This is an opinion, but it seems this can make it easier for some. Because it's a constant noise that doesn't often change much, you eventually tune it out. It feels like it's the sudden change in ambient noise that causes a break in concentration. I use white noise, or a rain noise generator (they both do well for me) to get this same effect while studying.

Would love to know which white noise generator you use. I use "nature sounds" from spotify (usually beach sounds, lakes, birds chirping etc...)
