First things first, let’s talk about what makes Hipster Sound so unique. Instead of relying solely on Coffitivity’s background noise, Hipster Sound provides a rich blend of sounds that stimulate your brain and help you stay in the zone. Whether you’re studying, working, or just need a mental boost, this is your golden ticket.
Imagine this: you’re sitting in a cozy coffee shop, surrounded by the gentle hum of conversations, the clinking of cups, and the rhythmic tapping of keyboards. With Hipster Sound, all of these ambient noises come alive, putting you in the midst of a bustling creative space.
But that’s not all. Hipster Sound takes things up a notch by incorporating calming nature sounds into the mix. Picture yourself in a tranquil forest, listening to the soothing sound of chirping birds and a gentle breeze rustling through the leaves. It’s the perfect balance of stimulation and relaxation, creating an optimal environment for enhanced focus and productivity.

When it comes to customization, Hipster Sound has got you covered. You can personalize your experience by adjusting the volume and intensity of each sound. Need a little more chatter to get those creative juices flowing? No problem! Want to dial down the nature sounds and focus solely on the coffee shop ambiance? Easy peasy!

So, why settle for the same old background noise when you can enhance your productivity and concentration with Hipster Sound? With its unique blend of coffee shop ambiance and soothing nature sounds, this tool is a game-changer for anyone looking to level up their focus and get more done.
Don’t wait any longer – give Hipster Sound a try and experience the power of enhanced productivity for yourself. Trust me, you won’t look back.
Working from home can be challenging when it comes to staying focused. But I’ve discovered a clever trick that might help you. Have you ever considered using ambient noise to create a more natural and consistent background while working? Instead of music or white noise, try immersing yourself in the hustle and bustle of a coffee shop. I’ve personally found this “realistic” background noise to be more effective in keeping my focus while I write. A couple of years ago, I stumbled upon Coffitivity, a website and app recommended by Jeff Gamet from The Mac Observer that provides the steady sounds of various coffee shops and cafés.
Coffitivity has been my go-to companion for writing, but recently, while listening to the Windows Weekly podcast, I came across Hipster Sound. In my opinion, Hipster Sound is similar to Coffitivity but has certain improvements that make it stand out.
I’m sure you’ve heard of Coffitivity, right? Well, Hipster Sound is a bit different. They also start with various café backgrounds like Coffitivity, but here’s the twist: these backgrounds only serve as a starting point. With Hipster Sound, you have the option to add different sounds to create the perfect ambient environment.
Let me give you an example. Let’s say you choose the “Busy Café” background. Now, you can add a peaceful piano track called “Piano Bar” to it. Or maybe you prefer the natural chirping of birds with the “Open-Air Bistro” sound. And if you’re in the mood for some relaxation, you can mix the sound of calmly crashing waves from the “Ocean Lounge.” If you want a cozy atmosphere, why not add the crackle of a warm fire from the “Cosy Fireplace” sound? And if rain soothes you, you can pair the “Rainy Terrace” sound with your background.
Here’s the best part: you have full control over these additional sounds. You can adjust the volume of each one individually, so you can create the perfect balance of ambiance that suits your mood and preference.
I’ve discovered that combining the “Busy Café” base sound with “Open-Air Bistro” at a low volume and “Ocean Lounge” at medium volume creates the perfect auditory experience of a park-side outdoor café across from a beach. It’s a wonderful background that not only helps me focus, but also alleviates some of the loneliness of being alone in my home office all day.
Hipster Sound is a free service, but they offer a Premium Subscription for $7 per year, which gives you access to additional base tracks and sounds. I might consider upgrading in the future to support the service financially, but for now, I’m completely satisfied with the sounds and options available in the free version.
If you prefer a more “traditional” ambient sound, the creators of Hipster Sound also offer RainyScope, which combines the sound of a steady thunderstorm with various seasonal backgrounds.
Both Coffitivity and Hipster Sound are fantastic services if you haven’t tried them before. Here’s a little tip if you decide to give them a go: while they sound great on both desktop speakers and headphones, for maximum effectiveness, try using speakers placed a bit behind you when listening. For instance, I have a set of bookshelf AirPlay speakers on the wall opposite my desk, and I use them for Coffitivity and Hipster Sound. When the sounds come from a little distance behind you, the effect is truly remarkable. If you close your eyes and let yourself relax, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to the café of your dreams.
