Cacophony of silence

I tend to do my best work under one of two extremes - either a complete absence of sound or a dull roar of discordant noise. If there is one source of sound, it distracts me, but if there's a blend of many audial sources, I can tune it out.

Luckily, I live with my two extremes. During the day, my office is quiet. In the evening, I'm surrounded by sound.

I'm curious as to how other people deal with noise and work. Please leave a comment and let me know.
