These statements are a bit harsh. If a developer that is neither used to, or didn't enjoy it reads your comment might feel like there's something wrong with him.

It depends a lot on the environment, the kind of task, etc. It's also a huge difference between working from an office with lots of people talking and working from home where there's nobody to bother you. Opening the window and hearings the birds would achieve a similar goal.

If you just open the window to listen to the birds, etc, you are listening to music, much like the point of John Cage's 4'33".

I'm glad you didn't make a point about "listening to your own thoughts is like music to the ears"....
