I can't write with background music, because I like being an active listener to music and I can't listen and write at the same time. I'm pretty much a set of eyes on the screen and fingers on the keyboard when I write. Any sort of ambient background noise doesn't bother me as long as I'm not actually expected to pay attention to it. Otoh, when I do listen to music it can often put me in a creative groove and give me ideas for new stories or ways to work out the roadblocks in existing ones.
