I wonder if that's why 'autistic kids' create their own 'white noise' to help them concentrate?

Hmm...after this they might reconsider what noise is...

So does that mean studying at the library's useless?

Can background music make you smarter?
The more you can concentrate with background noise, the more it strengthens the brain. Isaac Asimov used to set his typewriter up in stores and other loud places to work. His claim was that you get really good at writing when you’re in a crowd. You want to be energized by that background noise, rather than distracted.
