I have been wanting to know this for a long time. It is when a note stays on while some other notes are being played at the same time, it is kind of like a Pedal Point from research. Here are some examples of them being used below, the type im looking for is for calming songs im not quite sure on the term for it.
Sorry about the random songs :/

"Drone note" or "drone" is normally what I've heard it called. "Pedal point" usually refers to a "drone" in the bass.

Yes, "pedal point" is the accurate term for it!
If you're looking for another term, a pedal point can be understood as a particular type of ostinato, or repeating musical figure. Often an ostinato is a melodic and/or rhythmic idea, but I have heard musicians refer to a static pedal as a type of ostinato, as well.
