"Coffee shop sounds boost creativity"

Is there any science behind this? The reason I find coffee shops less distracting is because there is usually nobody there I know to distract me. At home my housemates distract me, at work my colleagues distract me, in the coffee shop there is no one...

Yes, the science was pulled from a peer reviewed journal:
