Over the last ten years of following investment news and discussion regularly, I see this question comes up very regularly, or there’s news that some economic indicator changing in X way or such-and-such person predicts for Y reason, that means that we have a huge crash coming in the next few months.

I thought you were going to link Brian Eno’s Music for Airports

> intent of defusing the anxious atmosphere of an airport terminal as an alternative to "canned" Muzak and easy listening styles.

You could try using white noise, either an app or if you have a Mac or iPhone they have native white noise generation (Accessibility -> Hearing -> Background Sounds iirc)
