When it's silent I can hear my ears ring. Pretty much any amount of noise prevents that.

Silence=heaven. Then again if I am thinking or get into something I block everything out anyways (teachers, coworkers, parents, gf, friends, etc). I am very good at "tuning others out", and do it on a regular basis.

I enjoy being left alone a lot. I prefer noise when I am doing homework though, but only some background noises I get picky about it.

I absolutely can't stand silence. My girlfriend's old apartment was extremely quiet, and it made me very uncomfortable.

If I need to concentrate, there's no better environment. If I'm trying to relax, I prefer some background.
