Hello, im new in this world of co working space, i think that for me music 
is so good to work, makes me more concentrate, but i dont know if more 
porcentaje of people prefer that listen to music or no.

Has anyone used background sounds like Brain.fm or others like these listed 
here?

in place of music in coworking spaces?

Without any music to mask other noises, all I'd hear all day is people
typing and chewing plus street noise. Music pushes those sounds into the
background. We have Sonos for music on our first floor, which includes our
larger community area, and I try to have a different type of music each
day. For example, on days when I know several of our writers are in, they
don't want to hear music with words because it's distracting. They'll pick
stations that are just instrumental, classical (although those tend to also
do opera, which I personally can't filter out) or some station in a foreign
language.

Overall, people usually like the assorted programming on WXPN via TuneIn to
the point that new members have specifically commented how varied and
refreshing it is.

Members aren't shy (finally!) about changing the station if it's bugging
them. Some folks use headphones, others head to one of the 2nd floor rooms
for quiet. We do have phone rooms for privacy and when people don't want
background noise during a call.

And thanks Sergey, I'll have to check out coffeepoint.

We have music at the front desk ambassador's discretion, with the 
understanding that it should never impeded phone calls. We also have 
excellent white noise in both our "noisy" area and our "quiet zone". I 
highly recommending having at least two sound zones. I visited one place in 
Boston that had 5, including a "deadline room" and a room full of people on 
the phone.
