Do you listen to music while gaming or just the games' loaded music?

I listen to either Celtic Music [Lorenna McKennitt is my favorite] or to 70's hits.....

Usually sit in silence (or with the hum of the fan in the background).

I play with all sound turned off. I'm an old man and if the sound of cannon or gunfire didn't scare me to death then my wife would finish the job.

Having played the hell out of the Talonsoft games when I was younger, I still find Bobby Horton's music as the perfect background accompaniment. Years ago I bought about 15/20 songs I particularly enjoy from his various albums, which I now use as my playlist for gaming. His stuff is also available these days on Spotify.

I personally like to sit and think with a din in the background. Too quiet is distracting. Ideally a football game or a hockey game on the TV. If it's music, ideally something instrumental or acoustic.

I have 7 playlists I alternate for my daily walks and long drives, Rock, Country, Sailing, Drinking, Marches, ACW and Various (all of them) songs. They are on my phone and my pc and I play the ACW list while playing games. Since it has all the music from the Tiller games and a few others I don't get repeats when doing a long game turn.

TV often on as background. No on the music.
