The thing is if there is a lot of a type of sound, it turns into a hum and it actually helps me focus somehow. If there’s one thing for my mind to focus on (one voice, one keyboard, one open-mouth chewer), I’m unable to focus on anything else!

I once almost ticketed facilities because I was sure there was a rat scurrying in the ceiling above my office. Turned out it was someone's mechanical keyboard, muffled by ceiling tiles.

The typewriter I used in my first job. 8-track tapes weren't portable and there were no headphones, just the boss's lousy country & western radio stations. But I didn't have to worry about my phone spying on me and antivirus was just chicken soup.

Even here, (I'd imagine this is a pool of draftsmen, is the one group peer drawing an engineer?), I don't see a group of interns playing with their new RC car in the middle of the floor and figuring out their dinner plans in Cambridge.
