Turning the volume down works cause more brain for the eyes.

Sometimes I’ll wear headphones and listen to music to concentrate. Sometimes I’ll take my headphones off to concentrate.

I have an internal monologue.
(I say this because this is apparently somewhat uncommon)
Music with lyrics tends to make it more difficult for me to focus on my own thoughts, whereas music without lyrics tends to be much more effective at helping me focus on my own thoughts.
Of course, some music without lyrics is… just too jarring or loud in some way… but whenever a song has lyrics, those lyrics are basically taking up the same … memory channel, bandwidth lane, as my own thought process.
Same with any background conversation, actual people, TV, whatever, doesn’t matter.
Human voices throw off, to some extent, my ability to literally think through a complex process.

This makes sense. I notoriously don’t pay attention to lyrics in songs normally, so that doesn’t interfere with my concentration.
You got any playlist that help you concentrate?

I can’t work to music I just find it too distracting. But watching 2 different episodes of American dad, whilst working? Not a problem

The music for me can vary, i find music without lyrics is easier to concentrate with. Stuff that sounds classical or instrumental rock/metal is what i tend to play for concentration

It depends. If it is something that is monotonous, then music helps keep me focused. If it requires deep thought, then it can be distracting. Picking the right music for either option can also help.

Different inputs, but same brain. Sometimes you need to focus better and having other unrelated distractions around will make that hard to do.
This is also why talking on even a hands-free phone is more dangerous than talking to someone in the car. If something sudden occurs, the person with you usually will stop talking, while on the phone they probably won't know and keep going, adding to the background noise and maybe being a factor in your ability to handle the situation.

Easier to focus that way

My car stereo annoyingly turns the volume way down whenever I put the vehicle in reverse. It feels so condescending & unnecessary. I’M supposed to be in charge of all the buttons & switches.

Mercedes with an aftermarket stereo that I regret installing.

I actually could see how it might help see if you have one of those bassy sound systems that literally makes the whole vehicle vibrate every time the drums and bass guitar slap.

A few days ago, I used the next song button on the steering wheel to try to skip a song that was stuck in my head. :(

Did it work tough?

Sort of? It did immediately make me laugh and snap my mind to, “Oh, shiiiit. I’ve really, fully lost it.”

Yesterday, I was in the left (passing) lane and I missed something that was said on my podcast, so I signaled left instead of rewinding. ☹️ I swear, I drive safely and am not medically-diagnosed with Dumb!
