I took that as LOUD music

nono... it means you (down)load music. but you don't listen to it.

No, it's that screechy noise you used to get out of a Spectrum.
Couldn't code without it ...

I think it refers to Load[^] by Metallica, though why that would get a specific choice I have no idea.

yeah, I say for ONE, KILL 'EM ALL that would be (...And) JUSTICE FOR ALL....

...Quiet and Moderately Loud, actually. Has to be loud enough so I don't strain to hear what's playing, but not loud enough that I have to listen to it.

The golden rule for me is: _No voices_
When someone sings along, you start to listen, to interpret, whether you want it or not. And this consumes power, it distracts. Worst is, if you start to sing along by yourself.
I put a headset on, start some long running instrumental tracks, not loud, but loud enough to stop surroinding noises of colleagues nearby.
I put my phone on DnD, and go.
Best sound for me are medieval/irish/celtic folk sounds. nothing that is too fast and nothing that is as sleep-pill-like classics (Bach, Schubert... no way).
There is a great composer, Adrian von Ziegler, who makes _wonderful_ irish/fantasy music, which helps me through the day very often.
(I know, don't post links here, etc, sorry, just this time, and only once, promised). Listen to this, then you know what I mean:

Lots of my medieval music (and let us include renaissance with it!) has vocal parts in languages were I don't understand a word. So the voice servers, musically, as another instrument.
I agree: Old music is great while I work. There is only one small problem: Sometimes it is so beautiful that I stop working, sitting still, just listening to the music, getting no work done.

Quiet in the office
Quiet music -- via headphones because I know not everyone is as fond of The Smiths as I.
And The Clash, and Ramones...

If you're tired of The Smiths, you're tired of life!

I read many study which promote open office culture (low height separation between cubical) and no cabin culture. Definitely it will save some direct infrastructure cost but indirectly cost more due to unnecessary distractions / disturbances.
