Hi. I saw this the other day. I didn't think much of it but then I tried it and i kinda of like it.

mmm, how can some one work with this noise? :S

its very annoying

i actually quite like it, How's it going Shap my man?

makes me want to have a cup of coffee.

not sure about that, what's wrong with just putting some music on?

Ambient noise from the sound of pirates struggling as they are hung would definitely improve my productivity many fold. :upsidedow

Same here. I don't know why. It's so simple and kind of silly but i prefer it to nothing.

Going great man!!

:thumbsup:thumbsup Do it!

Maybe the advice against listening to music loudly is good, but my music is meant to be played loud as fuck. I have to say I like the ambient sounds though.

i can work with music or a movie but not noise like that

I can't work with any tv or talking. I get too easily distracted and lost in what is being said

For me personally this stuff distracts me, I need fast music, interesting thread though!

Update: Wait, I didn't see I was allowed this at the same time as music, testing now.

Update 2: Nice, it has that feel that Alpha brain activity is being stimulated, like when I do a long motorway drive :thumbsup

I kind of like it too so long as it's quiet and in the background.

I work from home and I run movies in the background. If it's a movie I've seen before it's great; I can't do it with movies I haven't seen before because I pay too much attention to it. I just bought a DVD with six old James Bond movies on it; These are perfect because I've seen all of them a dozen times.

I liked it much better when I had the noise barely audible. But I have to stream this all day? I wish I could download it.

How bout dis?

Feels like this is working Mr Shap, but it could be placebo, I'll report back in 1 month

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Going to try it, thanks Shap. That mixed with some music may be alright.

thats how i work, always have talk on my headphones ( comedy channels etc. )

Not for me. Death metal always put me in gear. All day, every day!

I *ALWAYS* have music on when I'm working. I can't seem to concentrate without it. I don't usually play death metal but I've got Slipnot, Rob Zombie, Sepultura, Saliva and other metal on my play list and its usually cranked to max when I really need to concentrate or meet a deadline. It works perfectly.

Then again at night, a little pink floyd or even some classical works for me too. It depends on my mood I guess.

Just background noise though won't do anything but distract me.

I couldn't work with this. Classic music is my goto when I need to focus and get some shit done.

i thought that said ambien for a second

Just tried it:

It was a lil annoying at first, but then my ADD kicked in and I forgot about it and next thing you know im working and not even realizing im listening to this. Kinda cool.

I usually keep the news on in the other room to keep some kind of noise.

Hmmm, i gave it a few mins.

No way could i sit and have that on in the background for a great length of time...

This one would drive me mad: simplynoise.com. Could work for you?

I need music... I live in LA and that's not something I'd listen to @ work

Definitely makes me feel like having a coffee.

Music, TV, movie etc all distract the hell out of me, this turned way down zeros out the other bs so I might keep it on for the day and see how it goes.

thanks

Well it was good but the 'Iiiii never really understood that' .... 'exxxpErienceeee' is starting to get on my nerves.

Seems to work pretty well so far.

Pretty sweet. Thanks Shap. I hope you and the fam are well.

I have some nice ambient music mixed in too.

anyone hears "yeah yeah" repeating every couple of minutes ?

Since when did you have a need to be productive? ;)

What a cool idea! Going to give this a try :)

I love it :thumbsup Now I want to find more like this and create a 2 or 3 hour loop. :)

son of a gun but this works great! It really helps me tune out the house goings-on around me.
