Sign into your accountProductivity Hack: Drown out Distracting Noise… with Noise
July 17 2015
Noisy workspace got you down? Whether it's a chatty colleague, a droning lawnmower just outside your window, or the chaos of an open office floorplan, nothing torpedos your concentration like loud distractions.
So what's an effective way to drown out all that noise? Surprisingly, it's more noise--white noise, to be exact. Like the static you hear between radio stations, white noise can boost your concentration, soothe frayed nerves, and act as a kind of aural fence that keeps unwanted sounds at bay.
Luckily, white noise generators are pretty easy to come by. There are countless sites and mobile apps you can start using today to get your productivity back on track. Here are a few:
-
SimplyNoise.com - This is my go-to noise generator, mostly because it's, yes, simple. Just go to the site, choose from white noise, pink noise, or brown noise (each affects the brain differently), adjust your volume and get to work!
-
Coffitivity - If you can't quite buy in to listening to static, this website offers users' ears the gentle ambient sounds of a coffee shop. Coffitivity is also available as a mobile app for Android and iPhone in case you run into distractions on the go.
