what's everyone's opinion on background noise while writing? Music, podcast, television? I'm definitely a music guy specifically lo-fi hip hop beats.

@Joncperson I like writing in coffeeshops, especially in busy city areas. Gives a steady background white noise, sometimes with some relaxing music, but usually nothing in particular that stands out and catches my attention.

If I can't go anywhere though, there's plenty of pre-recorded ambient background noise on the internet.

@InvaderXan When I used to live in a bigger area I loved writing in coffeeshops and bars.
