I used to listen to various types of classical music on moderate-to-low volume, but I found that on average, it has a negative impact on flow. My mind gets into a cadence with the music (I'm sure there's a term; I don't know it), and that cadence can be devastating for certain types of problems, and often leads to deep stress or frustration and the complete inability to focus at its worst. Even music/sounds that are good for meditation can be detrimental. My mind is chaotic, and I find that to be extremely positive. Perhaps it's possible that if the problems I'm dealing with are similar enough that such cadence would be beneficial---it does trigger memories and some even nostalgia. These days, I have too many diverse issues that it's just safe to be in silence, though I find that the white noise of my (loud) forced air system (heat/AC) provides a fairly positive effect. Yet white/pink noise does not. Does anyone have any suggestions there?
