Sound and the overall atmosphere brought about by present sound in coffee shops are the major part of why this type of location is so effective in boosting an individual's sense of productiveness.

By observing the different sounds and music heard in the background by someone taking presence inside the cafe, there can be more understanding into why this setting helps with study and work focus.
