For me, it depends on what kind of work I'm doing, if I'm doing auth or something similar which is so simple that I can do with half mind, I listen to music in background, but they never are loud.
But if it requires focus or you're stuck at a test which just won't pass, I'll pause music to focus till I figure out, or if I'm doing research which needs attention, then I won't listen to music.
But 90% of things come naturally, so music most of the time.

That's what I do, when I am fixing bugs, refactoring or adding a simple feature.
It's a lot of fun honestly :D
That's exactly what I do too...
Here's the algorithm:
yep exactly
This exactly, if I need to focus or really think of something I pause the music.
