In the era of both remote work and the attempted return to the office, music can make all the difference between a distracted or productive day.Â
Music has long been linked to bursts of creativity, and many websites exist that can provide workers the ambience needed to get their best work done.  Â
However, there are many to choose from. Here are a few of the best background music websites, according to Morning Brew.
1. Endel
Endel offers a curated take on background music, using AI to create personal soundscapes based on a person’s environment and work day. While there is a free option, Endel operates on a subscription-based model. Â
2. The Vault of AmbienceÂ
Looking for a more ambient vibe? The Vault of Ambience YouTube channel provides just that, along with cozy visuals that can turn your apartment into a jazz club in New York or an enchanted forest.
3. Music for ProgrammingÂ
This website provides a wide variety of music genres, best suited for intensive coding work. However, any type of deep-focused work can benefit from Music for Programming’s offerings. Â
4. Lofi.coÂ
Lo-fi music has taken the work and study aesthetic to a new level. Through Lofi.co, users can access a huge range of lo-fi and calming sounds, whether it’s the sound of rain hitting a tin roof or white noise.
5. Brain.fmÂ
Similar to Lofi.co, Brain.fm offers playlists based on the vibe. If a worker is looking for upbeat music to be hyper-focused or wants to create a relaxing mood after reading through numerous research papers, there’s a curated playlist perfect for them.
