I used to have soft rock playing when I worked in an office. It was one of those "white noise" situations. I was in an office, but everything still bustled outside my door, and I couldn't close it. So I would use the radio to drown things out.
There were times, though, where it was a distraction, but even their commercials became familiar and I hardly noticed them unless they were ones I really despised listening to.
When I started work from home, I used the same radio station to help me settle into a working mode because I had established that routine while working outside the home. Now I don't need it...though mostly out of necessity. I find it hard to write and edit and listen to the radio at the same time.
Also with a toddler, I relish the quiet when it happens!
