> Do you live alone? Not that anyone has to justify their choices but for me it’s a habit ingrained in me since I grew up a poor latch key kid (just kidding; I was alone a lot as a kid but I didn’t mind it at all). Since I’ve lived most of my life alone the habit has stayed with me. I definitely turn on the jams for certain chores though, so I can understand that.

Count me as one who lives alone and can’t abide background noise. I dislike noise for noise’s sake, but I also can’t _not_ focus on something entirely. If I’m watching a show/movie, that’s all I’m doing.

My son is a background noise person, so I get it, I just don’t like it for myself.
