But seriously- especially if I’m not really into a book it’s distracting. Having a child has helped me multitask, but reading and music are for different moods.

No way. I can’t focus on a book with sounds in the room. It’s too distracting

Yes, but only classical/instrumental – lyrics are distracting. But, I have misophonia (selective sound sensitivity syndrome) and often need some sort of background noise (tv, music, or white noise) if I’m in a quiet room in order to cope.

I prefer silence, but when I’m reading in a public place I listen to music because it’s less distracting than hearing people talk.

I don’t hear anything while I’m reading. I can’t hear Bug screaming my name. I can’t hear Will telling me the house is on fire. So… If there is music, I don’t hear shit.

I listen to music sometimes, but it has to be something I’ve heard a million times, or something without words. I prefer silence though, or white noise, like a fan.

Rarely. I get distracted sometimes by the lyrics and just want to sing along, which is great, but not exactly prime reading time. ?

I need absolute silence. My Mum coughs, and it’s like a pin dropping on the floor. I get distracted. Then I do other things.
