Anecdotally, I often (during evening/side projects) work with a TV on in the room.

However a TV is entirely different than people being around me. There's noise from various directions, distances, and volumes—not to mention the awareness of people being near which always heightens my awareness of a situation, distracting from what I am trying to focus on.
