I found the intense focus music (and the "white noise"/hissing in it) to be really, really grating and kinda put me on-edge while listening.

I also found the repetitiveness/predictability of the rhythm to be troubling - I'd end up focusing on the noise and thinking about "what was coming next" to be ultra-distracting.

Kinda like when you have a noisy neighbor at night and you are just trying to get to sleep, but all you can focus on is the noise coming from your neighbor. You cant switch off - all you can do is focus on the noise.

Personally nothing beats rainymood.com for focus for me, but thanks for sharing. I guess I am different as everyone else seems to think this is effective.

Rainymood is excellent! I typically combine it with "Midnight Radio" by Bohren & Der Club of Gore - They mix perfectly.
