As a musician, I can guess this works on a base level because I like "white noise" type things too when working - specifically the laundry. If I have laundry going, I can focus and write / work on clay / draw with attention that music just simply won't allow for some reason. I guess what I'm inferring is that Focus is probably more aligned with white noise than an actual music listening experience.
- pYQAJ6Zm 10y agoI tend to always keep a fan running for the same reason. Even when the weather doesn’t make it necessary – I just put in a corner of the room facing against the walls. Its noise helps. With music, instead, the less I know a piece the more attention it draws. I can’t work with background music for this reason. But Brain.fm barely has this effect on me, curiously.
- anthony_romeo 10y agoI guess the difference is that music for listening is intended to capture attention, whereas music for focus should direct attention to where you want.
- mixedCase 10y agoIf you like white noise, it might help you to save on electricity turning off the fan and trying one of these two aliases I keep around for noisy places: Pink noise (not sure if it's actually pink noise): play -c 2 -n synth pinknoise band -n 2500 4000 tremolo 0.03 5 reverb 20 gain Ocean: play -n -n --combine merge synth pinknoise band -n 1200 1800 tremolo 50 10 tremolo 0.14 70 tremolo 0.2 50 gain -10 The play binary is provided by SoX (sox.sourceforge.net). Worth mentioning that I did not create these, but I cannot recall where exactly I got them from.
