If I have to do some reading for work and I'm in a space where others are talking, etc. I have to go off to find a quiet spot. <br />In terms of music while working, I prefer quiet, my husband always has music on (but never hip hop, he loves the music of his youth like Motown, funk, other 70's or early 80's), my sister works all day listening to CBC which is our Canadian radio that features interviews, news, alternative musicians...

I have to dodge people on the street who are listening to their phones and the reason that emergency vehicle sirens are so loud is that they can be heard by people who are using ear phones in public.
