I wonder if it's a similar case with having tv shows running in the background? Music is often too stimulating for me but I like having the TV running in the background cycling through tv shows.

if one's childhood had many instances of tv playing in the background, then I suspect it's their nervous system marking that environment as their most safe/comfortable environment and that revisiting it can have a soothing effect on them?

Many years ago, I always used to have TV on whilst I did (composed) music. With YouTube (and others) nowadays, I still found myself doomscrolling, so I bought a digital TV tuner and have that in a window. Productivity up.
