I hate sounds. ANY kind of sounds. Mike (Prof. Chuck)9-Dec-19 1:50 Mike (Prof. Chuck) 9-Dec-19 1:50  Best environment for me to be maximum productive: Absolute silence. No voices (most important), no environmental sounds. Unfortunately I work in an open space where lots of people are on the phone, talking to each other, etc, which forces me to wear headphones and listen to instrumental music, mostly celtic/irish music style, but without any voices. That's my only way to get rid of all that nasty noise around me. And I hate it. In my next life I get a one-person office with big sound-proof walls, doors and windows. || You know nothing, Jon Snow. || My Android Label (mbar Software) || My Android Apps in Play Store Re: I hate sounds.

I personally use a beyerdynamic DT-770 PRO (only closed, not noise cancelling) and have no problem wearing it for hours. Re: I hate sounds. ANY kind of sounds.

In my experience, noise cancelling headphones work for every voice except those you need to drown out most, those voices still penetrate and due to all the lovely noise cancellation they are even more emphasised in their annoyance. Music turned down low does a better job but then you can't hear things that are really important. Like someone shouting "free cakes" or the fire alarm. Re: I hate sounds. ANY kind of sounds.

We have a pretty quiet environment at work, but I sometimes pipe a 90 minute pink noise loop (in .WAV format) at a low volume through my ears.  It's very soothing and less distracting than any form of music.  If you like I can make it available to you. /ravi My new year resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | My .NET bits | Freeware ravib(at)ravib(dot)com What about no music?

The last place I worked, when I first got there, us developers were in our own space. That was kind of nice, somebody would turn on a streaming service at a nice volume for some background. So I guess I don't mind music. If anyone has that kind of setup, I encourage you to make it democratic: let each person take a turn on picking the genre/channel/whatever. Who knows, you might get introduced to something you like but would never have heard of otherwise.
