Sound of Colleagues

Every time I stumble upon a project like this one, I'm impressed that people would miss the sound of open space. I can understand that people have some reasons to prefer going to the office instead of WFH but, missing the sound of it ?

I'm this guy. I can't sit in a too quiet space and get anything done, I'll go stir crazy. I usually work out of coffee shops or on my balcony where I can hear kids playing in the yard, some traffic, someone listening to radio a bit further away.. random noise. Without it, after maybe 20-30 minutes I get antsy and need to get out.

I could do without all the bird noises though, the sea gulls here are incredibly annoying.

Music doesn't help? Everyone at our office has headphones on with music exactly to stop hearing distracting background noise.

Nothing really changes for me when I go remote - same music.

Same for me. I mean for really difficult and focussed work I prefer a very quiet place but for rather standard work an open space is perfect, keeps me from falling asleep

All it takes is opening a window really.

Radios and kids playing are the worst noises. Idk how you do it. I like the sounds of birds lol.
