While we have heard from many listeners that the beats found on our stations provide them with an aurally pleasant atmosphere while working, SomaFM has been named among the "best sounds for getting work done" by Lifehacker.

Citing studies that have shown that minimally engaging music increases productivity, author Kevin Purdy notes that while classical music such as Mozart have long been touted as enhancing the brain, ambient music has often been chosen for the same purpose. Several of our channels— Groove Salad, Secret Agent, and Drone Zone— are named as favorites to achieve this state of musical stimulation while performing tedious tasks. We want to thank Lifehacker for bringing attention to one of the many ways our station can bring enjoyment to listeners anywhere.
