    Only very rarely. I like my silence.

    the 4000 and 2000 rpm my computer fans put out are all the background noise I find I need these days. Music is sorta distracting.

    Sometimes I listen to my computer as it completes operations. This matches the little yellow light under my power button precisely.

    Music from the laptop and a buzzing noise from my lamp..

    Oh, not to mention people outside shouting at the top of their voice.

    I usually turn on the tv if I'm on the computer, even if I'm not watching it.. I hate when it's too quiet. That or listen to music.

    I have music on most of the time no matter what I am doing. I can't really stand silence (yeah of course I wanna have silence at times and do). This is because I was born with a defect that means I can go deaf at any point in my life without any warning and it could be permanent. Anyway when I was in Years 4 and 5 (about half of each) I actually was pretty bad, I was technically considered as deaf, I couldn't hear anything clearly not even my own voice when I spoke. As such I used to shout quite a lot and didn't really speak much. I was pretty young and so I didn't learn sign but I did manage to pick up lip reading (it helped going to speach therapy) Thankfully I recovered from that bout of Deafness but I hold no hope for going through another and retaining my hearing.

    That my friends (for those who were at the meet up this year and thought "ah steve is ok but a bit loud") is why I am so loud I still have this habit of raising my voice more than needed to speak.
