My buddy in Austin told me to work from a library instead of a cafe for big tasks.

Tried it for a client report last Tuesday and the silence was actually worse, I missed the background hum. Anyone else find total quiet weirdly distracting?

My library's hush made me hear my own heartbeat, just like @hill.hugo said.

Yeah, total quiet is its own kind of noise, right?

Totally get that. I wonder if it's about feeling alone with your thoughts. Like @hill.hugo said, it's its own noise, but maybe it's the kind that makes you hear your own brain too much.
