Recreating the feeling of Starbucks, without the high-priced coffee

A new website can help — it lets you stream the sound of a local coffee shop to wherever you are

This final note on the way out today, something to get your creative juices flowing.

We found a new website — Coffitivity — that lets you stream the sound of a local coffee shop to wherever you are.

Why? Turns out research shows that a moderate amount of ambient noise is good for creativity. The perfect range is about 70 decibels — yes, the same as you might find at a coffee shop or café.

Extreme quiet, by the way, does not foster creativity.
