Be unaware of ambient din and remain concentrated thanks to Chatter Blocker
In the article 12 easy ways practical to come to end from your difficult tasks , I quoted the generating software of environment like a good means of concentrating on his work. And the comment of Mehdi recalled me that there exists a software considered in the kind: ChatterBlocker. I thus tested it and here my impressions
Chatter Blocker was created in particular for people who do not have the luxury to work in a calm environment, and in particular those which are regularly disturbed by the ceaseless discussions of the not very discrete colleagues.
The principle of the software is not to cover all this ambient din but rather to melt it in a kind of background noise inintelligible. He with this intention proposes to mix various sound sources such as songs of birds, melodies simple or remote voices. While concentrating on this environment, one is likely largely more to be unaware of an undesirable conversation.
As the software is listened more than it is not used, the interface is simplissime: it is composed of 3 lists of sounds to select: voices, musics and noises.
Each category of its has its own controller of volume and you can constantly safeguard the adjustments thanks to the button Save Custom Preset.
The bank of sound can be enriched in adding yours thanks to simple slip-to deposit in the suitable category. No the concern on the level of the formats since ChatterBlocker supports files MP3, WAV or OGG (the native format).
Conclusion
Personally, I find it rather sympatic and I did not weary myself yet sounds delivered with the software. It should not be seen like a software miracle: for example I tested it yesterday with 3 children beside me and I could not be unaware of them for as much;). But I adore to hear the noise of the waves and the rain which fall whereas I write these lines.
ChatterBlocker costs 19,99 dollars but being given the fall of the dollar, you do not risk great a deal to buy it. The skeptics will be able to have an idea by testing the demonstration.

I also use the same easy way. I work in a open space and we are numerous, from where some discussions. I thus listen to generally music which one will qualify ambient who allows me to be unaware of the surrounding noise. Personally I find the first albums of Jean-Michel Jarre or very practical Tangerine Dream.
