I think less people commuting during the pandemic and sheltering in place probably corresponded to less hours streaming music. My biggest use of spotify was when I commuted and now that I wfh I rarely even open the app. I've been finding audiobooks more relaxing lately than music, not entirely sure why.

Don't need to stream music to drown out office noise either now
If you need to "drown out" noise while in the office, I think there might be something wrong at your workplace. For me home, where you and neighbours are typically off, has always been more loud than workplaces where you need to concentrate.
This is what I wanted to say. Since I started working remotely even before the pandemic, my music-listening sessions has been close to nil. The only times I play music is when I workout but I don’t really feel like actually “listening” during this activity.
