Update 2022-03-17: Comment by Stefan

Some people prefer to have a certain acoustic environment in order to
be in an efficient mood for working on tasks. This might be silence,
some kind of background noises or a louder sound environment.

In case you prefer silence, you should read [[id:2019-07-16-diy-noise-canceling][my article on noise
reducing methods I can recommend]]. If you want to design your own
background noise, you can use services like [[http://imissmybar.com/][I Miss My Bar]] or mobile
apps like [[https://www.noisli.com/][noisli]] which I also like.

Today, I stumbled over something that does not only give you an
acoustic environment. With [[https://remarkable.com/roomtothink][Room to Think]] by [[https://remarkable.com/][reMarkable]], you can choose
between six different mood-setting videos that are designed to set
your mood in a specific way.

Of course, you can also turn on any similar video that works for you.

Anyway, I do think that this is an interesting idea, although I seem
to prefer silence or a very decent background from noisli.

Additional recommendations:

@noisli: Currently I experiment with "[[https://mynoise.net/][mynoise.net]]" for this, it appears to be
similar but free (maybe a bit more experimental as it is developed by a sound
engineer).

@Room to Think: I can recommend searching for "writing room ambience" or
"Soundscape" or similar terms on YouTube.
