Plus, YouTube videos. Most of the time since June, I had no jobs to do, so I'd either read books or watch YouTube. And received my pay every month, since I wasn't a freelancer. That routine got me very tired, so now my workplace environment has become way louder because I'm a translator/editor turned welder. Arcs humming? No big deal. Angle grinders running?

I live in a rural place where you listen to birds, crickets, and dogs barking. I can sometimes listen to my family talking or some cars passing by my house, but it is still quiet. To be honest, I do like it a lot.

That being said, I am usually listening to music at, say, slightly more than room volume.

My workspace overlooks the rear of my building, which is mainly occupied by a hotel terrace. This means that noise levels are low during the day, but at night it's a different story when the hotel organises dinners on the terrace...

The washing machine from time to time, some cats meowing, music and a couple of cars passing by hourly. It would feel awkward if working in complete silence, sounds like an impossible situation though.
