I voted "sometimes". I find it's actually easier for me to study when I'm home alone with the television on in the background. I find it impossible to study well in public, as I'm easily distracted by people walking by or chatting. Complete silence drives me nuts, too.

I also live with my boyfriend, so I try to get as much done as possible while he's at work. This way I don't have to give him as many dirty looks when he tries to start a conversation lol.

    It's one thing if the "noise" is a radio I turned on low in the background to a station I like. But usually noise is the rowdy students in the library who are so busy laughing loudly amongst themselves at their friends' Facebook pages, I can't get anything done. Or the classmates who "study" by talking out loud, then their cell rings and they're on the phone going blah-blah-blah at full volume. And I have some classmates who think "studying" is when you get together and talk about shoes, shopping, or kids, only occasionally interrupted by a sentence here & there from class.

    It's not all noise, but I think it's the lack of control over the noise type and level which interferes with my studying and stresses me.

    For your situation, you need to move that TV out of your study room. Can you put the TV in the bedroom? Or the desk in there... and close the door? Even with the sound off, I personally find the flashing bright graphics of the PS3 really attention grabbing.
