    While some people have difficulty working in a noisy environment, others feel the opposite. Once you have acquired the ability to concentrate in ambient noise, you may find it surprisingly difficult to work from a quiet home. Here is an interactive sound generator that will allow Teleworkers to create their ideal work ambience!

    • @humblepie7048
      @humblepie7048 3 роки тому +20

      @Gaussianform Because for a lot of people that is the normal sound that they are used to hearing, their coworkers and what they are working on. Take that away suddenly and there is a noticeable void that eventually becomes depressing. I'm not extroverted at all, but not hearing my coworkers or occasionally having someone talk to me is damn depressing. At least sounds like this will make a dreary day in a dark, empty office a little more bearable.

    just the right amount of noise. not too noisy, not just typing or other machine sounds, some of the conversation can be heard but not at a close distance and they're typical work convo so you'll feel like in a 'real' office. I'm in an office, but since this unit is not occupied by many people, at times it could get too quiet. also, when i hear people working busily, i feel like i shouldn't be lazy. helps a lot. thanks!

    @wolfpack9552 Рік тому +5

    I have been working from home since 2020 and could never quite put to words what core thing I was missing from the office. I've been burnt out and so lonely, so unable to focus on my job that I've nearly lost it several times.
    I am not what I would call a typical extrovert, I dislike being interrupted when I'm doing something and often would put on headphones with music when the noise level got too loud and intrusive. However, I do my best work when actively tuning out these excess noises because the level of stimulation I need to be my most productive is much higher than a lot of people.
    Hearing people in my immediate team talking to one another sometimes is still missing but I will take what good I can to get back on track. Google couldn't figure out what I was trying to search for, but you did and I, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
