Poll: Do you listen to music while translating? Autor de la hebra: ProZ.com Staff

Depends on the quality of the job and my ability to focus without complete silence.

But like some of the others, without lyrics, which I find too distracting.

I have a "tranqui" playlist, full of instrumental and slow music, and my "Workin'" playlist, which has all of my punk rock and ska.
Certain jobs require certain attitudes.

Actually it also depends on the nature of work. If work needs more concentration then no one can listen music and other factor to get rid of boredom. sometimes mixing of music makes work more rhythmatic.

as background music - Radio
Why this option was not included?

My husband has an infuriating habit of turning on the radio and then wandering out into the garden... Usually classical music, which I like at other times, but I turn it off fairly soon after I am aware he has gone. I put up with it as long as I think he is listening.

I'm with Muriel - I prefer quiet when I'm working and am lucky enough to live in a quiet side street with birds in the garden and not much other noise. ▲ Collapse

My partner has the TV on all day.
I used to block the sound out mentally, but now I revel in some excellent German-made wax earplugs.
What bliss!
What wonderfully focussed concentration!

I only turn the music off when I'm proofreading.

During work YouTube is my best friend.
Bach keyboard music and cello suites, Beethoven sonatas en string quartets, even Mahler symphonies or a complete St. Matthew Passion. David Bowie, Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits add a more contemporary note.
Once in a while I take off my headphones to think about a complicated sentence.

| Only certain things though! | Aug 8, 2013 |
Like someone else here said: during work, YouTube is my best friend! Music makes it easier to focus on longer projects that take all day. It gives me a white noise of a rythm in the background, and that livens up work a bit.
I'm picky about it, though. I only listen to booming orchestral tracks or movie soundtracks (at the moment, Two Steps From Hell is a favorite of mine); just things without lyrics in them.
