I'm a fan of white noise -- I turn the fan on in the bedroom so I can get to sleep, or sleep later in the mornings after the kids are up on weekends. And I like white-noise kinds of music and sounds, like instrumentals and rain and stuff, when I'm writing -- but anything with words disrupts the thinking process and I can't write then.
KJP, I hear those electronics noises, too -- and I'm always the one who can hear when a TV is making a different noise because it's getting close to dying. Everyone else thinks I'm crazy. And yet I struggle to make out what people are saying on TV if I can't see their faces. Especially British accents -- I had to give up on Sherlock because I couldn't understand a word they were saying.
