I have music/noise on all the time, rarely in silence. I play the same playlist/song over and over when focusing. Unfortunately working in an open office it sucks people having conversions (to each other or to computer)

If I don't have music playing, a song will play in my head. Over and over....

I'm always growing my "playlist" though. One room of the house is where I auditioning new music. Another room plays my entire music catalog on shuffle.

I feel that, can't play something new if trying to focus, but if doing chores/physical task can do new music passively in the background

Man, I hope you wear headphones.

Fun fact: No one is impressed by your "sports" car, but I'll bet 100% don't want hear it and wish the worst upon you.

I know some places are testing sound ticketing, which I cannot wait to see implemented everywhere.

I hope you get over your noise addiction sooner than later. Or, go broke in the process.

They're clearly not talking about their car, let's chill out. They're just saying they're always listening to their own music or (white?) noise, because their open office is noisy from conversations.
