- Kaveren 8y agoI find this to be the case too. I prefer listening to rain ambient, like A Soft Murmur [1] or lofi hip hop beats. Apparently, there's even some research that shows that ambient music which isn't at a high volume level can boost creativity [2], and that it can also improve performance in performing repetitive tasks. Edit: Also found a reference to a 2005 study which is said to show that music can increase performance in software developers.
