You're not typical, but there are plenty of people in the same situation. I'm a trained musician. If there is music playing, it *demands* my attention. I cannot shuffle it to background and focus on the current task.
Interestingly, talking doesn't demand the same level of attention. I can more easily ignore the TV or a radio talk show than I can music. So if I'm jumpy and need some noise to fill the background, I turn on the TV -- usually to a show with a plot instead of the news.
