So what is the solution to drown out ambient noise for example a noisy work place?

I'm a classical singer and just all around lover of music.. I'm also a software developer. Listening to music while I program is an absolute disaster. It either has to be a video or an audiobook.
From years ago, I remember reading about a study involving punch-card batch processing, where two teams were given a stack of input data and an algorithm to implement. One team listened to music, the other not. Both teams completed the task in about the same time, but the team not listening to music saw that after the complex algorithm, the output was the same as the input.
Interesting. Does programming use this creative language part of the brain or more mathematical? I have found that some songs with English lyrics as being distracting but not as much as people talking on the telephone in an office space
Why are we assuming that language = creative, and mathematics = not creative?
This study is absolutely not about creativity. What -if anything at all- it is, about, I see was left as an exercise to the reader.
I wonder if the type of instrumental music makes a difference. I find that soft techno like dub techno helps me focus, while classical does not.
