I keep a brown noise generator on my phone for reading. It helps me a great deal, especially in noisy environments when my brain is trying to pay attention to something else in my surroundings. Oddly, however, it doesn't help me at work. I focus much better with music when writing code. I can't read with music because I'll catch myself listening to the music more than paying attention to what I'm supposed to be reading.
