I feel mixed about that because of something I read in the Animator's Survival Guide, which was pretty much you make more progress without music. I've never really tried working to music.

From observations from my actual job which gets very tedious with quotas so I have to track my numbers and make sure I'm meeting company demands, music does slow me down but keeps me sane. 

That said, white noise is the best of both worlds. I produce faster than with music and the silence and tediousness doesn't kill me while I work. Whatever works bets for you though. You can probably test it out by timing how many Sudoku puzzles you can complete in a given time frame using one of those free random generating apps. See what's better for you, music, no music, or white noise.

Maybe not music and not flat white noise, but some generators like at https://mynoise.net/? I find that many of them help me concentrate, or get more energetic/more relaxed. Though the advice to test different things is a sound one (no pun intended). Music with lyrics in the same language as the one you are working in (say, while writing some texts) can actually make it harder to concentrate, but music with lyrics in a language different from the one you are currently using might help you focus... Different things work for different people, though. "Field" video game music also good? It is designed to help you focus, after all, to be "in the zone".

Intend your puns, coward!
