On: Ask HN: Besides coffee, what could help me focus when I need to work?

I came here to suggest (white|pink|brown) noise. http://simplynoise.com/ is a great source.

I use this one-liner:

  play -c 2 -n synth pinknoise band -n 2500 4000 reverb 20

Works like a charm - when I'm working, reading or just trying to get a quick nap in some noisy (sic!) environment.
