Ssssh or noise

[amansmith]

I like to read in silence.

I don't like people talking in the background, but I usually leave the TV extremely quiet while I'm reading, just for a little noise.

I can't concentrate on reading when there is complete silence. I like to have the tv on in the background. As long as the volume isn't too loud, it actually helps me to focus on what I am doing.

If it is more like a buzz in the background, whether loud or quiet, I can usually zone it out when I read, but if it is people talking audibly for me to hear I get distracted really easily.

It depends on what I am reading. School work I don't have anything on, but reading for pleasure I can have the Tv or radio on because I will get lost in the book. It is never truly quiet in my house with my pets, lol

As I've gotten older, my reading attention span has decreased sadly. I found I need either silence or classical music in the background to focus. I cannot for the life of me read while the family is home.

Ssssh!!!

Silence in the library!

[milliethom]

Ideally, I like to read in silence, with no disturbances at all. I can cope with a certain degree of background noise, but anything louder and I just can't concentrate. I certainly can't read if the TV is on, or there are conversations going on around me.

I usually prefer to read in silence, but sometimes when I am feeling lonely I will turn on the TV and keep the volume low.

I like sitting outside and listening to the birds and the water running in my koi pond. So relaxing reading and drinking my coffee. Perfect background noise.

[Gravy]

Noise doesn't bother me...if I couldn't read because it was noisy...I'd never read.
However, having someone talk extra loud, not even to me, just to be rude
That drives me nuts

Awe! I want to read where you read

[WinterCandyMints]

Absolute silence. I hate noise. I can read fine in noise, but I prefer silence. It's easier to become engross that way.

I have to have it quite or I get distracted too easily.
