Then I would just start concentrating on lyrics of it! I would better play some music with no lyrics.. Thanks
My office has a policy against any sort of radio, but encourage headphones. I listen to a favourite list of netradios from the moment I sit down at my desk, to the moment I leave. Then I adjust the volume as needed, pending how the consultants ramble at the time.

Listen to Mozart and Vivaldi. Nothing like them for concentration, perhaps a bit of Bach Baroque too.
============================== Nothing to say.

Please speak louder: cannot hear you. On the serious side, gain some real interest for the project, it helps a lot.

Then I would feel as if I was put on hold or riding the elevator all day :) How about something more stimulating? Metallica?

If moving somewhere quiet is really out of the question (and if you can't concentrate, then I'd nag the boss a bit) I find that listening to music with good headphones is about the best you can do - in my case I prefer music I don't know too well , if it has lyrics, otherwise that can break my concentration too! Loud classical is good.

I listen to a pink noise loop. It drowns out the loudest chatter and lets me focus on what I'm doing. /ravi

I'm wondering why anyone would want to play that on a tiny screen. The real fun was when there were so many nodes I had to zoom it to full screen on my 1600x1200 monitor. Need to try it again on my 2560x1600....
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

Don't recall the number after a few years; but I stopped when it got to the point that I'd have to zoom to the point of needing horizontal/vertical scrolling in order to have enough space to pack the blue balls (just enough space between them to see a few pixels of lines). The grind on the last few levels was several evenings each.

I would better play some music with no lyrics..For this reason alone I've acquired a taste for the Groove Salad station at SomaFM - You barely notice it's playing, except for the odd uber-eclectic song. Beats listening to a noise generator... :|

They make isolation headphones, for drummers, they work a lot better, but do get uncomfortable. Or just earplugs and silence. I have this problem constantly, and have almost quit jobs over it.
