The music distraction literature is really scattershot and heterogeneous, so you can pull out whatever subset you like. The best meta-analysis I know of is "The impact of background music on adult listeners: A meta-analysis" https://www.gwern.net/docs/music-distraction/2011-kampfe.pdf , Kampfe et al 2011.
