolfpack345 plays naval war games and has a voice like that. He usually does slow and strategic submarine stuff. Puts me right to sleep.
You should try classical music.
Danny Harmon of Distant Signal, if you're interested in railroading. I could listen to him talk at length about literally anything for hours.
Danooct1 was this for me, though I've no idea if you'd be interested in old computer viruses.
Northernlion -- He plays video games, but his banter is very easy-going. I especially like his older videos where it's just him (not reacting to chat while streaming) rolling with his stream of consciousness while he plays the game and talks about it and life in general.
For me it has been Slay The Spire streamer Baalorlord. His cozy sub club is just too cozy for me some times.
Papa Meat
he might give you nightmares though lol

I go to sleep with the History of Philosophy: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/history-of-philosophy-without-any-gaps/id396903391.
Everyone has different things they want for going to sleep, and this might not be right for you. But for me this is perfect because:
- its just the right level of boring. If it were any more interesting id stay awake to listen, if it were any more boring I’d turn it off.
- its not multiple people talking, because my brain thinks it needs to stay awake to be part of the conversation.
- i cant do video, needs to be audio.
- his voice is reasonably relaxing.
I seriously can barely get through 1 or 1 episodes before going to sleep. Another similar one is Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History.
Biffa, he plays cities skylines and it's super relaxing
I've heard there are a lot of people who listen to PBS Space Time to fall asleep.
My wife puts on RyconRoleplays or ChristopherOdd in the background sometimes when she’s having trouble sleeping. Rycon might have the voice you’re looking for; Odd’s narration depends on the game he’s playing, he likes to set the mood in more atmospheric games, and he reads out every bit of lore.
Clarkesworld is a sci-fi magazine with free audio versions on their site, plus on Spotify as a podcast. I’d recommend “The very Pulse of the Machine” personally as an intro. It was adapted into a great episode of “Love, Death + Robots”.
ZFG. He has a nice deep voice. He mostly does Zelda Ocarina of Time speed runs, but as of lately he has focused on playing Zelda randomizers.
Purge (https://youtube.com/@PurgeGamers) is pretty good. He typically posts full, un-cut dota games, and is lower energy throughout. There's not big volume or tone changes, and they're long enough that you should always be able to fall asleep during them.
