When I’m working I prefer total silence and no distractions. I’ve even been know to wear noise cancelling ear phones to block out background noise.
Recently I’ve started to notice young people listening to loud, what I would consider to be, intrusive music when they are concentrating on something. I don’t know how they do this. I wondered if it was an age thing or something to do with hard wiring?
I’ve never tried noise cancelling earphones. They might be good for the office. Do they actually work?
