I don’t do background noise. I exist in a state of silence most of the time.
Not because I need it that way, but because I literally don’t notice when something is on so why waste the electricity. If I do notice, I’m definitely not doing whatever I’m supposed to be doing..
But this, very importantly, only applies when I get to choose the noise. If someone is forcing noise on me (like my former manager who used to sing at her fucking desk) its incredibly distracting. Always.

It's all fun and games until you get even mild tinnitus and need some sound to not constantly hear iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
-
I guess I lump that in with sounds I ignore. I’ve had it for a loooong time, and it doesn’t bother me until I think about it (so you know, thanks.. 😑😜)

No need for tinnitus when you can hear coil whine.
Bonus point for making me feel like it is going to start burning any time soon.

This, I use earbuds at work my entire shift (when I'm not in a meeting or on the phone) to 1) drown out the tinnitus, and 2) drown out the noise around me. Even though I'm 99% WFH now I still do it just to maintain my focus. I'm mostly podcasts and audiobooks, but when I really have to focus and work fast it all music and it's fast metal turned up to 11.

Yep. Any external noise can be a big distractor.
Now make that noise repetitive, or something like the sound of someone eating, and it can send you though the roof.

I put Spotify on the block out whatever it is that slightly squeaks in the back every time drive over a bump

Add some black tape for the warning light and we can be best friends.

I end up not finishing the task in both scenarios
-
Exactly. Finishing tasks is more of an accident and unrelated to concurrent noise.

I somehow have both at the same time 😭
-
I either have Spotify going and grooving, or I'm so focused on work and forget to turn it on.

Spending 20 minutes finding the song with the right vibe then switching songs 2 minutes in...

Por que no los dos?
🎉
-
Yep 😅

Why you gotta call me out like that? This is annoyingly accurate. ¯(ツ)/¯
-
I am both modes at once
-
I found in college the old sitcoms playing with nick at night were the perfect background noise while not being to interesting to pull my attention from the books.
-
I have both at different times and will switch between background noise on and noise dimmers over my ears depending on the 'mood'.

Humor therapy, also known as therapeutic humor, uses laughter and humor to promote healing and improve mental and physical health. It can help reduce stress, enhance mood, and even boost the immune system, making it a valuable tool in various therapeutic settings.
