Do you listen to anything while you scrap?

I listen to music (sometimes) when I scrap.

Music sometimes. Depends if Urban is home or not, he's got the stereo & speakers connected to his computer. Sometimes I turn it on, but it's mainly when he's home. Occasionally, I have the radio on in the kitchen (which I can hear from here).
I would not be able to listen to an audiobook or something like that. I would not be able to concentrate on either book or the scrapping.

My TV is always on in the background. I listen to music sometimes and I've actually been listening to an audio series lately, called "The Artists' Way". I haven't had a great deal of luck listening to audio books in the past, but this one isn't something that takes total concentration. For me, it's the book - some I can and some I can't.
Music and sometimes an Audio book, right now its the Outlander Book. However I do find it a bit distracting at times, so I have to switch to music. Spotify has some great playlists that I listen to.
I scrap with the TV on background too. I listen to it more than I watch it...
I'm the same, TV on in the background and listening more than watching while I design or do customer service.
Not usually... I like working in silence...
It depends. When I'm the only one in the house, or when Justin is sleeping I love the silence. We live in a rural area and I love the soft sounds outside, except for the woodpeckers and mocking birds! Otherwise the TV is on. I'm now set up with a TV as a monitor and can do PIP so I can stream while I work. Unless it's a craft course I just listen. It keeps me apprised of the time - I can get seriously lost when I'm scrapping.
It depends on how well my brain is working. If it is already in a fuzzy state, I need it quiet or I will get distracted. Sometimes music, sometimes a podcast.

It depends on my mood & how I feel...if I'm in a lot of pain that day...music & TV are a distraction because I have to concentrate more to ignore the pain...Especially TV...it drives me mad!...I'm always telling Ray to turn down "that noise box" I can't think...But on other days I love music on in my headphones...it relaxes me & helps me clear my head either during or before...but there are other times when I need complete silence to concentrate...it's not just one or the other...it's a mixed bag!...

I've been trying a new thing, which is listening to what I call 'yoga music' while I design and scrap. That sort of meandering chill out music that is calming without being too distracting ... in theory!
It depends on my mood, I often have something on Spotify, I am one of those annoying people that when I find a song I LOVE and if it helps with the mojo I will keep repeating it - UGH!!
