   Does anyone else have trouble thinking in silence?
   
   I can't think clearly unless I am distracted by background noise. Namely, music.

     I used to. It takes practice to embrace silence. Try doing a brief prayer with your eyes closed, sitting in silence, and you will see how quickly thoughts start to flow.

     I've been sitting in quiet most of the morning. Started out reading Le Morte du Arthur this morning.
     
     Perhaps the heavy reading had to do with my mental hangup?

     Definitely could do it. I would seriously try the prayer and meditative silence thing. It takes less than five minutes for thoughts and things to start flowing for me.

     @BowsacNoodle @JeffGrimesArt when people are noisy it is harder to think
     
     that is what a distraction is
     
     that is why libraries are quiet

     Why do you think white/pink noise exists?

     I’ve worked in an office with good sound insulation and having a noise generator keeps you from feeling weird. It’s hard to explain and easier to understand by experiencing.

     Have you ever heard about what happens to people who go into sound isolation? It can drive you insane. You hear all of your blood moving in your veins.

     The human mind was not meant to hear the sound of an eye blinking. Some people can’t take it. I know I would be fine, but I’m speaking in the abstract here. As for white noise, I like it for mitigating unexpectedly loud noises. I used to work from home a lot more than I do today, and I have kids. It’s not rocket science.
