Coffitivity brings the ambient noise of a coffee shop to your computer

7 March 2013

If you’re like many people, you love to work at coffee shops. It gets you out of the house and the noise and hubbub allows you to focus. But what if you could get the noise without the hubbub—and without leaving the house? Now you can.

Coffitivity is a webapp that does nothing more than play the ambient sound of a coffee shop, complete with the murmur of people talking, and clank of dishes being put down occasional laughter. You can practically smell the coffee.

Research shows that a moderate level of ambient noise enhances performance on creative tasks (and increases the likelihood of buying innovative products). It also increases creativity.

The Coffitivity folks suggest you put your headphones in and listen to music slightly louder than the background coffee-house sound. Btw, I learned about Coffitivity from the wonderful blog Lifehacker.

If you don’t read Lifehacker regularly, you’re missing out!

Intriguing!
