Can music actually make you more productive?

Is it just me, or does music actually help with productivity? Personally, I find that fast-paced, energetic tracks keep me more engaged, while softer music works better for routine tasks.

I've observed that different types of music influence my concentration in distinct ways. Upbeat, fast-paced tracks tend to keep me engaged, particularly when working on tasks that require active focus, whereas softer music, such as piano or ambient sounds, is more effective for repetitive or routine work.

Also, while some people find background noise in environments like coffee shops beneficial for concentration, I often find it more distracting than helpful. Others prefer complete silence, as even minimal background noise can disrupt their focus.

What about you? What type of music boost your productivity? Or do you work best in total silence?
