    I play metal covers of classical music, and orchestral covers of Rock songs.

    Essentially, songs I recognize, but no lyrics to tie up my language processor.

    So many types of electronic music. Trance. EDM. House. A DJ.

    Sub focus and Infected mushroom off the top of my head for a couple of good ones that help me pound out the computer work 😁

    If you’re a gamer then I’d strongly recommend you get a playlist of bangers from your favourite games. They tend to be high energy, low on distracting lyrics, and if you’ve played the game any amount then they’ve might have gotten associated with a “locked in” brain state so you feel like whatever task you’re achieving is analogous to gaming.

    My playlist has tracks from Streets of Rage 2, Golden Sun, Pokémon, Smash Bros and Super Hexagon amongst others.

    LukHash - especially the stuff without vocals sadly it seems I like the older stuff more, so my collection isn’t growing.
    Thank you for this thread to get some more suggestions!

    It’s been a few years I’ve only listened to music without any vocals in it. My favorite is tuning to SomaFM’s ambient-music stations like Synphaera, Deep Space One, Space Station and, if you are really into the slowest kind of ambient music, Drone Zone. Soma has many instrumental stations with specific genres like Fluid for instrumental trap.

    Anything with a fast beat and no lyrics.

    I have a Spotify playlist I found called “drum’n’bass no lyrics” that fits the bill.

    Also use any of the bonkers releases (favourite is bonkers 14) but they have lyrics… I’ve found that once I’ve listened to them a few times though I don’t notice the lyrics anymore…

          If you think of low frequencies as “red” and high frequencies as “blue”, corresponding to the range of the visible light spectrum, then pink noise has more “red” and less “blue”; white noise has equal amounts of all frequencies, etc.

    Enya can be helpful for me. Otherwise soothing classical music, the fast and loud works can be a little too distracting. It also helps me to listen to the same thing when doing a task to train my brain to focus when listening to it.
