I have a tracking setup for spotify. I listen to music during work most of the day, typically between 11-17 with peaks at 1pm. Average at 40-60k minutes a year. Longest session being around 11 hours.

It helps me focus. But I'd be interested in seeing that study.

A quick google hints that people who always have music on and "fear" silence, do so to avoid negative thoughts or emotions. And the usual studies about constant background noise making you sick. But there's too much noise (lol) about "The perfect music to calm you down" and similiar crap, nothing specific yet. And i have work to do.

Edit: and (a highly technical) one, that reading comphension goes down with background music.

Editedit: sounds somehow agressive. No bad intent. Though i personally like silence.

It's true, I'm conscious of avoiding silence.
Music works when I'm working on a task that requires focus, but I need something more engaging when cooking, for example, like spoken word - podcasts, audiobooks, movies, YouTube.

Thanks for the links, will have a look

Nah. Just ADHD and deep emotional connection with music here.
