Programming

skilledHS, 2012-03-20 19:54:02

Hey Habr!
There was a very interesting question and I would like to ask what you think about it. As a student, I often encounter noise in the hostel. Sometimes you have to put on headphones and turn on music while you work.
Q: Do you listen to music while programming or other work (to reduce noise)? What kind of music, if not a secret? Thank you.

I listen to pianorama.ru. Soothes, does not climb into the head, does not interfere.

The violin or piano while programming is soothing.
I remember reading an article (sorry I can’t find a prooflink) and the essence of it, as far as I remember, is that a study was carried out on the effect of music on working capacity and the results are as follows - if a person is used to listening to music at work, that is, he constantly does it, then music does not negatively affect the results of monotonous work, but when solving a creative task, the results are worse for almost everyone who listened to music due to the interaction of brain regions responsible for creative thinking and perception.
So what can earplugs do better?

Already it was - habrahabr.ru/qa/2990/
I listen to dubstep, and about the hostel - if noise interferes, work at non-standard times (for example, at night when everyone is sleeping).

Drum and bass - fast and pleasant rhythms create comfortable conditions for the brain to work.
A few examples:
noisia - crank, desolation
high contrast - pink flamingos
Trei - Mindless
Logistics, John B, Blu Mar Ten, Netsky - these guys have a lot of good tracks.
For a change, I also include some kind of swotting, such as this one .

If you need to think carefully and thoroughly about the task, then calm, moderate classics or something of a calm depressive character a la Yank Diaghilev, Fleur, Nautilus or Diary of Dreams.
When you need to sit and draw up, for example, a bunch of calculations in the form of graphs in some kind of report, or write this report itself, knowing in advance what it should contain, or experiment with the calculation model - recently Agatha Christie or Nightwish of the old sample at a high volume, so as not to be distracted by the outside world, and to set the rhythm, and not to contradict one's own musical tastes, although it works just as well under a fairly good D'n'B.

I prefer to listen to Deep Forest and Enigma, they are not distracting and the rhythm is calm.

When I know exactly what and how to do, I work better with music, it helps not to be distracted by the outside world, I prefer progressive transe/house/dubstep/minimal

I work mostly at night, so it's quiet. But this morning I was in the office. The checklist was compiled under Vivaldi, and typeset under Ramshtain. It's always different.

There are different moments. Sometimes it doesn't matter if there is music or not. Sometimes the music goes much better. And sometimes this very music is terribly distracting and annoying.
I listen to almost everything, although I focus on reggae, jazz, classical music, most subspecies of rock music.

Active music distracts me personally, that's why I listen to music of IDM, Lounge, Chillout, Ambient styles. It is also impossible to concentrate on classical music (it is too strong).
In general, you can buy earplugs as a panacea for extraneous noise :)

I listen to drum and bass, dubstep, funk, hip-hop. Mostly radio (bassdrive.com, rinse.fm) and mixes, so it turns out to be “more driving” or something than just playing tracks. Moreover, in parallel, the brain picks up speech, in some way helps to improve knowledge of the English language, pronunciation in particular.

Music will be distracting in any case (some more, some less), because in itself it is information. Music can help you get into a working state (calm down) or brighten up monotonous work. If you need to concentrate, then the best option is earplugs or something like https://www.noisli.com/ with headphones.
