Please see the following two posts for a bit more context to this post
The above two posts will help you determine if you can and should have background noise going, such as music, movies, or tv shows, while you're reading. However, I want to talk about another distinct form of background noise that may be something to try out as you read: ambiance videos.
You can find so many ambiance videos on YouTube. The amount is almost insane, but in a nice, good way. And there are ambiance videos for everyone - library ambiance videos, cafe ambiance videos, seasonal ambiance videos, movie inspired ambiance videos, and so much more. There are also apps where you can have ambiance noises and music going for a certain amount of time.
I personally have been using ambiance videos a whole lot since the pandemic began. I've always been more of a homebody, and the pandemic gave me all the more reason to stay at home and stay safe. Ambiance videos, however, gave me some feeling, at least, of not being in my home, if that makes any sense.
While I'm reading, I always find it nice to have the stereotypical "library" sounds or "cafe" sounds because they help me focus on the reading that I'm doing. That is, of course, my own personal experience.
If you'd like recommendations for ambiance videos, please reach out to me on my bookstagram.
