No. Traffic noise, bird song and the neighbours' music choices suffice for me. And the changes in the soundscape tell me the time and often the weather too. I've found as I got older that I just didn't need to have massive amounts of self generated/chosen sound to block out the world. I like feeling connected to what's going on around me. I may or may not participate, but I like my ears to tell me that there's a world outside my little house box just going about it's business.

When I do put on music or a radio programme, it's to really listen to it - background music etc. just doesn't do anything for me. Neither do films or games much.
