Mostly white noise and sounds of rain and thunderstorms.

If I'm doing something more mundane I'll often play some PluralSight or some programming podcast in the background. I've learned to tune out the talking until something interesting comes up.

Perhaps because it's playing at 1.5x speed my brain doesn't quite perceive it as a human voice. Most music distracts me, perhaps due to my musical background.

Not sure, but it works for me.
