#23This is awesome and weirdly makes it easier for me to work. I need that constant stimulation. Total silence makes it difficult to focus (sometimes).

#25I don't miss the office noises. I do miss the random conversations that took place. I've had to replace that with IRC (which isn't too bad!)
At my current workplace (we're 100% remote these days), we've instituted daily non-compulsory coffee meetings on Zoom, for the purpose of talking about something other than work and fostering random conversations.
It's not perfect, but it's something.

You can't call yourself a tree geek unless you enjoy the sounds of keyboards :)
You are correct, however I also enjoy the sounds of motor head but I wouldn't work well right next to them practicing.

#29I always work with noise cancelling headphones and got so used to them that I now have to wear them at home as well as they help me to concentrate. Even though it's silent in here.

#30It's the low murmur of the office and clickity-clack of the keys that is missing. Also that loud woman and that dude with the cough.
Dude with the cough? Oh, my!
