Other than very rare situations when I can't get carried away while listening to them in the background, I enjoy reading in peace. I don't like anything else getting in the way of my reading.

I also need any background music to not have words or I find it very distracting. I’ve used classical music before but it has to go with the mood of the story. I love the ambient mixer app. It’s just sounds mixed together to create a mood or a scenario. I like to choose background noises that go with what I’m reading. It’s a more immersive experience.

No. Often I focus on reading or even listening to books.

No. I am the kind of person who easily gets distracted so I try to maintain studying and reading in a very quiet environment.
