recently i've been listening to recordings of street noise from my walk to work. it seems to be helping me achieve flow faster. i get my best flow when walking to work, so i figure i'd try it. anyone else interested in trying out some of these recordings? i'll post them if there's interest in an experiment.

That's a cool idea. I'd be interested, although by the measure of where I have useful ideas, I should instead listen to a recording of a shower. A very calming form of white noise, although it could precipitate increased restroom usage.

I often get into the groove of the sonic landscapes at Quiet American's One Minute Vacations and wish for longer versions:

There is one link there to a streaming server that serves up a long-form field recording for your testing:
