White Noise for Loud, Distracting Study Environments

Found this earlier and it's working quite well so far. I've been dealing with birds and landscapers for the last couple days, and I know I'm not the only one with this problem.
But if any hunters want to come deal with the bird that flies in to my windowpane at 3PM everyday, feel free to swing by. Very bizarre, annoying phenomenon.

Ornithology is the new thing nowadays, so I heard but study distractions stink! I have some pigeons on the roof of my apt building who like to make noise every afternoon too & downstairs a yipping little dog - very annoying! Occasionally, I use a LectroFan Jr. - purchased it off of amazon.. works awesome - I also use it for sleeping at night. Drowns out a lot of noise. Not too expensive either.
Oh how I'd love to have one of those machines. Dogs are the worst, but these birds sound like a car alarm after it rains. Never knew I hated nature so much.
Did you hear this in Brooklyn or Portland? Sounds like their kind of thing.
LOL I think it was actually on the uk dailymail news website - but was in a recent cbs segment (queue the random link) -

MY grandmother's friend growing up was so into bird watching/ornithology. This was in the late 90s though and I wonder if she is still around bird watching. Seems like a serene and peaceful hobby though.
Weird. I guess it's better than Pokemon.
I like this ..
Thanks for this! Perfect for starbucks.
Found another one here. I couldn't tell if I was hallucinating (side effect of bipolar), but when I cranked the other one up, I could swear I heard a siren on loop about every 5 minutes. It worked for my PT on Friday, but I didn't start noticing until Saturday.
Good. Hope it helps.
I can imagine. It works wonders with ear buds. Props to you for even being able to study there.
Two worst things about Starbucks noise for me:
Job interviews for companies that barely exist. You know this because they're holding interviews at a Starbucks. Sad!
And web start-up guys jacked up on caffeine and yelling about their ill-considered business plan, usually some dumb app.
Top it off, there was once a guy a foot away from me cursing on his phone about his business partner going on a cocaine and adderral binge. Some weird people in that place. Not saying I'm not one of them though.
